Chemical weapons are usually considered WMDs. Everyone (even Iraq) admitts that Iraq had them WMDs; the problem is that no one knows, what happened to them. This is what President Bush said about the imminent threat posed by Iraqi WMDs: "Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option." - State of the Union Address, 2003
re: "What WMD's in Iraq? Are you stretching the definition of that term? Were Saddam's weapons an imminent threat to the USA?"
No, Iraqis are mostly arab. I know a number of Arabs, and except for North Africans, they look white to me. I believe they are considered white as well - tanned maybe, but white. BTW, how many French civilians were killed by allied bombers and artillery?
re: "are not the Iraqi's mostly brown? Am I watching the wrong war on TV? Is their death toll not something like ten times that of the US? Did we not invade them knowing for certain that we would kill thousands of civilians?
Really?"
re: "And speaking of non-white people, the US military has become more and more non-white. Read the names of the dead, and this becomes evident." |
