Intellectual cleanup on aisle seven

To Unnamed Coworker 1: This is not a valid argument for the existence of WMD stockpiles in 2003 pre-war Iraq:

Let me ask you this... if Iraq got rid of their WMDs before the war, then where did they go?

It's been a while since college, but I don't think "If A then B. Therefore A." is a valid form of hypothetical syllogism. But then again, these are the best arguments for the existence of God, and most folks still think He exists.

To Unnamed Coworker 2: While I commend you for finally finding citations for the strange claims you make, it's quite a leap from "suspicious trucks" to "piles of anthrax ready to be handed over to Al-Qaeda". This is what we invaded Iraq for? Lame.
