And as usual, W_'s statement taken at face value is wrong and/or
misleading. A simple check of history shows Saddam did in fact have
WMDs for years, because they were used in war and against his own
people.

Read Duelfer's report. Learn facts before posting. When David
Kay's report said WMDs did not exist, then extremists had Kay's report
withheld hoping that Charles Duelfer’s report would say otherwise.
Instead, Duelfer’s report said what Kay's report said - and more.
Those WMDs did not exist.

trader should first learn before knowing. trader's constant
bickering is directly traceable to knowledge with first learning
facts. Another indication of that, his problem, are posts full of
insults rather than technical facts. When will trader post a technical
facts or citation? trader even denies what was well documented about
Saddam's WMDs. No wonder he also posts insults that only Rush
Limbaugh would be proud of.

Meanwhile, a protector is only as effective as its earth ground
which is why one 'whole house' protector is *routine* for effective
household surge protection. Which is why responsible homeowners also
inspect their primary surge protection:

trader also denies this despite a long list of industry professionals
that trader never bothered to learn from.

Another professional standard contradicts naysayers such as trader.
IEEE Green Book (IEEE Std 142) entitled 'Static and Lightning
Protection Grounding':
Lightning cannot be prevented; it can only be intercepted or
diverted to a path which will, if well designed and constructed,
not result in damage. Even this means is not positive,
providing only 99.5-99.9% protection. ...
Still, a 99.5% protection level will reduce the incidence of direct
strokes from one stroke per 30 years ... to one stroke per
6000 years ...

Significantly effective is only one 'whole house' protector.
Protector for about $1 per protected appliance. How much for the
ineffective plug-in protector? $25 or $150 per protected
appliance. Where does that plug-in protector even claim to protect
from typically destructive surges? No plug-in manufacturer
specification exists. It does not even claim to protect from the
typically destructive sruge. IEEE is quite blunt about effective
protection from a properly earthed 'whole house' protector. Unlike
trader, I even provide numbers.

trader never read industry standards. Unnecessary. trader
automatically knows without first learning.
