WMDs Then and Now
I don't understand. Just for a moment pretend that the WMDs do in fact exist and are well hidden. At the same time you may assume that at least some, and more likely the majority, of the people who are now resisting our presense in Iraq are the same people who in fact hid the WMDs, while in the service of Sadam. If in fact those two things were true, which we are being told to believe is the case, then why aren't the WMDs being used against our troops in Iraq right this minute? For all the great harm that has been done to our troops before the declairation of success at least nothing that could be called a WMD has been used on them.

1. you are making a VERY SERIOUS mistake with regard to WMD
you are using your brain and trying to think logically about them. I believe the word for that is "un-American"

:evilgrin:

and remember that 69% of Merikans believe WMD were in fact used, thanks to FOX :crazy:

2. WMD long since gone.
No Wmd exist in Iraq. They can't use what they don't have, so I can't pretend otherwise.

3. Welcome Holly
You are correct -- long since gone. Circa 1992.

5. Oh, those weapons that they didn't use to defend themselves against the US
invasion are in Syria, don't you that? Doesn't it make sense to you? Instead of defending themselves with the weapons, they moved them into Syria because Saddam wanted to keep them in a safe place after he and remnants of the Iraq Army defeated the most powerful military force known to man. Makes perfect sense to me...

6. Not only not used now,
But also not used in the war when we storm trooped towards Baghdad. Obviously on this self evident rationale, There were never any WMD.

7. yup
they'd have us believe that "furrin terrists" are being aided by Saddam loyalists in using weapons from Iraqi arms dumps to attack us.

Why wouldn't they be using ultimate terror weapons like biochem agents?

But you forget . . . the Invasion was to free the Iraqi people from a brutal dictator and to open a new front in the war on terror and to get all the "terrists" to attack us there instead of in the US. Remember?
