Sick, That is a point that I never considered. There was ample evidence however that they were trying to do more than just keep it around until France builds them another nuclear power plant. Neon duck, Iraq's Hussein did a little more than stockpile WMD. He also funded and hosted Al-Quada ... you know, the group that blew up the trade centers. Remember them? They hijacked planes and flew them into buildings. Remember ... they killed over 3,000 Americans and bombed one of our ships ... remember ....... Reply...
Neon, glad you said that. It just shows who knows their history, and who (you) doesn't. Reply...
Pakistan here we come....North Korea knocking at your door... We are the WMD doomsayer Reply...
Working on and having are two different things. Also back in the 80's he had his reactor blown up by the Israeli's. As I remember correctly this was from his earlier efforts and was not from Africa like claimed in 2003. Reply...
Rugby go back and learn your history. Clinton and his admin had claimed that Iraq had WMD's and the like.
Furthermore, Saddam was giving 25 thousand to suicide bombers families.
Also they had stockpiles of chemical weapons. That have been used in IED's against our troops. BTW thos stockpiles violated the law, and constitute WMD's. Which some of you have so hard a time of understanding.
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=15918
("These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.
The Chemical Weapons Convention is an arms control agreement which outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. It was signed in 1993 and entered into force in 1997.)
What part of that is unclear?
Maybe when you say WMD, you only think nuclear weapons, because then you are right. There were no nuclear weapons in Iraq. There were however WMD's.
Reply...
But per Rubgy, it was worth while because everyone that is there now signed up for it. We didn't need a draft. Reply...
It is a fact that Iraq's Hussein had WMD. Every news agency out there has confirmed this (even the far left fictional 60 minutes). To say that Iraq's Saddam didn't is a wilfull lie about our troops and nothing less than slander. Reply...
All the dems thought he did too.
And there were weapons, we gave them 18 MONTHS to move the WMD;s and they did.
Nolie. Reply...
It began more than six years ago with a lie, followed by another lie, and another lie, and then two more, ten more, a hundred, a thousand, an avalanche of lies from heads of state and hatchet men and well-fed media types more interested in getting the interview than in getting the facts.
It began with lies like this:
"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction."
- Dick Cheney, Vice President Speech to VFW National Convention 8/26/2002
... and this:
"We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."
- Condoleezza Rice, US National Security Adviser CNN Late Edition 9/8/2002
... and this:
"We know for a fact that there are weapons there."
- Ari Fleischer, Press Secretary Press Briefing 1/9/2003
... and this:
"We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more."
- Colin Powell, Secretary of State Remarks to the UN Security Council 2/5/2003
... and this:
"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
- Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense ABC Interview 3/30/2003
It began with George W. Bush standing before both houses of Congress and an international television audience for his January 2003 State of the Union address and stating that Iraq was in possession of 26,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons - which is one million pounds - of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent, 30,000 missiles to deliver the stuff, mobile biological weapons labs, al-Qaeda connections and uranium from Niger for use in a robust nuclear weapons program.
Lies. All lies. 4,321 American soldiers have died in Iraq because of those lies, 101 during this year. Reply...
None of our soldier died in vain. sorry to burst your HateBush bubble...
THANKS TO OUR TROOPS AND GOD BLESS THEM FOR THEIR SACRIFICE. Reply...
No, AQ and Saddam did not support each other. AQ's extreme Islamic ideas represented a threat to Saddam's mostly secular (or at least non-Islamic) dictatorship. The Weakly Standard's claims are false and have been refuted.
The Americans killed in Bush's (now Obama's) Iraq debacle have died for nothing. What shame...
Peace and Semper Fidelis... Reply...
Iraq posed plenty of risk to our assets and allies in the Gulf. Lets not bicker now tho we won. We gave them time to organize and trained their military. So if they fail it is their problem now. Reply...
The US military exists to protect and defend the United States from enemies and threats.
Iraq posed no credible threat to the United States. Reply...
"The Americans harmed and insulted us too much." Reply...
Darn! You mean we gave it all back? I thought the dems told everyone we "took" the countries. :)
They need to be happy, they are now in control of their own lives and safety. I hope they can do it, and I think they will.
They should celebrate, we celebrated our independence. Reply...
You know wha this means, WE WON! Reply...
Fireworks, not bombings, colored the Baghdad skyline late Monday, and thousands attended a party in a park where singers performed patriotic songs. Loudspeakers at police stations and military checkpoints played recordings of similar tunes throughout the day, as Iraqi military vehicles decorated with flowers and national flags patrolled the capital.
"All of us are happy - Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds on this day," Waleed al-Bahadili said as he celebrated at the park. "The Americans harmed and insulted us too much."
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki declared a public holiday and proclaimed June 30 as "National Sovereignty Day." Reply...
Pimpleboy, when Sicko cites a fact, he gets no argument...so far, you haven't found a fact you could cite... Bob Dylan wrote a song about you..The lyrics are "It's a wonder you remember how to breathe" The name of the song is "Idiot Winds" Reply...
