just some quotes... they tell their own story quite well.
Tesco, true. I doubt that all the nay-sayers will ever be satisfied, and if it is proven that there are WMDs will they apologise? I doubt it.
I would think we all would admit that Saddam SAID he HAD WMDs. Previous inspectors SAID they had them. The Iraqies were very good at hiding things, the chem labs on the trucks were NOT remote baby milk factories.
I don't believe that Saddam destroyed his WMDs, if so, all he had to do was let the U.N. Inspectors back in and he would still be in power.
Bush and Company did tell Saddam thats all he had to do and he would live...NOW
Just as France, Germany and Russia didn't think Bush would follow through with his ultimatium, Saddam (I am sure) was assured that Bush wouldn't follow through either. But supprise, supprise, a politition did what he said. Caught off guard, why would Saddam use his WMDs against a professional army that is prepared for them. Why not take you losses and live another day. Try and move the WMDs out of the country (to Syria more likely) and make the heathens pay.
Turkey screwed us up, if we could have went through Turkey, we might have been able to get troops to the main trails into Syria. Also, I heard that freeze drying these bio-weapons, you can have enough matieral (size of a small envelope) for restarting manufacturing.
In the U.S. if there are no more WMDs are found, the public wont get bent out of shape. We have seen the mass graves, the children that was in prision ect...I am sure many Americans would say that Saddam and his son's were WMDs. The big thing though, we need to find more WMDs for our foreigen "friends". If we don't, then there will be problem.
I say in the next 6 months we will know for sure. Unlike all the anti-Iraq war people, I know that things will not be found overnight. We will, and when we do, I am sure all the media that was against this war will not say a peep. Also, I hope in the next 6 months the new Iraqi goverment will be picking up steam. If I remember correctly, it took over 2 years to get Japans new goverment up to speed. And I would think that there are some similuaries between Imperial Japan and Dictatorship Iraq. So if we couldn't fast track a goverment in Japan, do not expect us to be able to do it in Iraq.
whew, my fingers hurt
