How would we know? Its not like we would take Saddams word for it, and well, who else could verify it if it wasn't a cover up? The US? The sad truth is neither side could 'prove' what the truth is. However, we KNOW the world would take our word for it. Its an issue of credibility. The fact is, its one of those things you could never really prove. What, are those 'imbedded reporters' gonna get the inside scoope on it? Like they even report regular operations, let alone 'black ops.'
The truth is, we could do it in theory, and there is no way anyone is gonna prove that we didn't uncover Iraqs hidden WMDs. Even if you think we are too good an honorable for that, the truth, is we could get away with it, and you know it!
Whether we do it or not is another matter, but of course we could!
