War in Iraq?

Question

now that they have found over 500 chemical weapons in iraq what do you think was this war really necessary? I mean Saddam said he did not have any and now they have found them.I saw it on the news last night. So now it turns out he was really a danger to society.

why do people keep making excuses that they never had weapons or that we sold those weapons to them. I guess what everyone here wants is for them to have actually use them on us then they will believe.

and again more excuses pre 1991 the fact is that he lied about having any chemical weapons. Do you know how much damage a chemical weapon can make.

Answer 1

I believe the war was necessary. The United Nations, for fourteen years, and with numerous resolutions, tried to keep Saddam under control. It did not work. WMD's were only one of many reasons, outlined by the US Government, for entering Iraq. The whole world knew Saddam had chemical weapons. He used them on his own people, in the past.
Many years ago, the Israelis blew up a nuclear reactor, before it got into production. Saddam tried to develop nuclear weapons. He murdered hundreds of thousands of his own people. He waged war on his neighbors. He is a dirt bag. His two sons were probably worse than he was. They may have taken over the government in Iraq, eventually.

Answer 2

A pentagon official who confirmed the findings said that all the weapons were pre-1991 vintage munitions. Did you listen to the whole story or just the headline?

“We now know that Saddam has resumed his efforts to acquire and build weapons of mass destruction.” - Dick Cheney


They have yet to prove that fact.

"a senior Defense Department official pointed out that the chemical weapons were not in useable conditions."

How does that make him a danger to society?

Do you have "selective hearing" like my son?

I've included a link to the story from a source you'll trust...

Answer 3

Chemical weapons are not always weapons of mass destruction. We KNEW he was using chemical weapons a long time ago. WMD refers more to nukes, which I think were never found.

At any rate Osama Bin Laden was always a bigger threat, and we spend almost no resources to look for him compared to the war in Iraq. So no, the war was not worth it.

Think of Vietnam. Yes, the Vietnamese were dangerous. Yes they had an evil dictator. But it was still not worth it and it is one of the biggest mistakes in American history. We lost Vietnam. It was a failure because of poor managment. And the war in Iraq is NOT well managed. So WMD or no the war is a waste.

Answer 4

No the war was not necessary. We already new he had chemical weapons. He used them on the Kurds years ago and no one was willing to go in there to help them then. I think it refers more to nuclear weapons which they don't have. They did find some weapons but they weren't nuclear weapons...it turns out they were weapons we had sold them 20 years ago.
