Don't Be So Sure There Were No WMD in Iraq

Damn good points that are rarely raised.

[ikez78]

It’s possible this has already happened.

[ikez78]

I’d hope that there would be someone to at least tell that story one day and if that’s the case there shouldn’t be much reason to still keep it secret.

President Bush shouldn’t have based the reasoning for the war on weapons of mass destruction. There were any number of other reasons for going in, and WMD was one of the lesser ones. Since no WMDs were found, our credibility is destroyed if we want to use force against any other country for the same reasons.

Iran and Iraq exchanged coffins of dead soldiers from the iran iraq war also about this time. How do we know these coffins really had the remains of soldiers in them? What if some of those coffins had war materials in them?

Thank you and your husband for your sacrifice and service.

Not knowing the President’s motives for denial, I can only speculate. Assume jveritas’ translations and interpretations of Saddam’s documents are correct and WMD’s are buried in the Anbar province. If he announced this to dispel the “no WMD’s in Iraq” mantra of the left, he would simply be revealing the location of an incredible cache to terrorists and insurgents. IMHO, he is sacrificing his reputation for our safety. I’ll go out on that limb with him anytime.

But its so much fun.
If you got Rosey on the “V” screaming about 911 Conspiracies and telling the public this is the truth...why can’t we enjoy “What happen to Saddam’s WMDs”?

That is great and thanks!

Excellent observation.

I don't see the Russian angle here. I think that the WMD were moved to Syria for safe-keeping in the event that Saddam remained in power (probably with an agreement that Syria would keep some of the WMD). In his deluded mind, Saddam either doubted American resolve in removing him or that somehow he would survive and come to power again.

If Syria were known to have the WMD, the pressure would be on the U.S. to eliminate the WMD in Syria. That is one more war than the Bush Administration wants to fight. In addition, such disclosure would put Israel in a difficult spot. The Israeli government would feel pressure to eliminate these weapons in the hands of such an ardent foe. That is a war that Israel probably doesn't want to fight now. I can see motivation for everyone involved to keep this quiet.

“I said neither (if you’ll note in my previous posts) but as has become common practice of late, much easier to toss slurs eh? So tell us samm when did you stop beating your wife?”

A slur? Holocaust denial is fairly common these days. The accusation of ‘beating my wife’ is from what? Because someone who has seen something disagrees with your theories is no reason to get nasty. You need to grow up.

“You’ll provide me the exact document that Kuwait is a member state of our union will you? How about Nigeria? Darfur, Sudan? Somalia? What happens between two other nations frankly is not of my concern as neither represent a threat to our nation.”

What does national alliances have to do with your denial of reality? You said the WMD’s never existed. I refuted that with a fact. It obviously upset you. Well that is how it is.

I don’t see how people can be so seriously deranged about this that they deny reality. I suppose the pap ‘liberalism is a mental disorder’ must be true. I don’t plan on further debate with you. How on earth is it possible with someone who denies reality? But I will continue to refute outright lies. You guys aren’t getting away with it anymore.

I answer ridiculous questions with ridiculous questions. There was no answer that would make sense to you anyway. What does the Holocaust have to do with anything?

Please provide where I said they never existed. Course they existed. Hussein killed a lot of Kurds with them. And Rumsfeld was photographed shaking his hand around the same time. Course I imagine he was just there looking for terrorists huh?

[Milligan]

“Rumsfeld was photographed shaking his hand”

Boy that real weak...that’s all you can come up with.... One stinky photograph?

How many people shaked Saddam’s hand?

Chiraq and Saddam are great pals, didn’t you know that? Look at these pictures.

Here’s another...I guess their waiting for their Mistresses to call.

I’m not going to read another comment “US gave Saddam the Chemical Weapons to kill the Kurds”

That’s hogwash. The world community gave Saddam chemicals for peaceful purposes. Saddam decided to weaponize them.

I shouldn’t bother answering you....Your a Doom and Gloomer.
