In my definition, nuclear weapons are the only WMDs.

Your definition is wrong.

You probably think an automatic weapon is a WMD, or maybe even an archery set.

Strawman.

John, when you get a chance why don't you go to Google's image search and type in Halabja.

Whoops, you answered half my question as I was posting. It's an odd definition you possess. Let me know if you maintain that decision when (not if) Sarin gas is released into an indoor stadium.

Paper shufflers?

How about the guys that go out there and go after terrorists? The kind of people who may not make it back when they do their work. The kind of people who need to have real information to do their work.

You know what's funny? I'm sure you are one of those people who blame "American arrogance" for the problems we face today... Yet you could be the most arrogant a$$ I've come across on FR.

It's now confirmed that the substance in the Iraqi artillary shell is positively ID'd as Sarin. Enough of the substance to have had a kill rate in the thousands had it properly deployed. This should be a huge story, but media outlets are still too busy reporting that actor Tony Randall is dead.

My resepect for JimRob and the other people on this site force me to refrain from tell you EXACTLY what a steaming pile of feces I think you are.

"You are an enforcer for the DC-tax regime and the policy dreamed up by Ivy League dateless wonders."

I am a defender of an ideology and way of life that goes back over 230 years. It will outlive me and it will certainly outlive scum such as yourself.

I would tell you about the honor I feel dedicating my life to defending the freedoms of this country for my children and people of this country I will never meet but things like honor, duty and loyalty are meaningless to you.

Your are intellectually vacant and a moral coward and I would give my life to defend your right to be such an idiot.
I swore an oath to God and this country to do that.

It's too bad you don't have the mental capacity to fully understand what doing something like that means.

No John, unlike you I have a CLEAR definition of what WMD is and what constitutes a WMD.

Weapon = Devise to kill or disable an opponet.
Mass = Large or numerous.
Destruction = To kill or destroy.

Nothing here about when it was invented.

Let me see. Is mustard gas a weapon? Yes. Does mustard gas affect large amounts of people in sufficient quantities? Yes. Does mustard gas kill? Yes.

Therefore, mustard gas is a WMD.

The Chinese think your little war in Iraq is quite quaint BTW.

This is America's war. I thought you were an American? That makes it your war as well, whether you agree or not with the validity of it. Speak up, dissent if you feel you must, it's your right. But to separate yourself from the war by calling it "your war " tells me something. I believe you sir are a traitor and a coward.

"Ivy League dateless wonders"

Well, this takes the discussion to a higher level. I'm sure you have a fact sheet to support this claim that the war-planners were generally unmarried and/or "dateless."

"Lack the courage to sign up yourself?"

Well, let's say hypothetically for the moment the person you aimed this at was in fact a coward. What in the wide world would that have to do with the issue at hand? There are people who lack the courage to fly -- by your logic, airplanes should be banned.

Enough of this emotionalistic drivel. Please engage us on a substantive level; give us the REAL reasons you're against our involvement in Iraq.

You should know that before the war the US and UN agreed it was not likely that Iraq had nuclear weapons. VX and sarin was at the top of the list of WMD's the US was worried about. The UN was also because they found many after the gulf war, but never found the quantities supposedly destroyed. Many many articles about WMD's and sarin, you should do a search on them.

"You are intellectually vacant and a moral coward."

Sounds like a description of Ayn Rand libertarianism or "objectivism," i.e., people whose brain is only large enough to hold one idea and whose sympathies extend no further than the surface of their own skin.
