how many more WMD's are buried in the desert?

If WMD shells buried and leaking in sand for 10 years counts for 'having'......
After 10 years in sand, iraqis would been probably as scared as allies on the receiving end, to dig those up... let alone transporting and using

Anyway.. let's wait for the news of the usable WMD arsenals or more recent WMD projects.

To make right for the war (for what it was hyped to be for) with something buried for 10 years and seemingly rendered into condition as dangerous to user as to target, would only go as far as an excuse

where those the same shells that could land in london in 45 minutes ?

They found TRACES of weapons on them - hence they were disposed off, in compliance with UN it would appear. So you're voiding your own argument.

If they were buried in plastic,they were being saved.It will be interesting to see if and how many more are discovered.

Blister agents are WWI stuff. They are only a nuisance (albeit a painful one) unless inhaled, and even then they are treatable. This isnt the same as anthrax, sarin, ricin or the mushroom cloud that Bush warned us about.

Your argument is not supported by your evidence Hortlund. Dont you think that if the Bush admin thought they could make some traction out of this, they would yell it from every rooftop?

The fact is that the WMD inspection team has pulled out of Iraq. Bush sold the war on the Imminent threat of Saddam with WMDs. He lied. Anyone with their brain engaged can see that.

The presence of WMDs in Iraq as justification for the most recent war were simply a means to an end. They didnt have to be there, it really didnt matter anyway...hussein was a sunuvabich whos time had come.

I think the WMD threat had two values.

First value was the obvious one. Hussein had them in the past, used them in the past and could very well be prepared to have them and use them again. The evidence, however flawed, "seemed" to suggest this as a likely scenario.

Second value was the silencing effect it had on war critics (aka liberals, peace at ALL costs types...sometimes referred to as morons). Although it didnt silence them it made them look like fools and it probably was a genuine effect.

All being said and done, using WMDs as a tool to justify war was a valid tactic and employed to great success.

Okay, so if that's the case, I say let's give up.

Did I say that?

No.

What did Osama say could end his wrath? Our conversion to Islam. I'm just taking your advice as to the futility of fighting.

Also, I thought you were backing out of this thread....

The futility of fighting? fight the right battles... Kill the crazy ones thats all you can do...

Terrorism will always be here, as i said before : As long as there are people with mental problems, payback desire and a death wish theres always gonna be terrorism.

It doesent matter if the mad mans name is Osama or Mcveigh. Its still crazy ****ers who neads to be dealt with. Blaming it on religion is a very unvise move.

You had better want more done than you suggest. In an age of nuclear weapons portable in the trunks of cars, these people can do a horrific amount of damage to western civilization. The attacks on 9/11 were pinsalamanders compared to what would happen if a nuclear device were detonated in Manhatten, London, Hamburg, Moscow, Singapore.....

Agreed.

You need to find and kill Osama, im baffled that this was not priority number one...
