So, have they found any WMD's yet?

[Zrom999]

I'm sure Saddam had those weapons and in this recent conflict and because he is such a great humanitarian that cares for the well being of people, and has a high sense of morality that he chose not to unleash biological weaponry, poison gases, chemical agents, and radiation weapons on the invading forces or on the populations of neighboring countries that had supported them out of the goodness of his heart.

What the *#*$& are you guys smoking? Let me recommend you try a heavy dose of reality instead. Maybe they will find them, and maybe they won't, but it's pretty clear a bunch of you have already made up your minds about what you'll believe, regardless of evidence.

I am amazed they have convinced themselves the WMD saddam admitted having to the UN that were unaccounted for never existed or simply vanished without a trace.

Could you do that to my debt please?

Let me get this straight. SH admitted to having WMD? And offered no explanation of where they are?

 

[Alistar7]

yes, and neglected to admit to much more stuff that was later found, like mobile bio labs.

is my sarcasm meter really off today, you were joking right, you did know that already?

I know you've mentioned that 12,000 page document more times than I can count (often using it as showing proof that WMD exist...not existed).

I also remember Powell giving a speech saying stuff like "Iraq admits to producing X amount of this, we have concluded that they could have produced X amount more than what they claim..." and more of the same.

I'm not saying you're wrong, Ali, just that it doesn't seem right that he'd say "Yes, we have this WMD."

Could you please give me something to read. I'm bored anyways.

Where is what and why the fsck would you bump a thread this old?

Well where the fsck are they?

You liberals wanted to give the inspectors a minimum of 6 more months of inspections and yet you demand instant answers from our government.

That is too much time. I've raised this issue before. When the Iraqi military surrendered, who was left to prevent those alledged WMDs from falling into the hands of those alleged terroists? If WMDs exist, then there is no one guarding them right now. There's been no one guarding them for the past two months. I'm surprised at those individuals who believe in the WMD and terrorist link as reasons for war but is comfortable with leaving those WMDs unguarded for an extended period.

Alistar7 - In this thread I talk about Powell's speech about Iraq's 12,000 page document where he says stuff like could have, may have, possibly, etc. Is this what you're thinking of when you say SH admitted to WMD?

 

[Alistar7]

I am speaking about the document Saddam submitted to the UN security council, of which only 8,000 pages were released to non permanent members out of 12,000. According to the figures submitted there, there are still thousands of liters of anthrax, and tons of nerve agents still unaccounted for.

I think we all realize they could have produced more, they could have even made more than what they admitted, like the mobile labs they jus forgot to mention, but the WMD that are known to have been made for certain are not all accounted for yet.

I feel like such a dork for not knowing the answers to the following:
If there were WMD that were known to have existed but were unaccounted for, didn't we just ask where they were?
What answer could Iraq have responded to the question with to avoid being attacked? For that matter, what answer did they give?

 

[Alistar7]

Of course they were been asked, it is still being asked, where are they? They said they were destroyed, but offered no evidence, they would not even lead isnpectors to the sites they claimed they were destroyed at, remember, there were over 300 instances of non-compliance on the part of Iraq.

Maybe he did destroy them all just before the war, we should be able to find evdience of that though, maybe he gave them away at the last second. How does this sound, knwoing the US is going to come in, Saddam hands over his WMD to terrorists to get rid off the goods, there you have the US pressuring Saddam into arming terrorists, now was that really our goal here?

 

[Alistar7]

They could have secured the nuclear material that could be used to make a dirty bomb a little better, who cares if Saddam giave it away if we can't stop it from being looted ourselves?

 

[Insane3D]

Not entirely true. The weapons inspectors were testing several sites that Iraq claimed were the areas the weapons were destroyed before they pulled out in advance of the US led attack.
