misheldo re: ["I fully understand how evil Hussein is, but all of a sudden the US has gone from innocent until proven guilty to guilty until innocent when it comes to the issue of WMDs."]
...you obviously do NOT understand - how EVIL Saddam Hussein is.
Hopefully you are watching Condolesa Rice on "Meet the Press" live, as I type this ...
Saddam is already GUILTY for failing to comply with 16 prior/existing UN Resolutions...primarially UN Resolution # 1441.
Saddam's own Son-in-Law upon his defection provided US Intelligence with evidence of Saddam's Bio-Weapons Program - for which the Iraqi's ADMITTED existed.
The Botulism, VX Gas, Seren Gas & Anthrax that Saddam has massively produced - has STILL not been accounted for by Saddam as per UN Res.#1441.
Hans Blix's inspection Team and anything they do, or don't do; anything they find, or don't find - has nothing to do with Saddams present violations of 16 prior UN Resolutions.
There is no debate of Saddam's mind boggling production levels of VX, Seren, Anthrax & Botulism.
Saddam has failed to show where these WMD's have been destroyed, or disposed of.
There is Multi-Sourced International Intelligence, as well as internal Iraqi sourced Intelligence verifying the existance of Mobile-Bio Labs in Iraq. Saddam has failed to acknowledge these as well.
The Aluminum Tubes manufactured to tolerances exceeding anything other than Nuclear use...is also an issue beyond debate.
The US can never turn over ALL of it's Intelligence Information - obviously that would end the ongoing source of internal intelligence coming from within Iraq.
Multiple International Sources - including the German Intelligence Services are on record about Saddam aggressively seeking the final completeion stage of his Nuclear Program.
We can not allow someone who has already used WMD's upon his neighbors and his own people, someone who is on record for already threatening to use them against America; to complete this final stage of completing his Nuclear Weapons Program.
Saddam also now is in possession of missles whose Range also fail to comply with existing UN Resolutions.
We can not wait untill AFTER Saddam has invaded the next Kuwait, or Iran; or sent Bio,or Nuclear laden Scud's into Israel again.
The technology of the weapons that Saddam now posseses and his ongoing threats can no longer be ignored.
We learned from WW II that we can NEVER AGAIN, wait untill AFTER the next HITLER unleashes EVIL upon the world...
Technology has now raised the ante on the necessity of pre-emption...to prevent this century's next "NEVER AGAIN"...
- and that is exactly what America is going to do; once again leading the Free World in eliminating the Global Threat of EVIL. |
