Doug,
If there were not WMD in Iraq, why did every single political since 1990 (liberal, conservative, moderate, Republican or Democrat) publicly state they had proof that Iraq had WMD. Did all of them, including your boy Clinton, lie to you? All western intelligence agencies believed Iraq had WMD. Right or wrong, GWB was the only president who acted on a universally agreed upon danger to the region and western economy. GWB used 9/11 as a catalyst to overthrow a dictator who had used WMD many times in the past. Just as FDR used the Japanese as the catalyst to enter an unpopular war, GWB used 9/11 to enter an unpopular war, to correct a dangerous situation in a very unstable region. Most historians agree FDR implemented a economic boycott on Japan, to encourage Japan to commit an act of war against the US. The act of war would force the Axis Powers to declare war against the US, allowing the US to come to the aid of Britain. When you say Rowe and GWB lied to the world concerning WMD, remember if that is true, every politician in the US lied to world since 1990. "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "NOYB" wrote in message link.net... "unable to complete its investigation"?!?!?!? "possibility that WMD was evacuated to Syria before the war"?!?!? That's hardly "conclusive evidence" that WMD didn't exist!!! I know you're busy, so I can understand that you've forgotten how I explained this to you at least twice in the past. Print it out this time so you can refer to it when necessary. Shortly after 9/11, your president, Karl Rove, began announcing (via his boy, GWB) that he knew there were WMDs, and that he knew exactly where they were. But, for reasons you and I can only guess, Rove decided to rattle his sword for almost 7 months before actually doing anything about these weapons. By doing so, he gave one party or another plenty of time to move the materials elsewhere. Various reasons have been given for this delay, by people in this newsgroup. 1) "It takes a long time to prepare ground forces for an invasion." This is true, but irrelevant. If Rove knew exactly where they were, air strikes could have dealt with at least some of the locations. Excuse warning: "Saddam hides things near civilians, so we couldn't have used air strikes". Bull****. We dropped plenty of bombs near civilian populations. 2) "We couldn't have used air strikes because such-and-such country didn't want us using their air strips." Bull****. Ship-launched cruise missiles have enough range to get around distance limitations. Rove did not want to use this option because, in fact, he did NOT know where the WMDs were. 3) "Rove wanted to give the U.N. time to do blah blah blah so he could appear to have made a fair decision". Bull****. His mind was made up well before U.N. options had run out. If the military had been ready to go in October of that year instead of March of the next, Rove would've sent them in. So, please, cut the crap. If there were WMDs, your president wanted them gone. Use your imagination and you can figure out the reasons. I'll admit there may have been just ONE good reason to allow them to be smuggled out: To make the country a bit safer for our troops. But, since your president can't arrange for vehicle armor, I doubt he really cared much whether soldiers were exposed to chemical or biological weapons. |
