Re: No WMD?? They not only have them, they are now using them!!
Originally posted by PW2:<br /> All you folks did not need any evidence of the WMD's to justify the war the day before yesterday. Why all of a sudden are you all excited now??<br />
We are not only excited. Many of us are gloating over a dead rat. It matters only in that it may instsruct the deployers (my sworn ememy by the way), in just how to use the others they may have to a better effect. They obviously had no clue they had stumbled upon Sadamn's stash of WMD, if they have, and now thanks to the ememy media ,they know exactly what they have, and how to deploy!<br /><br />

And we know who DOES know, don't we?<br /><br />

Yes, and yet, you have no problem with that?<br />I believe there are more.<br />You may believe there are not..So ask yourself a vital series of questions;<br /><br />What if I'm right? <br />What if I am wrong?<br /><br />What if you're right? <br />What if you're wrong?<br />I am for preparing for the worst, and dealing with the actual.How about you?<br /><br /><br />
quote= PW2:<br /><br />The case for the war was that Saddam was a grave and gathering threat (somehow that is different, I guess, from an "imminent" threat) that he had an active program for manufacturing chemical agents in mobile labs (which Powell has said he was mis informed about) and that he was well on his way acquiring Nuclear weapons.<br />
He
was a grave and gathering threat,and his droogies still
are! Check your crystal ball, and tell me how much wmd do they possess. Didn't think so, but now that you are forced to know they are being deployed, what will it take for you to join the side of this conflict that opposes such proliferation,and the defeat of those who do the deeds?<br /> <br /><br />
quote= PW2:<br /><br />One aged shell with what purports to be aged sarin gas, although we are not yet sure...does not make any of the stated argument for the war accurate.
In case your media outlet has again supressed the vital fact that sarin has been
confirmed (so much for purports,huh?),and that it did what it was designed to do, although deployed improperly (thank GOD), I'll give you a pass on that one.<br />One shell of sarin here, one mustard gass weapon there....Would you stake the lives of military and civialiian americans on your bet that this was the last?<br />Now that Saheeb Abdul Yomamma knows what he had/has, he now knows how to better dploy them wih the next "setup"...That would pretty-much empty Bagdad for you.<br /><br /><br />
quote= PW2:<br /><br />As Snapper accurately stated, there are a bunch of countries that have lots more serious WMD's that pose a much larger threat to us then and now. What are we to do about them?
Yes...That makes it all better, don't it? I typed that with a twang of sarcasm in my carpel tunnel, but just one more reason for me to pray to God, and pray for his guidance of our leadership. It's a bigger problem than mortal man can solve. Pandora's box opened with the bio weapons catipulted over the castle walls way back when. We have thier predecessors over there and in syria ,but that seems to be quite allright with Al Jazeeeeeeeera. However,It
aint allright with me.
