john doe Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Interesting how the lefties like to spin things. Seems the report they are pointing to does admit no weapons were found, but not for lack of trying. Read this . How come nobody wants to talk about this part of the report? the report makes it plain that George W. Bush had good reason to go to war in Iraq and end the regime of Saddam Hussein.First of all, Saddam retained the capability to manufacture weapons of mass destruction. On chemical weapons, "Saddam sought to sustain the requisite knowledge base to restart the program Saddam did not abandon his nuclear ambitions. . . . Those around Saddam seemed quite convinced that once sanctions were ended, and all other things being equal, Saddam would renew his efforts in this field." Moreover, Duelfer concluded that Saddam in his missile program was developing missiles that exceeded the range limits set in U.N. Security Council Resolution 687.One Iraqi chemical weapons expert said it would require only a few days to develop mustard gas. Former Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz said that Iraq could have had a WMD capacity within two years after the end of sanctions.Hmmm, looks like the lefties got this one wrong, too.

Outshined Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I've been reading part of this report, which is around 1000 pages. You can read it HERE. I've printed part of it to study, but doubt I'll hard-copy all of it. Seems the President wasn't so far off after all...but I knew that.

Guest Unorthodox Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 We invaded Iraq because Saddam ignored us. Not because of evidence that he had WMDs at the time.I hope Iran ignores us too, because if they see us looking their way after what we did to Iraq, they will probably just use their nukes on us.Iraq could have had a WMD capacity within two years after the end of sanctions.Two years? I guess we could have spent a few more months looking for those WMDs before going to war, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Saddam did anything but ignore us. The US was one of the predominant subjects of his plans. Read the report, for example... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to spend some time filling them in with something more interesting....no one was responding, and I doubt it was because they agreed with me.Happy Election Day.
