A Democratic president versus a Republican president?

If you want to wade through a bunch of raw information used in the investigation of Gulf War Syndrome, the above link is interesting. Saddam owned some serious stuff...and he picked some odd places to keep it.
George Bush wasn't in office then.
/s, I think...
Yes, we hope they're either lost forever or that the good guys find them.
We've had to prepare for that remotely possible incident and I'm telling you there's no way I'm putting on one of those chemical/biological suits during the summer around this place. LOL
John Kerry called them "massive weapons of individual destruction".
If you cannot defeat an enemy militarily, you could do it morally. What better damage to do to an enemy than to take away its credibility?
UN inspectors: Saddam shipped out WMD before war and after
SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM
Friday, June 11, 2004
The United Nations has determined that Saddam Hussein shipped weapons of mass destruction components as well as medium-range ballistic missiles before, during and after the U.S.-led war against Iraq in 2003.
The UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission briefed the Security Council on new findings that could help trace the whereabouts of Saddam's missile and WMD program.
The briefing contained satellite photographs that demonstrated the speed with which Saddam dismantled his missile and WMD sites before and during the war. Council members were shown photographs of a ballistic missile site outside Baghdad in May 2003, and then saw a satellite image of the same location in February 2004, in which facilities had disappeared.
More than a few Kurds amd Iranis would, if dead people could talk, say that they did. And they were not bashful about using them, either.
give it up! If you can't find it, then it never existed! Like Jimmy Hoffa never existed! And Natalie Holloway never existed!
Then my silver lighter that looks like a cowboy boot that I got at the Houston Rodeo never existed!
You forgot to include those two Brokeback Senate poster boys for the Democratic party at that time, Tommy Daschle and Dickie Gephardt issuing a joint statement back in '98 how Saadam had WMD's and was a threat to the world.
Nice list though........
They ask our soldiers to give 24/7 in some of the most rugged conditions imaginable...yet they can't keep any intensity levels up for a mere 20 hours a week in continuously setting the record straight about Iraq and the WOT.
The RNC is pathetic that it has never run ads simply showing what all others said regarding the WMDs along with stating the facts that we acted to removed Saddam from power for over a dozen reasons....the WMD equation was merely one of those reasons...and to a large extent the WMD equation has been dealt with. In that we know for certain now that Saddam and his Gov't will never posses WMDs again.
And from the 1998 State of the Union Show by President Clinton....
[Together, we also must also confront the new hazards of chemical and biological weapons, and the outlaw states, terrorists and organized criminals seeking to acquire them. Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade, and much of his nation's wealth, not on providing for the Iraqi people, but on developing nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons -- and the missiles to deliver them. The United Nations weapons inspectors have done a truly remarkable job, finding and destroying more of Iraq's arsenal than was destroyed during the entire Gulf War. Now Saddam Hussein wants to stop them from completing their mission.
I know I speak for everyone in this chamber, Republicans and Democrats, when I say to Saddam Hussein: You cannot defy the will of the world. (Applause.) And when I say to him: You have used weapons of mass destruction before; we are determined to deny you the capacity to use them again. (Applause.)]

And this from the State of the Union Show 1999 by President Bill Clinton...
[For nearly a decade, Iraq has defied its obligations to destroy its weapons of terror and the missiles to deliver them. America will continue to contain Saddam -- and we will work for the day when Iraq has a government worthy of its people.
Last month, in our action over Iraq, our troops were superb. Their mission was so flawlessly executed that we risk taking for granted the bravery and skill it required. Captain Jeff Taliaferro, a 10 year veteran of the Air Force, flew a B-1B bomber over Iraq as we attacked Saddam's war machine. He is here with us tonight. Let us honor him and all the 33,000 men and women of Desert Fox.
...
We are the heirs of a legacy of bravery represented by millions of veterans. America's defenders today stand ready at a moment's notice to go where comforts are few and dangers are many, doing what needs to be done as no one else can. They always come through for America. We must come through for them.]

They are in Syria, at least the WMD that haven't been provided to Iran and other terrorists.
Can anybody here remember the incident, shortly after we went into Iraq, where some chemical/WMD engineers from (I think) Syria, Libya, N. Korea were traveling on a train and were hit with a missle? The report said an American missle, but then it was dropped and never spoken of again.
I have been trying to find that, but I have a different computer than I had when that happened. I believe this was connected to the WMD from Iraq.
"Better that they be lost forever than found by and used by the bad guys. Politics be damned, there are lives at stake. Perhaps this is what the President meant when he mentioned using political capital. "
My thoughts exactly. We have the best satellite intel in the world and could track anything. Powell showed it to the UN in as much as identifying the licence plates of the trucks moving the crap out.
How did we lose hundreds of trucks that left Iraq for Syria? That still hasn't been answered yet.
Some of 'em are in Iraq.
No joke.
Saddam's WMD
have been found

Bump.
This needs to be repeated again and again and announced from the rooftops. There are people in this country that are operating with a dangerous agenda, and it's not just the terrorists. These people will say what is expedient at one moment and then say the exact opposite when it serves their purposes. They are going to end up getting many good Americans KILLED, all for the sake of their little political games.
Where I come from that's called treason, and we have harsh punishments for that sort of thing... or we used to, anyway.
