[Rbraczyk]

Ok, guess what, they say this, george goes in and finds out they dont' exist, he says they do and he proceedes to start a war with them, and then teh democrats blame them. Your a moron.

You can't expect to find WMD on the first day. There was proof they were there. Besides they meaning the dems above primarily clinton had proof they were there as well, they just didn't have the balls. But I guess you wouldn't probably know that since you weren't in kindergarten yet when Clinton came into office.

These quotes obviously indicate that Clinton was being served with the same defective intellegence that Bush received.

Just because the Democrats said this at that time in no way implies that their current anti - war stand is hypocracy. It just shows that, unlike Bush, they can learn from current events and reach a more rational conclusion.

I don't think you are a moron, Flatrater, but your ability to grasp at any and all anti-Democrat straw implies..........










.......that you must be on the GOP payroll.

[Tehvisseeus]

I'm just wondering what happened to the WMDs since theres no evidence that Saddam destroyed them

please try to talk sense. there are no WMD, and there's been ample time to find them.Bush knew that there were none at the main sites of concern because the UN was there inspecting them.Bush claimed that these weapons could be fired within 45 minutes, yet they vanished without trace when Iraq and her borders were under intense scruutiny.Either Saddam worked a miracle in order to turn over his country to an invading force without leaving any evidence, or they never existed.Given that the man was at least half as bad as Bush claimed,if Saddam had them ,he would have used them.

They never existed.Bush lied.

Try to get it into your head that there were none.

Actually in 1998 he admitted to having chemical and biological weapons. Those are the weapons that I'm refering to because every method of destroying them leaves a residue and none of this residue has been discovered in Iraq

[Jimster]

Most likely a bluff, either way someone didn't do thier job properly somewhere along the line. If they did, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Considering that he had ued WMDs before I highly doubt it was a bluff, and at the time he did not have to worry about attacks if he said he didn't have them

so....the fact that there's no residue been discovered means there's no residue, but the fact that there's no WMD been discovered proves they existed and will eventually be found.Damn,that's clever.

And in case you didn't notice 1998 was a full 5 years before the invasion of Iraq.Bush insisted that there was a clear and present danger,in spite of evidence to the contrary from UN inspectors on the ground at the sites USintelligence deemed to be nost likely to hold evidence.

Saddam had the weapons. He used those weapons. No proof of their destruction has been found. For the slower members of our audience - that means they either left the country or are located some place they'll never be found.

The vaunted (yeah - right) UN passed resolution after resolution for him to give them up. Now either you believe that piece of shit organization or you don't. From the sounds of some - you don't. Remember that the next time you use the UN to justify anything.

Saddam is out. Iraq and the world is better off.

For the benefit of the wilfully ignorant,I'll point you back two posts.

no proof of their destruction has been found,therefore they didn't get destroted
no proof of their existence has been found since Bozo annexed Iraq,therefore they must exist................?That's about as blatant a flip-flop as you could make.

It's crap logic that you are hiding behind and you know it.Bush is a fucking liar,get used to it and elect someone less awful.

[YogsVR4]

Are you suggesting that he never used those weapons on the Kurds or Iranians? Or are you so narrow that you think he used all his stock up on them?

Get some help, you're going to blow a gasket after Bush wins this November.
