You are right, "The UN and the IAEA have said publicly that they were limited in their search scope." However they also said there was no evidence of WMDs.
After over two years of interrogating and or interviewing Iraqi scientists, leaders, military etc.. you would think we might have found something by now. That is something that wasn't there in 1992. You are right the UN made resolutions, and Sadam didn't adhere to them, so then why did the US rather than the UN initiate a war in Iraq? Could it be the UN did not find Iraq a threat worth going to war over? Because there was no evidence of them being a true threat. Bush wanted to war with Iraq and he didn't care if he had to go it alone. So he essentially did just that. Gathered up a couple of buddies, bought off a few more and went to war regardless of international opinion or support. And again you bring in silly Rove like comparisons to deter from the facts. " I bet Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was Bush's fault as well. I bet Iraq's mass murderers, support of terrorists and wars were all Bush's fault as well." Now I am just waiting for two or three hours from now when you attribute those comments to me. How many Iraqi terrorists have been involved in bombings or other terrorists activities in the USA? UK? Germany? Spain? How about anywhere outside of Iraq? Other than the invasion of Kuwait over a decade ago, what other international transgression has Iraq committed? Don't forget to mention the massacre of Kurds after the CIA promised to back the Kurds after the Gulf War then abruptly abandoned them to fight Sadam on their own, without the promised support. However, that is an internal not international incident. Sadam was a very bad and abusive leader. He shouldn't have been in power. However, I do believe the US supported him throughout the 1980's. But to go after him under the guise of a war on Terrorism and WMDs is just wrong. It has cost us billions of dollars, thousands of lives and a huge loss of respect from the international community. And what have we gained? We are no safer, Iraqis are no safer and the International community is no safer. We have given cause for thousands of Muslims to join a jihad against us and have nothing to show for it. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 9:54 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Studies: Most foreign fighters didn't wage terror before Iraq war The UN and the IAEA have said publicly that they were limited in their search scope. There are still reports coming out how they were scared off from investigating many sites even to this day. There are still reports coming out about WMD making equipment that was found, seen, stolen and all. The story is still open but the point is moot. There was a UN resolution for Saddam to open up all his sites. He refused and played games in many cases. There was a UN resolution to deal with him. Nothing came from it. To say it's all Bush's fault is to ignore ALL of the past. If it was all his fault, he would have never gone to the UN in the first place. I bet Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was Bush's fault as well. I bet Iraq's mass murderers, support of terrorists and wars were all Bush's fault as well. Oh, did I say terrorist support. Yes, it was well known but the evidence for support with Al Qaeda is sketchy, especially if you ignore meetings between Al Qaeda supporters and Iraqis. But if the media says no, then it means no despite any evidence. No, Bush is not a saint but he's not the devil either despite how he's painted (mostly by the media as well). I wonder why the media always shows us scenes from Iraq where we are wrong and never scenes from Iraq where we are right? > No, I blame one man and his administration for not looking at all the > factors. > > The U.N. said there was no evidence of WMDs > The IAEA said there was no evidence of WMDs. > > There has never been evidence linking Iraq to Al Qaeda. > Bin Laden referred to Sadam as an infidel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:165106 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
