To the far left, hundreds of chemical weapons were recently found in Iraq.?

Question

So now what will you complain about?

Answer 1

The weather

Answer 2

1.) There was never much of a disagreement as the the existence of the Chemicals. He used them once, and was capable of using them again.

2.) According to the story just released today, the weapons were too old to be used. That is from our own specialist.

3.) Kevin Phillips is an old GOP (Republican/Conservative) who has said that the drive into Iraq was to specifically secure an under developed source of sweet oil.

4.) What is left to "complain about?" Gee ... the economy, the borders, the incompetence of the administration in general. As you may have noted back in August 2004 even Bush admitted that there was not connection between Iraq and the events o f 9/11. There is much to disagree upon where Bush is concerned.

Answer 3

These aren't new. These have been reported for a long time as they've been found.

According to the DOD, they are degraded, inoperable shells that "once contained WMD" (Rumsfled). Santorum isn't reporting anything that we didn't already know.

Here's the DOD statement (NBC News):

"WASHINGTON - Senior U.S. intelligence officials said Thursday they have no evidence that Iraq produced chemical weapons after the 1991 Gulf War, despite recent reports from media outlets and Republican lawmakers.

Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan on Wednesday pointed to a newly declassified report that says coalition forces have found 500 munitions in Iraq that contained degraded sarin or mustard nerve agents.

They cited the report in an attempt to counter criticism by Democrats who say the decision to go to war was a mistake.

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.

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."

So, what will you complain about when your own celebrated administration admits that these are the "smoking gun" you're claiming they are.

Try again.

Answer 4

actually, the report says "approximately 500 chemical weapons have been found since 2003" and they're pre-gulf war (pre 1991), many of which dont have the chemical agents they need to be used.

and i'm glad they found them, i really am. i felt just as good as everyone else when we went into iraq, when rumsfield said "we know that there are wmd's in and around baghdad", which he said on camera. what i dont like is that 2 months ago he denied having ever said it.

if we're going into a place, fine. lets do it. but, send us in with your real reasons, dont send us in there and change the story after the fact. and if stuff goes sour, just admit that you messed up. the fact that they're finding weapons now still doesnt change the fact that we were lied to. take your pick, either we were lied to when we were sent in (theres a pre-911 document out there with G.W.'s signature on it that outlines a plan to go into iraq, he recommended painting a UN plane red white and blue with the hopes of drawing gunfire so we could be "provoked" into iraq), or they lied when they said "we never said that we knew where the weapons were."

and i dont consider myself a liberal either, i'm aware that a lot of the democrats are total tree hugging pansies. i dont want to rehab every criminal, and i dont think that kerry would have been some kind of amazing president, or any BS like that. criminals belong in prison or the electric chair. but i dont like the republican idea of a military state run by a man who does things because "god told me to do it". i just dont get why people feel they have to agree entirely with one side or the other. republicans suck, and democrats blow. there should be a party in the middle, the SANE party.

Answer 5

I will complain about our military wasting lives,time, and resources trying to stop Iraqis from killing each other when Bin Laden and his goons are still plotting against us. I will complain about my tax dollars (yes, I pay a lot in taxes) going to rebuild the infrastructure of a country that I don't really care about (Iraq).

Answer 6

I guess to the far right 3 years ago counts as recent. Since they still can't seem to get over Bill Clinton and that was 6 years ago.

Answer 7

Don't be surprised if they claim that Bush planted them there. I've already seen one far-left idiot make that claim. Next they'll complain that we don't have Bin Laden. Which is legit but once we put a bullet in his head, they'll claim that we killed him months ago and froze his body (another far-left view).

Answer 8

for all you know they put it there. theyve been there that long. and US is not hte "police of the world" for your info. we have the UN for that. American government are full of themselves. AS well as american people who buy the crap that their government is righteous. Ask the middle east what they think. Ask the Asians. Ask the Europeans. Americans are in a world of their own.

Answer 9
