Right. Pre-GWI. He also sent planes across the border pre GWI invasion. So what.

Not that this is actually proof of anything, but one of my very good friends who did two tours in Iraq told me an interesting story.
He was part of the invading force and he said that shortly after the invasion he was visiting with some Iraqi villagers. The villagers told me that a few days before the invasion, Iraqi helicopters kept dropping all kinds of crates and barrels into a really deep lake near the village. They told him that they were doing it for a couple days straight. Quote:

I'm not saying he did, I'm just saying it's possible. Frank

No, this was GWII...
If he can bury several 35 ton aircraft, each nearly 25 m long, burying a few hundred barrels of WMD in a country the size of the SE US is childsplay. Last edited by Judge : 03-17-2008 at 03:26 PM. |

Here is my central problem. Pre 9/11, there is no way the American public would have agreed to invading Iraq to remove Saddam. Post 9/11 the case was made that the situation has changed. That Saddam was actively perusing WMDs and had a program in place. That he had active ties to AQ, although no ties to 9/11, and that he was actively sponsoring and promoting Global terrorism against the U.S. And that he was going to put these WMDs in the hands of terrorist that would use them against the U.S. The evidence to this date after exhaustive investigation has turned up nothing to support such assertions. The point being is that Saddam post 9/11 was no more of a threat to the U.S. than he was pre 9/11. My problem is that there is a real threat to the U.S. from terrorist organization. Iraq has distracted us and diverted resources from that real threat. If securing the U.S. from terrorism is the primary reason, then there are other way to better accomplish that than Iraq. What securing Iraq does for us is secure oil. My problem with all that is cast doubt on the ability of our leadership to effectively manage this threat. It cast doubt as to the true reasons for what we are doing. It casts doubt on our intelligence we base wars on especially since the same was said about Iran's nuclear program only to be found out to be inactive for 3 years. We are also building a case to invade Iran. That is my problem.

The main reason we are having problems sqashing aq in the mountain regions is because we don't have enough balls to say "FU pakistan" and invade the tribal regions (with special ops) despite their objections. Most seem to agree that is where bin laden is hiding. If we think we know where he is, we should either send someone in or blow the place up. Sorry for the drifting there... Quote:

As most everyone here knows my position on this subject, I'll just say .....
That I don't care what anyone thinks of me. I stopped caring about those who would label me a America Hating individual. I stopped caring about those who would imply that I am a traitor and equated me to Benedict Arnold and Robert Hanssen just because I was born in America and happened to be proud enough to say so. If you don't like that I don't care, to bad! As for this entire thread and those who want to call other people names and imply that they are somehow better than others because you can walk the moral highground that no one else can reach ...... You are a joke to humanity, if you fit the category. For everyone else, I'll just repeat my last post on this subject. Quote:

One thing that is good is that if Saddam buried them, or threw them in a lake that is good. We went to war for those WMDs and they have been taken out of circulation. Bush will take a hit, but the world is better off. Yeah. If they are in Syria as everyone seems to know, then we need to invade Syria for the same reasons we invaded Iraq.
