Yeah, I hope it's true, too. That way, we can go to war right away, and end up having biological weapons dropped on our troops for sure, and then launching nuclear weapons at various population centers in response. Woo hoo!
why would we attack a population center instead of military centers?

Because Saddam keeps his military centers in his population centers.

We wouldn't. To do so would be ludicrous. But anti-patriots like Zakath15 and others would love to see the US be doomed to failure and take on criticism for doing so. Of course, we are not going to drop biological weapons on the Iraqi people

It gets better. Caught On Tape

The Bush administration is preparing to release supersensitive electronic intercepts obtained by the National Security Agency that officials say prove that Iraq has repeatedly lied to United Nations inspectors, plotted among themselves about how to conceal weapons material and even appeared to boast afterward at their success in doing so, NEWSWEEK has learned.

A White House aide said the electronic intercepts were only one part of a much broader picture that would include satellite photos and other evidence showing Iraqi noncompliance. ?There won?t be a smoking gun, but when people hear it all you?ll see a burning forest,? said one senior administration official.

And the rest of 'them'? Like stated further up (or in another thread)... they're readying their "So why haven't we gone to war yet???" signs. :D
ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, any minute now they are going to be saying, "Darn it, Bush isn't doing his job, he is pandering to the UN and wasting time, why haven't we attacked yet!"

LOL!

No, sadly any amount of proof is not going to please some people.

This is unfortunately true. The entire city of Berkeley, CA is going to be in denial. They will then go live in their own little world where they ignore world events.

Or perhaps you will be in denial when this article is discredited and Bush's incriminating evidence turns out to be a convoy of trucks driving down a highway that are certain to contain nukes because of top secret intelligence

I don't know who you think you're fooling, the majority of those advocating restraint in the war on Iraq do so because of the lack of solid evidence, and would be happy to see such evidence and subsequently attack once it is presented. We have no cause for embarrasment if it turns out everything Saddam is accused of is true. Only people like you who somehow manage to get the issue mixed up in patriotism and similar BS stand to lose if nothing turns up.

Well keep watching and we'll see. There already IS solid evidence. People like you choose not to accept it. You won't agree until D.C. gets nuked.

I could say something really funny with your nick, but I won't. That reminds me, I have weeds to pull.

Evidence? What kind of evidence do you need? All you need to know is that Iraq did not comply with the UN treaties that were put in place at the end of the Gulf War as a requirement for ending the war. They kicked out inspectors etc. Why? So they can create baby formula? Truth is, the reason is not important, what is important is the fact that they do not comply with the UN and the latest UN reports just confirms that.

Underground bunkers below sand dunes? Underground passages? No way. He's hosed.

I'd be very surprised if they let any inspectors in any of those facilities. If they did then I doubt they would actually see 'everything'.
