"Imaginary WMD's"?
And these people are imaginary victims of Saddam's imaginary WMD's...correct?
BOSTON, MA (March 21, 1995) - Soil samples taken in 1992 from bomb craters near a Kurdish village in northern Iraq by a team of forensic scientists contained trace evidence of the nerve gas GB, also known as Sarin. This is the same lethal chemical agent identified in the Tokyo incidents of March 19.In 1988, shortly after the ceasefire that ended the Iran - Iraq war, the government of Saddam Hussein launched a major military offensive against the Kurds in northern Iraq, sending tens of thousands of refugees fleeing into southeastern Turkey. Six weeks later, in October 1988, a Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) medical team interviewed and medically examined dozens of Kurdish refugees who either witnessed or showed physical symptoms of chemical weapons attacks. The team concluded that bombs containing mustard gas and at least one unidentified nerve agent had been dropped on Kurdish villages in northern Iraq.
And that was imaginary as well?
And every single U.N. security council resolution since 1991 was asking Saddam to disarm what exactly?
"...most experts agree..."
What experts exactly?
I asked you to defend a pre-emptive attack on Afghanistan, and you give me "bin Laden and his minions", and justify a pre-emptive strike on Afghanistan based on the fact that the men who planned and implemented the 9/11 attacks was there.
But had we acted pre-emptively, I would argue that the Taliban never attacked us, so your reasoning is faulty at best.
Like the rest of the leftist, or Buchanan's "blame America first" Brigadiers, you would justify a pre-emptive strike against Afghanistan based on events that may have never happened as a result of pre-emptive action!
You blame Bush for not acting pre-emptively to stop the 9/11 attacks based on sketchy information from unconfirmed sources, and give him crap for acting pre-emptively on Iraq, based on solid intelligence from our staunchest allies, AND what was "common knowledge" to the United Nations. Because if they did not believe that Hussein had WMD's, then what the hell where all those "resolutions" about?
And what weapons was he supposed to be disarming?
Here's the REAL question:
Where are Saddam's WMD's?
The whole world believed he had them, hard to believe that they never existed.
As a matter of fact...Saddam believed that he had them.
