So let me get this straight.

The professor said there was never any WOMD in Iraq.

Then he said there once was some.

But they were only used on the Kurds.

And the UN sanctions solved this potential crisis because Sadam wisely destroyed them all like he was supposed to.

But he kept no clear records and/or proof of the destruction.

Even though the ONLY reason they would destroy them would be to satisfy the UN and US.

And then he kept up the appearence of actually having the same weapons he destroyed.

And he did this.....WHY?

So the US would destroy him and his power?

huh?

Zackly… But you’re just not educated enough to understand it fully, and neither am I…

Never said there were never...I assumed we were talking about now, before the war in the build up.

Yes, I believe that weapons inspections and destruction that took place (yes, it happened...the UN has been there for a dozen years). What evidence is there for your position? None. Simply put, no evidence. Why do you doubt Blix? He was the man in charge. Read what he said recently. Why doubt him?

You guys are obsessed with my education. Give it a rest already. I like debating these issues and all that, but the personal stuff is pretty tiring. Just stick to the topic, ok?

John

Blitz is a dunderhead obsessed with obfuscating his own failure. And yes, the UN, august body that they are has been there for 10 years... What have they accomplished??

Take me and show me all of your WMD or we’ll, we’ll, we’ll ummmmm, ahhhhh ummmmm, JUST TAKE US AND SHOW US OK!!??

Yeauper, that would put the fear of God in me for sure… So if I take a salt shaker and hide in “somewhere” in your local mall, and you go in and start looking for it, but all the people in the mall work for me and know that I don’t want you to find the salt shaker, and you must be “assisted” by my myrmidons, do you think you could find the salt shaker in a year? In 10? In a hundred? No way in hell would you ever find it.

Then exiting the mall after years of research, you could proclaim with pride and authority that you had done your job and that there was perhaps a salt shaker there years ago, but surely I’ve destroyed it because you can’t find any proof that it exists. This is what you're trying to convince us has happened.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. At night I can’t see the sun, but I know it’s still there…

BUT, will the sun come out tomorrow? I stay up real late just to see if it will. I think it's like the fridge light. Is it on all the time or just when I open the door? How do I know? Do I want to know? Are there others that want to know or care?

What about breathing? Ever stop to think about that? I mean what if I stop. Can you make the body stop? What make it continue? Would abortion be called murder then?

As for the WOMD. He has them. Until we can get a little cooperation from the powers that be(or were!) in that country. Everyday citizens are starting to open up and tell soldiers about this and that Kay was on the news talking about this. Until the people of Iraq see that Saddam will be joining his sons, they fear retribution. Imagine living under the tyranny those people had to endure. Where do you put YOUR trust? I can only answer for myself, and know what I'd do, but these people behead people for assisting the "Great Satan".

Hell John, (Professor) the ACLU said the minority voters were not smart enough to use the machines in LA and lost in court! Maybe they agree with Rush on something?

Exerpt; STATEMENT BY DAVID KAY ON THE INTERIM PROGRESS REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE IRAQ SURVEY GROUP (ISG)

BEFORE THE HOUSE PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE, THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, SUBCOMMITTEE ON DEFENSE, AND THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE

October 2, 2003

Let me turn now to chemical weapons (CW). In searching for retained stocks of chemical munitions, ISG has had to contend with the almost unbelievable scale of Iraq's conventional weapons armory, which dwarfs by orders of magnitude the physical size of any conceivable stock of chemical weapons. For example, there are approximately 130 known Iraqi Ammunition Storage Points (ASP), many of which exceed 50 square miles in size and hold an estimated 600,000 tons of artillery shells, rockets, aviation bombs and other ordinance. Of these 130 ASPs, approximately 120 still remain unexamined. As Iraqi practice was not to mark much of their chemical ordinance and to store it at the same ASPs that held conventional rounds, the size of the required search effort is enormous.

How long do you think it would take to clear out a warehouse 50 square miles in size, and at the same time be wearing gear to protect yourself from possible wmd's exposure, Plus working around 600,000 tons of other known Explosives?? they've only completed 10 of the 130 complexes so far!!! and the above link will show whats been found so far...

Enjoy!!!!

the above post was for John and the Others

"--No weapons of mass destruction. Still. Still. Still."

How Long would it take John???

It's very simple for me.

When it comes to Democrats, I reject them.

It's very easy to do and it makes you feel good.

Professor,

It wasn't I who bragged about some statistic regarding my field of endeavor and reading comprehension.

But either way I'm just bustin your chops. Didn't mean to offend so I'll appologize now.

Saw a bumper sticker this weekend...

"Kill babies. Save whales.

Raise taxes. Vote Democratic"

Just one more in a long list of reasons that you are indeed a perfect "10"

If I were a band member of Spinal Tap, you'd be an "11"...
