Blair in doubt...

[Bungi]

Tony Blair admitted yesterday that he did not know whether weapons of mass destruction would be found in Iraq.

The wheels are definitely starting to fall off, aren't they.

So... I guess we dust off Saddam and give it back to him?

Not the point, and I think you know it.

Done is done, the question is accountability for questionable actions.

 

[unclehobart]

oh piffle paffle ... the accountability, ethical, and questional threshold was pushed off of a three story building ages ago. To me, everything has been a sham ever since the Magna Carta.

I'll be more than happy to join your parade just as soon as you answer me a few questions:

1)Did Saddam Hussein use NBC's in it's war with Iran?

If so-he had them.

2)Did Saddam Hussein use NBC's in it's war with Kuwait?

If so-he had them.

3)Did Saddam Hussein sign a treaty giving the United Nations full, unfetterred access to his country until such a time as the UN deemed appropriate?

4)if yes to #4, did part of that mandate require Saddam Hussein to make available & allow the UN to destroy any weapons on a list? How about destroy said weapons, in country (so to speak) & provide proof they were destroyed? Did Saddam Hussein follow this (or any of the subsequent) mandate(s)?

and finally;

5)Where are the weapons NOW?

2)Did Saddam Hussein use NBC's in it's war with Kuwait?

If so-he had them.

So... by your reasoning...

3)Did Saddam Hussein use NBC's in the Iraq war?

If not so-he did not have them.

5)Where are the weapons NOW?

Either used, destroyed or buried long ago, leaking inside plastic bags, and forgotten about.

It Gets Better and Better and Better!

The wheels are really falling off the Bush war-wagon now:

Former US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said he never saw any evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

"In the 23 months I was there, I never saw anything that I would characterise as evidence of weapons of mass destruction," O'Neill said. "There were allegations and assertions by people.

"But I've been around a hell of a long time, and I know the difference between evidence and assertions and illusions or allusions and conclusions that one could draw from a set of assumptions," he said.

This O'Neill fellow is proving quite useful don't you think Gonzo?

Hard to disagree but you'll excuse me if I get offended when the pres sends American troops to die for personal reasons and whine about it?

Holy shit Bungi, I thought I was dense these days. YOu missed this part

4)if yes to #4, did part of that mandate require Saddam Hussein to make available & allow the UN to destroy any weapons on a list? How about destroy said weapons, in country (so to speak) & provide proof they were destroyed? Did Saddam Hussein follow this (or any of the subsequent) mandate(s)?

BTW, I watched part of the 60 Minutes program last night. O'Neil looked & sounded completely idiotic (the words of my Bush hating sis-in-law)
