bluepeter said:I don't know why I'm even bothering to respond to this drivel but you did read the article and you do comprehend the claims that were being made by the White House right? ?
bluepeter said:Let me summarize for you. The claims were that Saddam and Iraq had a 'current, functional program' for WMD. They continuously insinuated or flatout claimed that weapons were being made there NOW and that there was a grave danger both to the US (lmao) and the rest of the ME. Remember the 'mushroom cloud' hyperbole?
bluepeter said:Now let me summarize the article for you real simple. Pre-Gulf War. Period.
bluepeter said:Dude, everyone and their brother knows and has known for decades that Iraq had shit like that 20 years ago
el-oh-el.
What the hell does finding these weapons since 2003 have to do with 20 years ago???bluepeter said:Too funny. I'm not wasting any more of my time 'debating' someone that can't even read.
This is inescapable though:bluepeter said:Too funny. I'm not wasting any more of my time 'debating' someone that can't even read.
"Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."
mrplunkey said:This is inescapable though:
That's a ton of nasty shit. He repeatedly told UN weapons inspectors that he was WMD free. This explains why he frustrated their efforts so much.
When the thing was percolating, the US claimed:bluepeter said:Oh absolutely but that's NOT what was insinuated when this whole thing was percolating.
mrplunkey said:When the thing was percolating, the US claimed:
1) He had chemical and biological weapons
2) He had an ongoing research programs into chemical and biological weapons
I can't find anywhere that the US said he had some massive manufacturing facility in place and was cranking out new, fresh weapons. Do you have a link?
Well his agents met somewhere (I forget where) and were trying to buy nuclear triggers, which would tell most rational observers that he's trying to set-off a nuclear reaction. Of course, maybe it was for a science fair project but my guess is he was trying to make a nuke bomb.bluepeter said:The insinuation was that he had a current up-to-date program and just to crank up the fear factor, terms like 'mushroom cloud' were thrown out there. It was made to seem as if there was an imminent possibility of some biological/nuclear attack if Saddam was not disarmed. THAT is what 'liberals' have a problem with.

And we know the guy could launch things out of his country with scud missles -- albiet poorly since the shit sometimes fell apart in the air. If he's got 500+ chemical weapons shells, had demonstrated the ability to launch things outside his borders, has a history of using chemical weapons on people, and talks about "death to the zionists" what more did we need?
Let me just be blunt... were you specifically looking for a massive, state-of-the art maufacturing facility that was cranking-out the latest weapons? Would nothing short of that qualify as "WMD"?
Phenom78 said:Whatever we may think individually about our reasons for going to war,or the presence of WMD's in Iraq, I think we can all agree on the fact that BluePeter is a dumbass.![]()
uryan said:those were old ass weapons from before 1991
THAT justifies the war? 2500 americans dead for that? $500BN for that?
I don't think so

I think we're celebrating the fact that one of them didn't wind-up in the middle of a port in New York or Los Angeles. I personally would rather we find them over there instead of over hereRazorguns said:i find it disturbing people find 'happiness' in discovering WMDs..
Uh, that stuff can kill us all yo - who in their bright minds wishes tools to kill us all easily, are ... found???
that's like celebrating the fact that gangs in your city now have nukes.
bluepeter said:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13480264/
But defense officials said Thursday that the weapons were not considered likely to be dangerous because of their age, which they determined to be pre-1991. .
bluepeter said:[Pentagon officials told NBC News that the munitions are the same kind of ordnance the U.S. military has been gathering in Iraq for the past several years, and "not the WMD we were looking for when we went in this time."
lol
Poor Max.
You kidding right. I guess if the police come in with a warrant and find something other than what they are there for you are less guilty of having it. GEEZ !! maxpain said:READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE PETER NOT JUST WHAT YOU WANT TOO!!
QUOTE FROM "YOUR" ARTICLE:
We were able to determine that [the missile] is, in fact, degraded and ... is consistent with what we would expect from finding a munition that was dated back to pre-Gulf War," an intelligence official told NBC. "However, even in the degraded state, our assessment is that they could pose an up-to-lethal hazard if used in attacks against coalition forces."
AGAIN, REBUTTED. See if you read the whole article. The truth comes out. Something you liberals seem not to be able to do.

Ah, the liberals and their reasoning.
You come back now peter. It is SO MUCH FUN embarassing you for your "knowledge" or lack thereof.
POOR PETER !!
bluepeter said:So you're saying Iraq was invaded because Saddam had 20 year old degraded biological weapons (that everyone ALREADY KNEW he had)? He gassed his own people Sally, this is common knowledge.
I'll try again. That Saddam had stuff like this has been common knowledge for decades. That IS NOT consistent with the reasons/hyperbole/scare tactics that were enumerated when this invasion was conceived.
bluepeter said:I'm sorry. Did you just quote an article whose sources are PENTAGON intelligence officials and then try and use that same article as fodder for denigrating Liberal reasoning? .
bluepeter said:Oh my god. It cannot possibly be this hard to grasp. Wow..
