It would be a serious blunder if we didn't find jack sh!t over there after all the "sand" clears


You are EXACTLY right, man; it's been a month now, and still we haven't got anything to show for it. And special forces were in Iraq before that; they could have scoped SOMETHING out, and pointed the world's attention to it just before, or after the war started.

The Bush regime just raped a country based upon the ever-elusive WMD mantra, yet now saying that well the Iraqi's needed to be free so WMDs don't really matter as much. That's circumvention of the issue, and pure baloney.

We have every right to have expected that SOMETHING, ANYTHING, be found by now; yet the well has come up dry.

I had a dream last night that because Iraq was clean, the UN condemned George Bush to allow Saddam to come back into his country and power, and GWB was forced to foot the entire bill for reconstruction of Iraq.

Heh heh...wouldn't THAT be Justice served!

Amen, why can't people just grow balls and admit what this neo-conservative led war was really all about: Oil and Isreal. $hit, try and convince me that Ariel "Man of Peace" Sharon didn't egg this on or is not egging on the current anti-Syria biz. Or Cock Chaney and his Haliburton buddies...

and don't forget an illegitimate President trying to legitimize himself by using brute force, with the added benefit of being less responsible for the economy since he's too "busy" with weapons of mass destruction--which the Bush Regime is just one big Weapon of Mass Destruction, as these past 2 years have shown.

C'mon, guys... give the US time to find them. I mean, look at how much time they gave the UN.

I guess it is fortunately we didn't accuse Saddam of having a suitcase nuke. Someone could be carting it out of the country this very moment because we taking our time to find it. The UN had the luxury of time because at least Saddam kept tabs on his WMDs. We don't have that luxury because it seems to me that no one is controlling them right now and they for the taking of whoever finds them first whether they be a innocent civilian or someone with more grandiose plans. The moment we severed Saddam's control of his WMDs is the moment the clock started ticking for us to find them.

In response to the thread title, I concur. Where are they? Bush better find them fast while his ratings are high. This drags out without a defining reason to justify the campaign he rode in on will embarass the US, draw the ire of not only the Muslum world but the rest of the world as well. I believe he did the right thing liberating the Iraqi's from Saddam, but he entered this war with the chief thundering war cry of WMD'S gotta Go. It will be very bad if the money spent and lives lost where dwindled to just be the revenge of the failed attempt to asasinate Bush Sr.

I think (I hope) that our troops will be able to find what Ritter and Blix did not, but as days go on, I too worry for my country and what we are seen as. The shine of the victory over the republican guard will fade quickly and the dinge of accusitory advasaries will cloud the true picture of our very well meaning purpose and resolve. It is beginning now with Syria and our cutting off an oil pipline to that country that WE don't even own. WTF is up with that? I don't even think that is legal. But we did it. Daaamn!:Q

Whether it is legal or not depends on whether that export of oil is in accordance or against UN sanctions.

Hmm. All you conspiracy theorists barely have an ulterior reason for GWB's desire to reform the Middle East at the cost of using manufactured evidence. Invading Iraq with a smoking gun is assured political suicide for him. To have balls of a bull to fabricate just doesn't sound remotely plausible for this president. He's getting fed with intelligence, reports and data by the hawks - and makes his decisions based on such. Remember, he didn't make this decision on his own.

though, if Nixon-Nam-Cambodia-Chile history was reviewed, I'd be eyeing the *real* hawks surrounding him, especially Wolfowitz. Now if you theorists built the theories around his hawks, that'll be refreshing to see.

Edit: BTW - where is famous 12000-page report??

It was the stupidest thing to do, why on earth did that happen? Illegal, yes it was, another argument for the "war for oil" crowd, indeed...

What is sad is that US are beginning to prove their biggest antagonists right... Sad indeed...

And do you think that US media is unbiased? You think you get fair and unbiased reporting from Fox News for example?

If you want to read more intelligent comments from Alistar7, look no further than in my sig.

All of the news channels are picking up on the "Where the hell are the Weapons of Mass Destruction?" idea.

They're all saying that if none are found soon, there'll be hell to pay during reelection

I have no doubt there will be hell to pay if none are found, but why dont you give them a few weeks for the shooting to stop.

People are getting impatient because Powell was showing alleged factories and other buildings where chemical weapons were produced. Whole buildings just don't move, especially buildings that have chemical weapons. Iraq probably doesn't have anything.

Where the hell are the Weapons of Mass Destruction???
They are with Bin Laden in a dark hole at Guantanamo Bay, waiting to be revealed in November 2004. Score one for Bush! :)

Except the fact remains Finalnd has sold PLENTY of precursor chemicals to ME countires, some of which is being used for WMD. Keep denying the facts though.

Whats your take on the Al-Queeda meetings and the WMD found? Looks like maybe you were the one completely wrong on about every issue in this conflict, doesnt suprise me you don't even know the role of your own country. I notice you havent bothered to post lately, why is that? You never had a problem spewing your opinion before?

American media gave the rest of the world more truth from this war than any nation has in history, by planting reporters directly with the troops on the front lines. I still would like anyone to show me ANYTHING that happened that was NOT reported at length by US media.

And yes this had been fun, watching all the opposers scream like fools and call me ignorant, while day by day their delusions just couldnt stand the reality that was unfolding, and they left without a whisper from the shame of their ignorance and naivete...

I guess Saddam did not leave them on the street corner with a big sign, "Get your WDM here!"

Whats up with this impatience? How long do you suppose it would take to search every gully in California, with only a few thousand people looking? Oh, yeah, somebody else might be shooting at you, Oh, yeah, get the water and the electricity going, oh, yeah protect the Iraqi national treasures from the Iraqi's.

Get real this is a big job, it won't happen over night.

Count on it.

The IMPORTANT thing to remember is that our Administration IS treating this War as a movie. ;)
(haven't you noticed?; complete with "join the army" commercials)

I have no doubt that if nothing is found something will get planted.
