Must be. Our best intel resources and tons of precision munitions dedicated to their demise couldn't do the job. Should have jobbed out to an Israeli chopper with a few rockets. Plant the baddies on the spot with just a few innocents. Might have worked on Bin Laden also.

Yep. An entire 90 days as of today.

10Bears, name the Ronald McDonald house you'd like the $45 sent to and how you want it verified.

Or I can give it to the local one here and send you a receipt.

Whatever you like.


Nash, we'll see. As Yogi said, "it ain't over 'til it's over".

I remain of the opinion that 90 days isn't all that much time.

don't those greasy greavy-covered fries in Canada count as WMD's ?

You might have been willing. The Bush administration was not. I find it odd that they would not allow Blix the time to conduct the inspections, but now bleat about needing more time.

Did the inspectors have control of the entire country with hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground? ;)

They are in a lot better position than a few hundred inspectors under the scrutiny of a police state to discover weapons.

Hey Dowding,

If I were given.... say.... 100 semi-trailers full of crates and given six months to hide them anywhere in the state of California with full governmental cooperation unlimited funding and total secrecy (breaches punished by death)......

How long do you think it would take you and any 200,000 folks you coose to find the crates?

:)

One caveat... you have to hide it and make it an imminent threat at the same time...

Bush gave 50 diff. speeches talking about WMD's

After offering substantive rewards including amnesty from prosecution to former, high ranking members of that government and common soldiers and scientists for information as to the crate's whereabouts, backed up by an extensive intelligence service that has information from agents that were in the country prior to the 'treasure hunt' starting?

I'd say about 6 months tops and that's being generous. My plan of action would be a little more in depth that a couple of guys with a metal detectors and a book of popular phrases such as "Have you seen any nasty chemicals around here recently?" :)

And let's not forget what the 'swingometer of plausibility' showed before and after the conflict; the sources showing indisputable evidence that Iraq had weaponized WMD ready to go in 45 minutes now suddenly dissappeared with end of the war.

You've got to admit these are interesting times - I wonder how history will record the current events?
