Hundreds of WMDs found in Iraq

What is your source for this? The unclassified government document that is posted on this board says otherwise.

www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/...classified.pdf

For which part? What I've said spans years; some of the sources have already been posted.

I'm not going to guess which part of the unclassified pdf says "otherwise" - please post what you consider the relevent passage(s) and why.

Well, the ones Bush kicked out prematurely didn't have time to complete their inspections.

Twelve years of evasion and obstruction weren't enough?

Let's see....on one hand we have twelve years of evasion, obstruction and reluctant compliance (and no new forbidden weapons), and renewed inspections and on the other we have a destabilized region, terrorists hordes who weren't there before, thousands upon thousands of deaths & mutilations, a country bombed and its admittedly poor infrastructure wrecked and trillions of dollars spent.

I'll take the first hand.

Are these depleted and used up weapons the same ones that Buch told us could strike the US in 45 minutes (or whatever the time was)?

It's probably the same weapons that we gave them back in the 1980's

Weapons Found In Iraq Old, Unusable

But intelligence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the subject's sensitive nature, said the weapons were produced before the 1991 Gulf War and there is no evidence to date of chemical munitions manufactured since then. They said an assessment of the weapons concluded they are so degraded that they couldn't now be used as designed.

They probably would have been intended for chemical attacks during the Iran-Iraq War, said David Kay, who headed the U.S. weapons-hunting team in Iraq from 2003 until early 2004.

He said experts on Iraq's chemical weapons are in "almost 100 percent agreement" that sarin nerve agent produced from the 1980s would no longer be dangerous.

"It is less toxic than most things that Americans have under their kitchen sink at this point," Kay said.

And any of Iraq's 1980s-era mustard would produce burns, but it is unlikely to be lethal, Kay said.

I didn't say the US had no hand in supporting the Shah in Iran. He was seen as (and was) more stable and less of a loose cannon. As pointed out earlier, the Pahlavi's had ruled since 1921. You speak of the democratically-elected Mossadeg, yet he desolved the legislative body because he had begun losing support there, and attempted to take control of the military. Very democratic. It was a power play and the US supported the Shah....You say that the US government "no longer represents the people". That is odd, since every post of yours indicates you believe we have had a phoney govt almost from the start. But then this is an open forum, you are free to propound your conspiricies till blue in the face.

The whole point is that the CIA used a false flag terror campaign to overthrow another government. Democratic or not what gives them or us the right to have people pose as a fake threat (terrorists) cause trouble and even blow things up (killing innocent people?) to force change in someone elses country?

If they'll so easily do it in another country what's to stop them from doing the same thing here? Because we have laws against it? Har har.

They didn't find them because most of them had been destroyed the first Gulf War and the rest were apparently dumped?

:laugh:

So it's the "dumped" ones we're finding?
Is dumped the same as hidden?

:laugh:

Thanks Daisy. I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard.
