Weapons of Mass Destruction

Simply, even if saddam had no WMD's, he was breaking the multiple resolutions (formed from the UN thinking he had WMDs). He had scientists working on programs, he never proved he didn't have them, he threatened he had them, he's been know to use them....whatever, he's out of power & nothing can change the past.

Don't like our method, then you take over policing the world.(if you're American, move to Canada).

I was after something far different than old reruns of the same arguments.

Not only CIA or FBI...we're talking about MI5 & France and Germany's secret police. Australia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Syrian, Brazil...the entire world knew he had them so where are they or how did some tinpot completely fool the entire world?
 
considering the govts. and Bush. Id say........ tinpot :p



















ok all kidding aside i think if he had them he had them shipped to an allied country. or destroyed them.
 
The resolutions demended he prove he destroyed them. He provided no such proof.

Then we would have been justified in pressuring the UN to take more definitive action, nothing more.

he was asked to provide the proof he destroyed them? I thought we were there as well as the UN to look for said proof? :confuse3: I am confused
 
The UN resolutions called for, among other things, that he provide proof of destroying them if that's what they did.

The US & now the US was there verifying that he had actual weapons. They would have accepted proof of their destruction had it been presented.
 
Freako, he was supposed to give access to the weapons inspectors. He did it with ill grace and dragging his feet. We invaded.
 
It seems there's too much beurocracy (sp?) in the UN - ie - they will keep dragging their feet delaying action for as long as possible, and then do it a little longer.

anything involving govts of any kind will be bueraucratic.






I dont knwo if he would have but he did use the 9/11 as the excuse to invade. if it never happened do you think this war would have? I think it might but not as quickly as it did.
 
its possible but they may again have had some excuse for it somehow. but the fact is he did use it which was what made me post that question. personally I disagree i think more than likely it would have happened regardless of whether or not we got Osama or if 9/11 was just another day in 2001.

Sorry, from the moment Dubya was elected, war with Iraq was inevitable. Whether or not Osama had been (or has been) caught.

Hell, whether or not 9/11 had happened.

i think it was luis who reminded me of an article back when bush was elected saying he would be going for saddam hussein. i don't think there is much question that once the pressure was on hussein there was only one way it would end.

i am not so convinced that there was a concerted government intention to mislead and fabricate intelligence to make a case for war. it is concerning at how when hans blix makes statements from the ground that now appear to be increasingly accurate he was debunked so vehemently.

the intel was certainly wrong, and not just small bits, we are talking about huge chunks of stuff deemed strong enough to present to the un with little identifying stickers. the quality of intelligence is certainly in question.
