WMD: some facts
Edited on Fri Jan-09-04 07:00 PM by BeFree
--The Whitehouse's, Iraqi WMD Program, was nothing more than another political gassing of the People.

--SH wasn't quite as bad, or as dangerous, as we were led to believe, otherwise our invasion forces would have been gassed. If he was as evil as was potrayed wouldn't he, at the very least, have used his weapons on an invading force?

--The UN, AFTER dismantling the Iraqi weapon programs in the early 90's, then, as now, hold that Iraq had no stockpiles of WMD. Yet the Whitehouse never acknowledged the UN's work and even tried to lie about the UN's findings.

4. That's odd.
Because I specifically remember him letting inspectors in. And showing them where they had destroyed all of the weapons the US gave them, and the inspectors saying that 'yes, this probably accounts for all of it'"

So why would Bush blatantly lie about WMD?

6. the forever-shifting reasons for invasion......
so now it's about UN Resolutions?

This crowd in Washington hates the UN, remember?

While were at the issue of UN Resolutions, why don't we invade Israel since they are in violation of UN Resolutions also? Why not inspect their WMD's?

SH was contained for 12 years by UN Sanctions and US/UK NO-Fly Zones and the WMD's that were the purported reason for invading are no-where to be found (because they were already destroyed by UN Inspections)
