Anyone paying attention?

Question

Everyone crying about the "lies" that led us to war in Iraq, meaning no WMD found, needs to listen carefully!!! It was reported on Friday that WMD, and biological weapons HAVE BEEN FOUND!!! the so-called lie that took us to war, is not a lie after all. Of course, now everyone that has seen this evidence of the truth claims that these weapons are old weapons, but the age of the weapons was not a question. The existence of these weapons has been the issue, and now that they have been discovered, I suggest the whiners find a new cheese to nibble on!

Answer 1

I am paying attention. The reason these are not made more public is because it takes all of the steam out of the left's anti-war argument.

If things can be proven to be going well in Iraq, then they would have no basis for an argument.

Answer 2

WMDs were initially found in Iraq - the public and the media forgets this. Was it huge stockpiles of them? No, but they were WMDs. Which leads to the question: How many WMDs do you need to qualify to actually have WMDs? In my book, the answer is only one.

Now, we have a case of 500 WMDs found in Iraq since 2003. Were they old? Sure. They were produced before the 1991 Gulf War. Your left-leaning liberals will argue that these had degraded and posed no real danger. Does it matter? Nope. It PROVES that Saddam lied about keeping Weapons of Mass Destruction.

I I think the real question is why aren't the news media outlets - with the notable exception of Fox News - reporting this??? Here are some of the details reported by Congress:

• 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.

• Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the black market. Use of these weapons by terrorists or insurgent groups would have implications for Coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside Iraq cannot be ruled out.

• The most likely munitions remaining are sarin and mustard-filled projectiles.

• The purity of the agent inside the munitions depends on many factors, including the manufacturing process, potential additives, and environmental storage conditions. While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal.

• It has been reported in open press that insurgents and Iraqi groups desire to acquire and use chemical weapons.

Answer 3

I saw this report you speak of on Fox News on Friday morning. I was not surprised that these WMD were found, nor am I surprised that they have been dormant, or claim to have been older weapons. We are at war now, and the only thing that will be news to me is when we pull out of this sensless act of violence! No cheese needed, I don't whine, I scream at unjustified loss of life!!

Answer 4

First off, where is your source?

Second, OMG do you really expect us to believe that after... what 3 or 4 years in Iraq, we suddenly have found WMDS... LOL OMG be real!!!!

Tell you what, let me claim YOU have WMDs in your backyard then take control of your house a few years. I'm sure I'll be able to prove it eventually. LOL

Answer 5

My borfriend was in the military when they first found the wmd. It has always been our opinion that they have known where these weapons were they were just keeping the info to themselves until Bush's approval rating was so low that he could use this as his trump card to revive his popularity in the US

Answer 6

if they found any, you can bet that bush had them planted. its been awhile since bush told that lie. havent heard of any whiners nibbling on that piece of cheese in a long time, it only gets mentioned when people are going over the very long list of lies bush has told.

Answer 7

And they were marked " Made in the U.S.A."
