Bush had good reason to believe there were WMD in Iraq

is that you again cd4U???

[mware]

i noticed you just signed on today.

So far we have most of the parts and pieces. Just because we have not found an assembled, armed and deployed weapon is irrelevant.

My duaghter is a Chemical specialist who spent 15 months in Iraq in 2004/5. While at Camp Victory they were mortared. The rounds used contained cyanide. They were "chemical" rounds. Fortunately, the idiots firing them were bad shots, the wind was wrong, and the rounds failed to detonate because they were improperly assembled.

Anybody remember hearing about that in the news?

The UN's and the media rules for being able to label something a WMD are ridiculous. It's like saying you are going to search a house for a gun. You go in, find 99% of the pieces and a few bullets hidden in various locations, but are not allowed to say you found a gun.

Bio-Chemical Weapons & Saddam: A History.

LOL, much better than the way CD4U attempted to ask the question.

[pcottraux]

WMDs was A reason, not THE reason. There was also Saddam's support of terrorism, and liberating the Iraqi people. Plus, Iraq is the best candidate for liberating and establishing a CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY, because of the fertile water valleys that can create a good modern agricultural market (as well as the oil surplus the country receives).

And establishing a democracy is the best way to fight the ideology of terrorism, because it is combating an idea (Wahhabism, Mujahideenism, Jihad) with another idea (capitalism, liberty, human rights).

Go back to DU, troll.

try reading the documents that jveritas has translated you will get your answers.

The American people wouldn't support spilling American blood and wasting American treasure just to overthrow a foreign dictator...

I'd find it a lot easier to support the Iraq effort at this point if Bush showed us he really cares about the security of OUR OWN country by securing OUR BORDERS - NOW !!

How should he secure the borders?

By bringing home all our troops and posting them along the border?

How about we all show how much we want to secure our borders by holding hands along the border so that we can have an international game of red rover with the Mexicans.

Red Rover
Red Rover
Send Pedro
Right over the border.

and what if anything does your comment have to do with what I have said on this thread on WMD's?

[ZULU]

"While Bush may have been badly misled by his own intelligence and other sources, he did not lie. He believed, and had good reason to believe, that the weapons existed."

Think about this.

EVERY intelligence service in the world believed Saddam had WMD. His arab neighbors thought he had WMD. The Clinton Administration said he had WMD. Refugees from Iraq said he had WMD.

We invade Iraq and "can't find" WMDs. Ergo, Saddam must have fooled the British inteligence, American intelligence under at least two Prisdents, his own people, all his neighbors and the intelligence networks of numerous other nations.

Does THAT sound plausible??? I don't think so.

He had them. We missed them. He got them out of there to Syria or even possibly Libya before we invaded or they are secreted somewhere in Iraq.

[pcottraux]

By bringing home all our troops and posting them along the border?

Well, we have more than enough stationed in places all over the world where we don't need them, like France and Germany.

[mware]

he is still with us but only posted twice since he signed on. Not long for this thread i suspect.

[pcottraux]

His own generals thought he had them.

[RSmithOpt]

But his administration did use the threat of WMDs to persuade the American people to support an invasion of Iraq...Oh....pleaeeeeeese.......give me a f'n break. You don't seriously believe that do ya?

Dems and Pubs alike knew they were there and I'd make a small wager, truth be known, that Israel was getting ready to do something about it if we didn't.

I'd be willing to bet Bush going in to remove Saddam kept WWIII from starting, at least for now.

[pcottraux]

He'll get his. Once Chuck Norris or the Viking Kitties (or both) find him, he's done for!!! And they miss no one.

Who dares stand up to the almighty power of the ZOT????

[pcottraux]

And we also found 36 mortar shells full of blister gas buried in the sands of the Iraqi desert.

Blister gas is one of the deadliest chemical weapons in the world.
