Re: "Do you think that Saddam is the only possible source of WMD for terrorists?" Why would I? Of course not. RE: "What is Iraq? The Walmart of WMD?" Well, as a supplier for terrorists the notion isn't ludicrous at all. Given that we know the Guardian rag, for instance, stated back in '99 that it was too bad Saddam was developing a relationship with Al Qaeda, I'd have to say there has long been decent reason to believe it could happen. Re: "Do you know what your neighbor has in his garage? Timothy McVeigh didn't need to cavort with Saddam to make his bomb." I think I'll be happy to trust my neighbor before Saddam, thank-you. LOL. Timothy McVeigh? Good lord, are you unaware of the book which has come out concerning CIA evidence (as I recall) that McVeigh indeed flew to S. America somewhere (as I recall) and met with Iraqi intelligence and/or Al Qaeda agents, and that they helped him perfect for delivery the same sort of fertilizer bomb which hit the WTC in '92? Re: "You're shitting me!" I think not. Re: "I missed that story (about large oddly hidden fertilizer storage discovered in Iraq). Newsmax?" As one who watched a heck of a lot of the initial war I can tell you I saw it on numerous networks from CNN to FOX. Re: "It's not the media's job to put 2 and 2 together...that's the CIA's job." Frankly, of COURSE it's the media's proper job. It should be the media's job. Ever hear of investigative reporting? What the heck kind of loose thinking were you doing when you wrote that? Nixon never would have been busted for Watergate but for the media putting 2 & 2 together, LOL. Need I go on? Re: "The Iraqis were looting anything of value. If it wasn't nailed down it was fair game." That's one explanation, which doesn't go to the fact that the trailers amount to a ludicrous way to service weather balloons or whatever the heck ya'll speculate. Re: "That was the reason given by the Iraqis who were captured." Doesn't make it plausible. Iraqi's are known to STILL fear for their lives should they tell the truth. But I suppose you think that is somehow a plainly obvious lie, LOL. Re: "The CIA called Cheney and warned him that the evidence of the trailers being mobile labs was not credible." I don't have the answers, but I do believe you are twisting the truth to suit your view. What is unable to be verified, is also by definition, not disproven either. Re: "Then why are we waiting to do the something about China, NK, Iran and Syria? All have WMD...and all likely have a motive to attack the US. Are we going to wait for these countries to go imminent?" Do we think China commits terrorist acts against us? Not really. Not all of those countries are comitting terrorists acts by policy. Terrorism is non-conventional, you'll recall from history. It would be nice to stop real threats of first strike against us before they take place, surely. NO? We could probably actually take over Russia today, but the world sees we choose not to. This bodes well for us when it comes to fearing China, for instance. Dan B.
