It was the beginning of an answer. One that requires you to verify what I say, else I would be wrongly charged of making shit up or selectively send you to places that suit my view.
I have found this to be a common behavior among those who charged US with 'lying about WMD' in Iraq. Once they found out they have to share the burden on finding out the TECHNICAL issues involved, they usually back down. They are comfortable with the limited knowledge they possess, which is what they got from the mainstream media, the same media that they used to accuse others of brainwashing the public in the first place.
As I said playing with words is a brilliant maneuvering to avoid the main Q ... even if we consider that the possibility that I have no knowledge regarding definition of WMD or what type of weapons it includes , it was irrelevant to my point ... to dodge a discussion you gotta find better ways than bringing "limited knowledge" ....
And when exactly I charged you about 'lying about WMD' in Iraq?
By the way, As you said:
The initials 'WMD' does not mean ONLY functional nuclear explosive devices.
And could you please tell me which part of my post contradicts your statement?
Because the initials 'WMD' includes nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons. For this discussion, we are talking about nuclear.
This is not a trivial game of logic. If Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, then open up everything for inspection, not just in the short term, but in the long. It is not up to Iran to prove that negative. It is the duty of the foreign inspectors who are distrustful of Iran.
Back in 2003-2005 Iran implemented the additional protocol and let IAEA inspectors to visit Iran military sites like Parchin, we suspended our nuclear program for 2.5 years and all our facilities were open for inspections ..,. 24/7 intrusive inspections through human watch and cameras ... Iran answered all questions asked by agency .....
And what we received? nothing, they told us the best way to assure international community that Iran NP is peaceful and would never deviate from its peaceful purposes is an Iran without nuclear program ... at first they asked us to dismantle all centrifuges and then ship the entire nuclear related devices and materials out ...
Again back in 2007 , there was a mutual plan btw Iran and agency which in agency would ask all its Q and Iran would answer it once for all .... the Qs were asked in 6 parts Iran answered all of them one by one and agency confirmed each of them by one letter ... base on deal agency were supposed to close Iran file which it didn't ... they brought up PMD and wanted Iran to answer it and Iran did answer that too .. but again nothing happened ...
Right now Iran program is under control of IAEA as it was for the past 4 decades and still nothing has been found to indicate any deviation from its peaceful purposes and still you as an American have audacity to come here and tell us Iran must "open up everything for inspection"?
