I hope you are being sarcastic.
Now that they are starting to come out and use these weapons is proof that they were, and probably still are, in Iraq.
No matter what happens, people like you will never believe that this is a real threat.
Do you realize that most Islamic people, and yes I said most, would not care one bit if the United States was destroyed and removed from the face of the earth. It is in the Koran that they are to convert the entire world to Islam, either by the word or by the sword.
If you think these people are all "lovey dovey" for you, why don't you go and visit one of these areas where they are taking civilian hostages. Once they grab you, till them that you wish that we could all respect diversity, tell them my beliefs are as good as your beliefs.
I hope you realize that the Islamic religion does not respect diversity, in fact it will not allow diversity. The laws are written out in the Koran, and as a Islamic religion follower, you are not allowed to deviate from them at all. If you do, the punishment is death. It is that simple in Islamic culture.
So, please go to Iraq and spread the word of diversity and see how long it will take you lose your head.
Err... HELLO???????????
I'm am a proud republican and bush voter, and I supported the removal of saddam wholeheartedly. All I asked was a question - which given the lack so far of stockpiles, and the amount of foreign arabs in Iraq, and the fact that a lot of neighboring countries have WMDs, doesn't seem totally beyond the bounds of reason to ask.
Unfortunately, it is the over-reaction of some of our fellow republicans to questioning/debate (even if you do think it's a stupid question, not everyone might) that shed us in a bad light with a lot of people. You are right that some people will never be 'converted' to realizing the threat but I am not one of them. And it's pretty unhelpful to suggest that asking this type of question makes me automatically a terrorist sympathiser or at least anti-US which is basically what you infer. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I agree that it's the greatest possibility of it coming from Iraq. I'm just saying that it's not a vanishingly small probability that it came from outside - in fact I'd be much MORE concerned if this was the case as it would mean the terrorists are able to transport more easily than I imagined. Maybe it even came from Syria????? Isn't that outside iraq? Does this suggestion suddenly make me a peacenik?
Next time please think before you attack.
