From a recent news report on June 28th, 2006 (by Kathleen Parker, Tribune Media Services):
"At the center of the current skirmish is a newly unclassified document released Wednesday that seems to confirm evidence of WMD in Saddam's Iraq, including both degraded and possibly lethal chemical agents."
"According to the document, coalition forces have recovered some 500 weapons munitions since 2003 that contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agents. Other key points are that these chemical agents could be used outside Iraq and that "most likely munitions remaining are sarin- and mustard-filled projectiles." "

Yes. The United States found over 20 significant caches of weapons in the week after Zarqawi's death. My brother is in the Army and will be deployed to Iraq in June 2007. I agree with the War on Terror, but we should have gone to Iran. Iran had connections to 9/11, not Iraq. I'm not saying we shouldn't have taken Iraq out, because we should have, I'm just saying that we should have been in Iran on September 12th. Oh, some scary stuff happened in Vietnam. My brother has told me some of the stuff that is going on in Iraq, and I assume that Vietnam was on the same scale (except for IED's).

Maybe at one point a long time ago. But seriously, there was no real evidence to go in there. They showed satellite pictures of trucks being loaded up with the WMDs, well why didn't they just use that satellite to follow the trucks, or if the satellites couldn't be geosynchronis they could have done something else. What about the location of where the trucks were? They should have been some sort of residue in the building, or some equipment. And then the vial that Colin Powel showed to the U.N. that had white powder in it. What was that? "Saddam could have anthrax that looks like this". I used to respect that man. And Saddam didn't even have white anthrax, his wasn't pure and looked more like the color of coke. How can you go from having the whole world on your side (even Iran) after 9/11 to having just a handful of countries on your side? Did you know Iran would capture Taliban and send them back to Afghanistan, and they were even willing to sit down and discuss their nuclear efforts a few years back but the arrogant administration said they didn't want to deal with the issue. Now look at the trouble we're going through.
I think North Korea had, and continues to have a huge program. I don't see why we are so afraid to make demands with North Korea like we make with other countries in the middle east.

We're talking a desert the size of California. They are still stumbling upon mass graves that no one knew about and those would not be hidden as well as WMD. They once uncovered 4 helicopters that had been buried. There is some freaky stuff hidden out there in those sands. Who knows how much of what is out there?! Saddam hid the stuff, or got his people to hide it, then killed those who knew about it. The terrorists would use them if they knew where they were! However, if they knew where they were, they'd be dead in one of those mass graves we keep finding.
Bush did the right thing. WIsh he'd learn the word "veto" but he did the right thing invading Iraq. Wish he'd have the guts to actually declare war, but he did the right thing invading.

The only WMDs in that area of the world are from the US military. sorry you are going through so much heartache. Glad your son didn't get to go to Iraq. the thing is, the UN proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that there were no WMDs in Iraq before the war.
Regards to your brother. I know a lot of men like him from the Viet Nam era, Hope he's well.

I believe like you do, i think they were sped off to Syria just a week before we took Baghdad.
The Syrians are Baathists just like Sadaam and Co. They are still there hidden somewhere. War is hell, as they say, and remember when President Bush said (in'01) we had to stay with this and it wouldn't go away for a long time? The hit and run leftist "progressive" media would have us believe and tries to do anything(including treason) to have us run from this, that it would be the right thing. These people don't understand reason, the Koran says it is alright to lie to infidels, we can't trust any of them. They want all Westerners, Christians, and Jews dead or brainwashed converts.

. There were no weapons of mass destruction! No one has to look harder to get killed, insurgents or defenders are anxious to kill invaders. That is how millions of Muslims regard us. Saudi Arabians did 9/11. Bush is friends with the Saudi Royal Family.

In late January 2003, as Secretary of State Colin Powell prepared to argue the Bush administration's case against Iraq at the United Nations, veteran CIA officer Tyler Drumheller sat down with a classified draft of Powell's speech to look for errors. He found a whopper: a claim about mobile biological labs built by Iraq for germ warfare.
Drumheller instantly recognized the source, an Iraqi defector suspected of being mentally unstable and a liar. The CIA officer took his pen, he recounted in an interview, and crossed out the whole paragraph.
A few days later, the lines were back in the speech. Powell stood before the U.N. Security Council on Feb. 5 and said: "We have first-hand descriptions of biological weapons factories on wheels and on rails."
The sentence took Drumheller completely by surprise.. Other warnings came prior to President Bush's State of the Union address on Jan. 28, 2003. In the same speech that contained the now famous "16 words" on Iraqi attempts to acquire uranium, Bush spoke in far greater detail about mobile labs "designed to produce germ warfare agents."
Doesn't any listen to anything except what they want to hear?
Why do you suppose your brother doesn't talk. Several members of our family were in 'Nam, too. One is blind and chronically ill , the other is ill and half nuts..both were sprayed with our chemical weapon, Agent Orange
Look harder at what Bush is doing, he is a WMD walking.

WASHINGTON - In his final word, the CIA’s top weapons inspector in Iraq said Monday that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction has “gone as far as feasible” and has found nothing, closing an investigation into the purported programs of Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the 2003 invasion.
“After more than 18 months, the WMD investigation and debriefing of the WMD-related detainees has been exhausted,” wrote Charles Duelfer, head of the Iraq Survey Group, in an addendum to the final report he issued last fall.
“As matters now stand, the WMD investigation has gone as far as feasible.”
"Every woman in Iraq is better off because the rape rooms and torture chambers of Saddam Hussein are forever closed."
—Bush, remarks on "Efforts to Globally Promote Women's Human Rights," March 12, 2004

I believe at one time that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But I also believe that shortly before the war started that the weapons were removed to neighboring countries for safe keeping and were to be returned to Saddam at some point in time. Which of course everyone knows he will never be in power to receive them back. Now the question is...who is safe harboring the weapons for him so we can make sure that they don't fall into improper hands?
