Thread: Syrian weapons of mass destruction

If the Bush admin had been honest we could have avoided this disaster and focused our considerable resources on hunting down those that were responsible for 9/11.

It's easy to say hindsight is 20/20 but in this case it was known beforehand. We weren't told until after.

Misrepresenting the truth aren't you? We weren't told iraq was behind 9-11. We were told it was a terrorists group which is why we went to war with terrorism. That was going before iraq. Iraq had many issues that made the war justified. The refused un inspectors, they were locking onto our fighter planes, they were harboring terrorists, they had wmds, they were making wmds, they were seeking out nuclear capabilities, and so on. All of which were in defiance to the treaty they signed. Pick one you like and it was a justifiable reason to go back and finish the job.

Iraqi Chemical Stash Uncovered


I thought you guys kept up on this stuff when it was going on? At least do a search before asking the question.

For your first link, they claimed they found them before, too:
"A secret fact-finding mission to Iraq -- not made public until now -- had already concluded that the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons. Leaders of the Pentagon-sponsored mission transmitted their unanimous findings to Washington in a field report on May 27, 2003, two days before the president's statement. "
Lacking Biolabs, Trailers Carried Case for War

"Two Iraqi trailers captured by U.S. and Kurdish troops became a center-piece of U.S. claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. But shortly after the fall of Baghdad, an internal report showed the trailers had nothing to do with banned weapons."
From 'Biological Laboratories' to Harmless Trailers

Did you read article #2 from the WaPo? "Boylan said the suspected lab was new, dating from some time after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Bush administration cited evidence that Saddam Hussein's government was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction as the main justification for the invasion. No such weapons or factories were found."

Lol, who looks foolish now?

Fear is a powerful tool. 9/11 was still fresh in everyone's mind, and Bush made sure to use it, too.

I´ve known that since I opened a history book...I ask you and the rest of the people that support war to not be hypocritical about it. Any war waged is about power.

By U.S. logic...

Saddam was deemed a terrorist because he met up with Osama B.L. and harbored terrorists (completely false, btw)

What about selling chemical and biological weapons to "terrorists"...does this not make you an accomplice to that terrorist?

Oh you could make the connection of war and power. However the link gets pretty flimsy depending on which conflict your talking about.

In the same way you are guilty of vehicular homicide by loaning your car to someone else and they hit someone.

Yea...exactly the same thing deathgod...

A car is exactly like a chemical or biological weapon.

What is the purpose of using a car?

What is the purpose of using a chemical or biological WEAPON!?!?!?!?!
