Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Thanks for the info, but here's the response to the three myths.
Myth 1
Yes most of the weapons are russian, etc. BUT the one percent the U.S sold him are the WMD of mass distraction we can't find.
Myth 2
This guy is plain wrong (unless he gets insider information). From the news sources I've read the most loyal followers are the Fedayin(too lazy too look up spelling) evil true, but not Islamist. The foreign fighters the U.S. has caught are Pan-Arab nationalists not Islamists.
They did get a "training camp" in western Iraq, but it was in an enclave similar to the kurdish one and in the no fly zone - so we could have bombed it out of existance. They were evil too AND also anti-Saddam.
Myth 3
Yes they are under different chapters BUT there is majority support to make them binding except the U.S. would veto them. So the resolutions were passed outside of the sec. council in the general session and a huge majority did vote for them.
The will of the international community counts - when we want it to count.
