So now that they've found WMD's in Iraq what do you think .....?

Question

will be the Dem/Libs response....for now just as with the absence of outrage over two of our soldiers being brutally murdered there is nothing but silence or feeble excuses.

Answer 1

The Liberals and Europeans are already denying it saying its no big deal. It is absolutely disgusting.

But it is great we found those WMDs.

Tons of news stories, for the poster that posted above me

Answer 2

I think according to Fox News:

Offering the official administration response to FOX News, a senior Defense Department official pointed out that the chemical weapons were not in useable conditions.

"This does not reflect a capacity that was built up after 1991," the official said, adding the munitions "are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war."

Answer 3

The only WMD in Iraq are the ones we brought with us.

Idiots who equate opposition to the invasion in Iraq to being unpatriotic, or a desire to see our neighbors and relatives be killed, are beneath contempt.

Fu** you.

PS: You forgot to mention this part of the story:

"However, a senior Defense Department official pointed out to Fox News that the chemical weapons in question were not in useable condition.
"This does not reflect a capacity that was built up after 1991,” the official said, adding the munitions "are not the WMD this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMD for which this country went to war.”

Answer 4

Please. The White House has said these are not WMDs they were talking about. This report has been around for 2 years they found 500 canisters buried in 1991 that lost any effectiveness over 10 years ago. Thsi was brought up now by rick Santorum because he is about to lose his senate race. If there was anything to this Bush administation would have been crowing about it when they were found in 2004. This story has even been debunked by Fox News.

Answer 5

I reluctantly supported our presidents decision to invade, back in 2003.

Although I'm no liberal, I have to say that the whole debacle in Iraq has proved a very expensive exercise in poor military planning and an over-aching desire to go to war without willing to work with other nations.

It has also proved that bin Laden and his ilk were NOT connected to Saddam in ways we were led to believe.

It has also increased the number of terrorists and despicable acts (as you rightly mention) against Americans.
Of course, it doesn't help that some of our troops are accused of killing innocent, unarmed women and children...but we'll wait for all the facts to come out on that.

This whole Iraq debacle was the wrong policy.
We should have maintained a level of containment on Saddam.
This, for a number of reasons, including the human and financial costs to Americans.

But then, people on the far right don't seem to care about those things.
They just seek to justify invading a country that is nowhere near as threatening as North Korea is (militarily speaking) or China (in terms of economic threat).

But if you choose to live in fantasy land, and desire to throw out verbal bombs to people who don't agree with you, well, I really can't help you out.

Answer 6

Small quantities that have been old, even however all of us comprehend for a actuality that they used great quantities on their very own people while now achieved Chemical Ali exterminated great numbers of Kurds. the U. S. and UN dragged their ft for many of years and surpassed out maximum of ultimatums that Iraq had a good number of time to bypass off their chemical skills to Syria.

Answer 7

I didn't know they found WMDs. I just looked at google news and there is nothing there about it

Answer 8

Where were they found and how many years did the Americans have to set it up?

Answer 9

Watch how I answer this one folks -

Liberals have been saying saddam had WMD for years -

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003


"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002


"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002


"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002


"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002


"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002


"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002


"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002


"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002


"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002


"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002


"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001


"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999


"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998


"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
-- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998


"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
--Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998


"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
--Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998


"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998


"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
