No, you would want to know how he knows. Just "knowing" isn't an acceptable answer.

The government does tell us information but you're making it sound like everything they're saying is a lie. There is substantial proof to backup our reasons to go to war but for some reason people still want to deny the facts. They demand report after report after report and then when they finally get a report they sit on their asses and wait to decide on action. Sorry but the longer we wait the less chance there is of succeeding in our mission. You think Saddam doesn't know what we're planning on doing? The more we wait the more time he has to prepare and it's that cowardly mentality that you have shining through that gets more people killed. The more we wait the greater the chance that an increased number of people die. I don't think anyone would put detonating a nuke in the middle of say NYC by Saddam. I'm sure he would figure out a way to do it.
In this case Civilian knowing is an acceptable answer. You seem to think that Saddam is just going to sit on his thumb and wait for us to act. We've let this drag on long enough and Saddam is probably more than prepared.
It's almost like you think like we're dealing with a normal person. Saddam is a monster and anyone in their right mind
KNOWS that.
