20. He might try.
But he told an out and out lie, and sometimes you have to call people on that stuff. It has three advantages: first, it weakens the premise of his argument -- that Saddam was so horrible we had to take him out; second, it damages his credibility on the board; and third, it might piss him off to the point where he starts mentally sputtering. Basically, you are calling him a liar without using the words.

I can see your side of it -- he might try to mire you down with nonsense 'facts' and take the focus away from the real argument. But personally I like crushing people who do that ;-)
