Yessir, how very encouraging it would have been to find some. It's
just a
damn shame that more tyrants don't have WMDs. But we can change

You mean except the sarin shells and suchlike? Yea. no, he didn't
have nuclear capacity, but chemical and a willingness to use it? Ask
the Kurds.

Yeah, and I'll have them write their answer on my picture of Rumsfeld
shaking Saddams' hand. You know, the snapshot taken the very same week
the UN report describing this Kurdish gassing you cite actually came
out! Poppy Bush had Rummy there to smooth out public response to this
report and they were all-too eager to have an Iraqi WMD infrastructure
{that decade}. Like Nixon & Ford, who started Irans nuclear program
under the Shah, the people in power now have a myopic take on history
and rarely learn from their experiences, except how to set other
countries up to knock down later.
Who was Def Sec under Ford... Rumsfeld!
Who got him that job, Chief of Staff... Cheney!
What are you arguing here?
The UN had rooted out everything of note - hence Bush lamenting not
finding any when he insisted we attack anyway. How was Saddam supposed
to prove a negative: Bush demanded he prove he no longer had WMD and
warned the inspectors to leave {Saddam wanted them there to forestall
invasion} so US could attack... It was all pretext to loot - both the
target country resources and the US treasury and all we have is a
handful of decade old dusty artillery shells to show for this threat.
So, Mr Braveheart. Content with being a real hero - but only when you
play one online? Shall we sign you up to start marching into every
country on your list of potential WMD harbingers? I can see North
Korea is right up there at the moment - so I trust you enjoy kimchee
and sleeping on permafrost?
Or perhaps you insist your hide is worth more than one of Nick's family
when it comes to promoting the values championed so bravely from behind
the safety of your keyboard? Do you believe in them, but {somehow} not
enough to actually go fight for them as you advocate others should?
Eager to push for war when your safely drawing a salary and too good
for boot camp? We have words for this sort of approach, but I'll wait
for your response to see where you take my questions.
I'm more interested in whatever became of the Anthrax poisoning of a
few key {democratic} leadership offfices just as the Patriot Act was
coming up for review. That investigation has mysteriously dried up
after tracking US milspec grade production was involved. We have more
to worry about Weapons of Mass Deception than anything else these days.
