Those pesky WMDs...

• President Bush, Jan. 28, 2003: Our intelligence officials estimate that
Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin,
mustard and VX nerve agent.


tap tap tap on the calculator....a 40 foot trailer carries around 48,000
lbs....so this would be 20 tractor-trailers, unless they used 53 ft
trailers, but those are usually just for lightweight stuff like paper
products.

All our surveillance technology couldn't spot tractor trailers headed toward
Syria? I've read that our best satellites can resolve enough detail to
identify a pack of cigarettes in someone's hand.

Hmmm....maybe nobody was told to look for trucks leaving the country. I
wonder why that would be?

Or.....maybe people *did* notice trucks, and were told to stop noticing.

Just what would make them outraged? A blow job?

Sad commentary on the values of our country.


Blow jobs are so much more destructive to the moral fiber of our
country.

Killing people needlessly or watching them die while we stand idly by is
the status quo.

Blow jobs push the envelope, killing doesn't.

Ignorant population. Very scary.

would come down hard, because he'd done so frequently, Saddam canceled
all his WMD programs, destroyed everything associated therewith, and
became a good boy.


Clearly, that's exactly what happened. It was the sanctions that
worked.

So what stupid Konservative deduction is rolling around in that mostly
empty head of yours?

Evidently, Bush has no capacity to understand that sometimes things
change even though you suspect otherwise. Clinton would have been smart
enough to use contemporaneous information before he decided to invade.

As I've mentioned in the past, your leader rattled his saber for way too
long. If anything was there, he clearly wanted to give Saddam enough time
to
get rid of them. According to real people who know what they're talking
about, we already have weapons which would vaporize WMDs. Combine that
fact
with the nonsense about how "we know exactly where they are", and one must
wonder why none of them were bombed way before we started throwing away
young lives.


I agree with that entire paragraph wholeheartedly, except for the
'your leader' and the 'wanted to give' parts. He's *our* president. He
*gave* Saddam too much time.


John, if John McCain had run, and won, but I voted for Kerry, I'd still
respect him and consider him MY leader. But not Bush. He was propped up
(nominated) by a circle of insiders who wanted a cardboard replica of a
competent human, one who would not his head and agree to whatever was
suggested to him by his sitters. I will not call him MY leader. You seem OK
with him, so he's YOUR leader.

And, he most certainly did intend to give Saddam plenty of time. If that's
not true, then he must be as stupid as I've been telling you for such a long
time.

We spotted them alright.

We followed them to the Bekaa Valley in the buildup to the war. You were
too busy slamming Bush to take off the blinders and read the news stories
about convoys of hundreds of cars and large trucks heading to Syria right
before the war.


Excellent. You've made my point. "Heading to Syria..." means they were not
there yet. Now, you can explain why, if we saw all this, it was not stopped.
It would've been child's play to destroy the roads themselves.

I know the answer. Perhaps you would like to think about it and tell us why
YOU think it wasn't stopped.

Clinton obviously scared the crap out of Saddam! Knowing that
Clinton
would come down hard, because he'd done so frequently, Saddam
canceled
all his WMD programs, destroyed everything associated therewith,
and
became a good boy.

As I've mentioned in the past, your leader rattled his saber for way
too
long. If anything was there, he clearly wanted to give Saddam enough
time
to
get rid of them. According to real people who know what they're
talking
about, we already have weapons which would vaporize WMDs. Combine
that
fact
with the nonsense about how "we know exactly where they are", and
one
must
wonder why none of them were bombed way before we started throwing
away
young lives.


I agree with that entire paragraph wholeheartedly, except for the
'your leader' and the 'wanted to give' parts. He's *our* president.
He
*gave* Saddam too much time.

John, if John McCain had run, and won, but I voted for Kerry, I'd
still
respect him and consider him MY leader. But not Bush. He was propped
up
(nominated) by a circle of insiders who wanted a cardboard replica of
a
competent human, one who would not his head and agree to whatever was
suggested to him by his sitters. I will not call him MY leader. You
seem
OK
with him, so he's YOUR leader.

And, he most certainly did intend to give Saddam plenty of time. If
that's
not true, then he must be as stupid as I've been telling you for such
a
long
time.

Your lack of respect for the man does not change the fact of his
presidency. I believe the time was 'given' to Saddam so Bush could do
the 'politically correct' thing - trying to appease the Dems and the
UN. You're right, that was a waste of good time.

If he believed Saddam had the weapons he should not have wasted time
seeking approval.

That's correct, John. Only an intensely stupid man would do such a
thing.
Only. Exclusively. No exceptions. Period. You're beginning to
understand.


One needn't be intensely stupid to make a stupid mistake. Waiting for
Democrat, Republican, and UN approval was intensely stupid. Perhaps he
received some intensely stupid advice from members of *both* parties
who were strong believers.

John H


For a war, the only advice to act on is advice from intelligence sources,
not legislators, unless they have something concrete to offer. Opinions
are
not appropriate.


I agree. He had no business reacting to world opinion (e.g., the
French and Germans) or the UN. Given your position, I'm surprised at
all the negative comments about the 'lack' of a coalition.

John H


I object to his use of the fictitious coalition as one of his many bogus
reasons.

John, I think you and I are using a different definition of "coalition". For
me, the definition consists of countries which have made large
contributions. That means us and England. Please don't point out that a few
Japanese, Spanish or Italian people have been killed. I'm talking about
numbers larger than you can count on your fingers and toes.

Based on that definition, there is no coalition. Sorry. Just two countries.
Your leader said there were dozens.

As far as the Rove/Cheney decision to wait and wag their dicks, that was
done for some other reason I'm not sure of yet. Your leader had nothing to
do with it, other than reading the script.

Political support was a large part of the coalition. Very few
countries gave 'thousands' of troops during the first Gulf War. You
speak from a chasm of hate, and that clouds what you say. Whether the
forces provided were large or small is not as important as the
politcal fact of rendering support.

But, it's mute. We're there now. Calling the President names doesn't
get us out of the mess. I don't think it does much for your ego
either.

No, the point, which you all either missed or conveniently ignored,
was that the idea that Saddam had WMD predated GWB. We all believed
it, including most of the prominent democratic leaders. You cannot
fault Bush for acting on the same information that the previous
