WMDs are NUCLEAR. They are the mushroom clouds, the 45 minutes to launch and other utter bald-faced lies which you and other ignorant rightwing nitwits just eat up. Remember mustard gas? firstworldwar.com "...Although it is popularly believed that the German army was the first to use gas it was in fact initially deployed by the French. In the first month of the war, August 1914, they fired tear-gas grenades (xylyl bromide) against the Germans. Nevertheless the German army was the first to give serious study to the development of chemical weapons and the first to use it on a large scale...." Who didn't know that Saddam had used gas on his own people and against Iran? The US knew and didn't do anything. Do you think Rummy's company sold Saddam the chenmical weapons? Do you? "...In 1984, Donald Rumsfeld was in a position to draw the world’s attention to Saddam’s chemical threat. He was in Baghdad as the UN concluded that chemical weapons had been used against Iran. He was armed with a fresh communication from the State Department that it had “available evidence” Iraq was using chemical weapons. But Rumsfeld said nothing. Washington now speaks of Saddam’s threat and the consequences of a failure to act. Despite the fact that the administration has failed to provide even a shred of concrete proof that Iraq has links to Al Qaeda or has resumed production of chemical or biological agents, Rumsfeld insists that “the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” But there is evidence of the absence of Donald Rumsfeld’s voice at the very moment when Iraq’s alleged threat to international security first emerged. And in this case, the evidence of absence is indeed evidence." commondreams.org You have been and continue to be wrong-wrong-wrong about Iraq. You are not credible. Your opinions are not credible because you do not use information to inform your opinions, you pick and choose bizarre information from fruitcake sources in order to fit your very dark worldview. What in the world are you so danged afraid of? Are you afraid that OBL will be hiding underneath your bed? You should be afraid of Dubyette and his minions in your closet instead. They're spying, they're making signing statements, they're lying, they're bankrupting the country and making terrorism and war as inevitable as they possibly can. Exactly how does assymetric warfare end if Dubyette leaves 40,000 troops in desert bases in Iraq forever? How? Are you really this dense or is this just a joke?
