Uh...that's his point. He was being sarcastic. Kos prides itself on being pretty darn liberal.

Yes, I pulled the statistic out of my ass. From my own research. But this should be pretty obvious: Let's see, we've got North Korea, Yassar Arafat, Somalia, Rwanda, the list goes on.

The first bolded item is my opinion. You don't like it? I don't really care.

The trailers were definitely discovered, but whether they were labs or not is up for grabs. The CIA says they were, an Independent Fact Finding missions says they weren't, and a BBC source says he's 40% sure that they were.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_weapons_laboratory summarizes it nicely. Look at the references if you want sources.

As for the last fact, I know a guy in Army Intelligence. If you want a 3rd party source:
http://www.nysun.com/article/26514

Granted, it was faulty intelligence that got us into Iraq in the first place, but given that the Israelis already destroyed a Syrian nuclear reactor, it's not much of a stretch to assume Saddam gave them chemical/biological WMDs. If you don't trust Saddam's ex-advisor, there's a cite from an Israeli source saying the same thing. (page 4)

Also, Saddam has freely admitted to wanting to rebuild his WMD program to his interrogator.

You honestly think 48 hours is enough to clean out an entire country's supposed massive stockpiles of WMD and covertly drive them to a neighboring country under the watchful eyes of patrol aircraft, spy satellites, etc without a trace left behind?

That's awfully hard to believe.

Also, Saddam saying he wanted to rebuild his WMD program is news to no-one. It doesn't matter what sort of things he wanted to do at some nebulous point in the future, that doesn't justify an invasion.

If I read your post correctly you say you don't like Obama because he would choose to use diplomacy first. What do you propose? Military action against every country that dislikes us or we suspect has a WMD program? We were told Iraq was behind 9/11. They weren't. We were told they had WMD's. They didn't. Are you ready to attack Iran on the same premise?

If he didn't have a lot to clean out, then yes. We're not talking about the nuclear stockpiles of Russia here... Iraq's stuff was probably biological and chemical in nature. Also, please notice that the Israelis reported this in 2002 before the invasion. And it was page 4 of the nysun article. My bad.

You try an dpass this off as proof:

June 15, 2003 It was revealed that the trailers discovered were for the production of hydrogen to fill artillery balloons, as the Iraqis had insisted all along. [16] The artillery balloons were used to get detailed weather data to be used to accurately direct artillery shelling. A British scientist and biological weapons expert was quoted "They are not mobile germ warfare laboratories. You could not use them for making biological weapons. They do not even look like them. They are exactly what the Iraqis said they were - facilities for the production of hydrogen gas to fill balloons." It was confirmed later that this expert was Dr David Kelly
.
.
.
July 17/18, 2003 Dr David Kelly, a key source for many of the newspaper articles doubting the Mobile weapons labs, is found dead. An inquiry into his death, The Hutton Inquiry, found his death to be suicide.

September 8, 2003

? The discovery by U.S. forces in Iraq of two mobile 'biological weapons laboratories' was touted by President Bush as clear evidence that Iraq possessed illegal weapons capabilities. However, it now is clear that these so-called labs were nothing more than hydrogen generation units based upon British technology acquired by Iraq in the 1980s, used to fill weather balloons in support of conventional artillery operations, and have absolutely no application for the production of biological agents. ?

No. I'm saying nothing of the sort. My opinion is hardly a stretch of the imagination, and I've stated it as my opinion multiple times. Take it or leave it. It makes sense to a lot of people I've talked to, and I have valid evidence for it.

Also, there's the fact that you have yet to actually post an opinion of your own, while you freely flame me and poke holes in my sources. Holes that I've admitted are there no less. This leads me to believe that you're simply one of the antagonistic attention whores that gives P&N its reputation.

Moving on...

yeah.

I think with print and news media, discounting the editorial pages and commentators, there's a reasonable expectation that pure news stories will do their best to be unbiased news.

that same assumption is not there when it comes to blogs.

Your free to take your opinions on a hike anytime you want. 😛

Any reasonable person can see that Iraq wasn't a threat, that they didn't have stockpiles of WMD's, that they didn't have the long range missles or the uranium Bush and his whole administration tried to scare everybody with.

The best you can do is some supposed experts who say there is a 40% chance that these trailers could have been mobile WMD labs? I would venture a guess they could make that claim about any trailer with wheels.

LOL, talk about your antagonistic attention whores.

I already said I thought Iraq was a mistake, and I never said they were a threat. I've also said that whatever stockpiles they might have had were probably small enough to be evacuated/destroyed during the 48 hour period.

Please read the posts.

Personally, I think Iraq would have become a threat, oh, maybe in 2010 if we hadn't invaded. If NK can get a nuke, I fail to see why Iraq couldn't given time.

It is when someone who has been (still is?) pimping for Ron Paul starts a thread titled 'I Refuse to Buy into the Obama Hype'.

Are you an idiot? The title of this thread is the title of the news article. Get a clue.
 
So you're not voting for Obama because you're worried he might piss off the Chinese toy industry? Boy, thats one reason I'd never heard of before. Do us all a favor and just stay home.

Yes, because voting for Ron Paul is a great way to avoid the hype machine in this election :roll:

Maybe he feels Paul is the only one who deserves his vote.

Is that wrong? 😕

How does that change the fact that you - a Ron Paul supporter - posted an article about Obama being all hype?
