I give up on this, I've yet to be linked to any references for anything you've said despite asking for them.

It's hard to link either being there or talking to people who have been there. I use the net for some sources of information.

Just for the fun of it I google'd 'Sudan nerve gas soil samples' and found quite a few hits, but I didn't click through I didnt notice a CNN article on the top.

For fun...

Rath may not be the only one who needs to do some research.

The US later ended up paying him for the mistake, though claimed they were still sure he was guitly, but rather then give away details would rather pay a terrorist a bunch of money.  Cause that TOTALLY makes sense.

Actually he is the only one that does need to do his research, your presumption is fair though - but I think without immodesty that I wrote more on the al-Qaeda link to the Ba'ath party than just Sudan. Sudan who at the time of the bombing had helped the United States in every way to rid themselves of Osama Bin Laden and his syndicated crime family, Sudan whose government had given forewarning to an attack planed on the United States at around September. Sudan who up until then had one of the best diplomatic relations of any country in that region with the United States.  That the attack was done without any communication to the Sudanese government and that the US refused to have UN investigators figure the place out. That engineers of the building say it would have been impossible to house nerve gas there and that scientists say without the samples they may never know if the soil was nerve gas or a pesticide.

There were two claims by the US government before the attack; that the pharmacy never commercially sold drugs and that nerve gas was found in the soil.

The latter was reviewed and found to be undoubtedly nerve gas as the chemical compounds differed significantly enough on one end of the molecule from the pesticide variant, the first is and I admit out of my knowledge I never read up on the pharmacies commercial activities. I do know though that the Sudanese government had pictures of essentially over the counter drugs on shelves in the pharmacy prior to the bombing.

It doesn't matter if they had nerve gas or not, the use of the air force was illegal and Clinton should have had to answer for it before a Judge or at least Congress. Even if it was proven they had WMD's without a doubt in other words impossibly absolute clarity of WMD's being manufactured there, the bombings would still be illegal as diplomacy was not even attempted before the attack.

-- I will have to reffer again to International law for my measure of legality.

As fair your presumption may be it is superfluous to put it mildly.
