....liberals just love their lawyers, thinks we shouldn't make a move without their advise. Gots to keep them well funded so they can make the big donations to the Democrat party. Reply...
Well OK, You can say truthfully, that Saddam supported terrorism. Several articles indicate that the sent money to finance terrorist training camps... BLMccAR would have you believe that those camps were in Iraq...prevailing opinion has it that those camps were NOT in Iraq.. Even if those used bio weapons were classified as WMDs, as you note, they're not what the administration meant during it's campaign for the run up to the invasion..I grant that your'e correct there. At the bottom line, 1. Iraq, prior to the invasion, was rather benign, being run by a bellicose madman 2. While it was not a threat to the USA, Saddam was his own worst enemy, and Cheney's office of special projects took full advantage of that, to make him look like an OGRE... (as if OGRE season was open at the time.) and if it was, why didn't we push it at Tora Bora, or rein in Bashir...(Blackhawk Down) SO...it's not difficult to reach the conclusion that Bush wanted to pick it up where his dad left off Bush was after embellishing his legacy, as he'd never succeeded in anything at any time during his life (I Hope you say the movie W) Cheney was, and remains a madman Rummy too, but in an entirely different way. Rummy actually thought history would paint him as a kindly old man... Bush and Cheney were a "perfect storm" and Rove put it all together It's an interesting piece of American history, if America survives it.. but hopefully, despite S.G, Jack, Blmccar and others, it will. It'll take some time, but common decency of America will prevail, after we get rid of the detritus left by the previous administration...many of whom continue to post right here. We're still circling the drain, but the stopper has been put in place... Reply...

In Article: Saddam SpeaksNo I am not grasping at straws I am ust saying you cannot say that there were not WMD's there, just like you can't say there weren't terrorists. There just wasn't the WMD's and terrorists we were after. Reply...
I don't disagree with you on several of the points you've made. Previous policy toward N Korea could have, and should have, been more effective. Enforcement of sanctions would certainly have helped. But we're here , and it's now. Monday Morning quarterbacking would be fun over a few beers, but we've got a more serious problem on our hands, should N Korea manage to get Nuke technology into the hands of those (well financed) groups that would pay dearly for it. Oh Yeah.. That verse was from the U.S. Blues, by the Grateful Dead Reply...
I did read most of what you posted....but.....I didn't stop there.. Thus I conclude that though they classified those remanants as WMD,s You're still grasping at straws.. As far as Who KNows is concerned, He made an absolutely incoherent statement...but that's typical of someone like him, who'se IQ doesn't reach room temperature.. Clinton attacked Saddam over WMDs.. How irrelevant can you get little man? Nobody denies that he had bio weapns in the 80s, and used them too..so what's your point? Propaganda? Cheney had an entire government department dedicated to propaganda supporting his insane desire for war... and people like you still cling to his lies... Google Office of Special projects.. It won't de program you...nothing can do that....but you might learn something...though I doubt it. Reply...

In Article: Saddam SpeaksWell maybe you should educate yourself on CWC then. It constitutes WMD's, just not the ones we went for. Did you read the OPCW report from this year that I posted?
Reply...
If you go back and re-read my statements on Iraq, I believe that we could have solved the problems by enforcing sanctions we already had in place. Still they posed no immediate danger to America proper. They did to our allies and assests however. I also think the strategy we went in with was flawed. It was only set up to take down a gov't not set one up. Which is why it prolonged because there was no immediate power exchange. If you can't find those from previous discussions you have them now. My arguements about terrorists and WMD's are meerily made because of broad generalized statements. I want to point the fallacy, and in such prove a point. I agree we could have all together skipped the war and even had run it better. Especially considering the fact we should have had our focus on Afghanistan.
North Korea is a threat, but only in the short term, like I have said. I don't believe that they will nuke us, but it does show weakness when you let them do whatever they want. You don't let you kid get away with stuff without punishment. As their bad behavior escalates so does your punishment. This is more of show of force do the transistion inside the country.
So my cup is always half full, and Rye, Happy Fourth to you too. Reply...
N.Korea has had nukes for quite some time..and You've been aware of it. We're on the case..and we have been for as long as they've had them In fact the threat posed by N. Korea is not so much that they'd use them...a picture one gets from reading all these posts, but that they might sell them. And that"s the reason for the sanction, and for the recent confrontation between the US and N Korea re; that ship bound for Myanamar... Nevertheless, Sicko, after reading your take on this issue, and your take on the WMD issue, the picture you paint of the world is a whole lot more negative than reality dictates... i.e. the ineffective biological remanents or 80s biological weapons, the imminent threat of Nukes from N. Korea... The glass is always half empty with you Sicko....Roll yourself a fatty, pour yourself a cold one, and sit back and enjoy the holiday week end... Reply...
There was quite a stink raised when they found remanents of weapons, produced in the early 80s, containing traces of sarin and mustard gas, and got a Colonel (Chu) to say that these qualified as weapons of mass destruction, despite the fact that they were no longer effective... but it's hard to believe that you'd base your claim that Saddam had wmds on this... However, it's consistant with a claim made by someone who just cannot give up that claim...for reasons I've mentioned before... Reply...
WUW, explain to us why California is giving out IOUs and whining about not being able to pay teachers & firefighters while at the same time spending about $7 million of taxpayer money for a monkeyless zoo exhibit??? Bottom line is, Obamas plan isn't working. But, tell us more about why we should listen to somone from California explaining how North Dakota (the only debt free state), how we're doing everything wrong.

In Article: Saddam SpeaksSo the DoD is lying? I never claimed AQ either, but there were terrorists inside Iraq, pal. Abu Ibrahim, he attacked a Pan-AM flight, his real name is Husayn al-Umari
http://www.cleveland.com/world/index.ssf/2009/04/finding_frankenstein_terrorist.html
Claiming Iraq had no terrorists pre-war is like saying, you have a million dollars simply because you say so.
I will rank you in with the rank in file 9/11 truthers then Rye, if you are sitting here telling me that the DoD is making up that they found chemical munitions.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/22/AR2006062201839.html
Which is basically a rehash of the first story which is directly from the DoD. They are covered under the Chemical Weapons Convention. While they themselves may have posed no threat to us there. They are still Chemical Weapons that are banned by the CWC. Which makes them WMD's Reply...

I did not and am not saying he had or did not have wmd. In fact I think he did at one time but probably did get rid of most of them before the war began. I am just saying that to beleive what a man who killed or allowed the killing of so many people, and that has been proven, word does not hold much crediblility with me. Do you not think he wanted his "legacy" to look better after he was hung and gone? I think he would. You know my posts well enough by now to know I do not think Bush was such a great pres. However, you also know I don't think this one is a peach either. Do you really beleive what Saddam said and that he was an above board honest talker? Or am I missing your point? Reply...
People in cults are cooperators in their own programming.
"Coercive persuasion" is a term that more aptly describes the cult indoctrination method. The cult offers something attractive or desirable to the individual, and the individual decides to suspend normal critical judgment in this area in order to obtain this "carrot" representing the fulfillment of their desire. Because this process involves mutual and willing cooperation, and the victim views all decisions as their own, it is a more binding form of mind control that is harder to undo. They wanted to believe it, it fulfills a "need," and it is "their decision." The only effective way to undo this form of programming is to review the indoctrination process with the individual, forcing a reexamination of the cult. Hopefully, something greater (i.e., Reality) is seen as a replacement for the cult involvement. Reply...
Here are several articles..debunking the WMD lie..many refer to that 03 incident you refer to... but there's no sense trying to de program those who cling to the delusions propounded by the "Office of Special Projects", Cheney's government agency, tasked with creating a cult of obedience... they did such a good job, that there remain several of the posters on this list. By now, they have too much of themselves tied up in these debunked propositions, and cannot cope with the reality that they're wrong. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7634313/ CIA's final report: No WMD found in Iraq - Conflict in Iraq- msnbc.com Lacking Biolabs, Trailers Carried Case for War On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a ...
