Default Australia helped Saddam's dictatorship

why we went and what we're doing. Bascially, the facts support the
proposition that US policy and Bushco in particular did more to fuel the
insurgency and Al Qaeda than they could have done on their own. It's quite
an indictement.


If true then the Democrats owe it to the people that elected them to
impeach the President.
Guess we will see in the first "100 days" huh?
Been to any M. Moore flicks lately?

If Saddam Gets Nukes, What Will Happen?

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontl...nterviews/hamz...

Excerpt: ... We are talking about now the future of the region.

Now, Saddam gets nuclear weapons, and he has already the
full range of the chemical and most of the range of the bio-
logical probably. ... The expertise are there, all the scientists



Joe, glad to see you're willing to quote from liberal site like PBS.ORG,
to bad you didn't post the codacil to this interview: "[Editor's Note,
November 2005: More than two years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq,
no evidence has surfaced showing that Saddam Hussein had had the
capability to deploy nuclear weapons. After Saddam's fall, Hamza was
appointed by the Coalition Provisional Authority to be senior adviser to
Iraq's Ministry of Science and Technology. In this role, he had partial
control of Iraq's nuclear and military industries. In March 2004,
Hamza's contract was not renewed. To date, he has not addressed
questions about the failure to find weapons of mass destruction.]"

Hmmm.... I wonder how much else you left out, quoting zealous refugees
from Saddam's scourge hardly constitutes credible evidence

This link points to nowhere.
