So do you think the United States acutally ever believed Iraq had mass weapons of destruction?

Question

We accuse iraq of mass weapons of destruction, we then invaded them immediately. We don't however don't do anything about the soviet union in the past and north korea currently. Why? Because they are freakin powerful. Why are they freakin powerful? Because they have weapons of mass destruction. If we knew iraq had weapons of mass destruction we wouldn't have invaded them. We knew they didn't have it. iuno just a thought that hit me right now

Answer 1

liberals crack me up. saddam never had wmds and regan sold them to him.
how do you people find food?

Answer 2

Yes we believed this. At the time we were gathering intelligence from spys all over the world from different countries. Colin Powell even testified that we had proof. And now he is (kind-of) against the whole deal.

Listen, a lot of the stuff has media influence. You need to use your brains and sort out the liars and real people that actually look out for us.

For a time there, we (US) actually thought Iraq had the capabilities to launch a nuke weapon or detonate one as we liberated Baghdad.

This is it. The main reason why this all happened is because Iraq violated something like 12 instructions to allow UN inspectors and disable atomic capabilities.

This isnt rocket science. The WORLD voted to stop what they were doing and Saddam refused. Now the same thing is going on in Iraq and North Korea.

Bush is not the problem at all. If you look at the situation he has actually nothing to do with what happened, He was acting on the WORLD.

Unfortunately, the media has ruined everything and makes US presidents look like idiots. :(

Answer 3

No, the Administration was well aware that their accusations would not hold up in the long run.

Especially any of the reports of a nuclear program in Iraq.

They also knew, however that once we were there, that our presence would make it inherently unstable. They left the borders open to allow the jihadists and Al Qaeda to enter.

They dissolved ALL political and social structure in the country, which ensured a high unemployment rate, and the inability to provide essential services.

This provided a pool of recruit-able angry men.

They provided someone in Iraq with a large number of weapons without recording the serial numbers, or documenting who received the arms.

Armed the insurgency

They gave away 9 Billion, yes B I L L I O N, dollars in cash to someone in Iraq. They have no idea who got it and it appears to be untraceable to date.

Funded Al Qaeda and the insurgency


As far as the nuclear question, I do not believe that our current President would hesitate to use nuclear weapons. If Saddam had possessed or deployed such a device, the nuclear counter would have been immediate and overwhelming.

We have more and bigger nukes than all other countries in the world combined.

We are the only country or entity in the history of the world to deploy such weapons, and we did so on two heavily populated civilian targets.

Since the breakup of the Soviet Union, mutually assured destruction no longer applies.

If we use first strike, only a handful of countries could retaliate. They would have to consider carefully, because we can wipe any country in the world without putting a dent in our nuclear arsenal.

This puts the US in a position of ultimate power in the world.

This is the basis for the neo-con plan of world domination by the US. Tactical use of nuclear weapons sure would send a powerful message to all the little kids.

Instead of using this obvious advantage as a backdrop for efforts in a positive direction or government is acting like a bully in a schoolyard.

If we say it - it is true by default. If proved wrong later, deny prior knowledge of the true facts.


End the illegal occupation of Iraq


BRING ALL OF OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!!!

Answer 4

Funny how easy you all blame Bush. He's the bad guy he is so dumb he "lied" us into war. You call him dumb but yet he was smart enough to dupe most of congress into VOTING to take Saddam out. Well then how DUMB does that make them??? And please the U.N.? If you ever took time to read up on them you would see what a joke it is. There are many theories on what happened to the WMD's. Some have actually been found. But hardly gets reported. None of the good things and the success our solders are having gets reported. Only when they do something wrong or are accuesed of doing something wrong then it's front page news baby! And the dialy body count never gets left out.It's up to 3000 or so now. 300 to 600 thousand American solders dies in WW2 in less time! Wonder how you would have treated the president of that time now? Don't get me wrong I hate war and any casulties are too many. But the way you people think now adays scares me. We are not at war because we are bad for being a super power but some try and make you think it's all our fault because we have more then the poor terrorists. How dare we be a super power it's just not fair! the politically correct thinking that we caused this and deserve everything we get is wrapped. None of you ever mention the way the terrorists kill some of our brave men and women. Like beating them almost to death then cutting their private parts off and stuffing them in their mouths before they behead them. How dare you say our president and our military are wrong for fighting for your saftey and freedoms. Life is never fair and there will always be those who would dominate others and kill the ones they cannot dominate. And hopefully there will always be an America to fight them back to perserve what is good while we live here on this rock. Sorry but I just get tired of all this sissy mamby pamby crap. Have a good day

Answer 5

If by the United States you mean the President and his cohorts, then no. Its pretty clear these days that it was easy, through a little research, to see that Iraq did not have wmd's. The program that Iraq did have to develop wmd's was destroyed during the Clinton administration. This is a FACT. Since then they have been incapable of making these types of weapons.

The Bush administration told the country that Iraq had wmd's in order to bolster support for the war that he wanted to start a long long time ago. IRAQ was the MAIN goal of the current administration BEFORE he was elected. Through making up connections between 9/11 and Iraq and then saying that Iraq posed a huge danger to the American public with wmd's he scared the vast majority of us into letting him start a war that, looking back at it now, was almost completely unjustified.

As time goes on and as more of the truth comes out we the public will see that this war has done almost nothing good besides ousting Saddam. Bush is a BUISINESS man. His goal is to make MONEY, not make people happy. He and his administration lied to US and I hope that people can one day see and understand this horrible truth.

Answer 6

He had each and every problem sealed. If he became born in u . s . of america and a criminal citizen, it would basically fee about fifteen funds are a lot less to bypass to the courtroom domicile in Hawaii ( he has been there a lot when you consider that he took place of work) and get an approved replica of the unique start certificate. yet he can not, because he lied. he's not a American Citizen. A certificate of stay start isn't a start certificate. If he has not something to hid, he might want to tutor it, different Presidents have theirs and McCain proved his, yet Obama would truly lie, pay attorneys and regulation corporations 1000's of thousands a year to maintain his previous and papers hidden, and get regulation matches hostile to him thrown out. Obama is a liar and he became born in Kenya. Many courtroom circumstances were filed on Obama related to him being a unlawful. each and every decide disregarded it, and also you may wager decide Carter who knew at first there became a case hostile to Obama, regardless of the indisputable fact that the DOJ placed rigidity on the decide to push aside it. I wager the decide became threatened as all others were. regardless of the indisputable fact that that's going to all come out sometime, and also you may also wager that Hillary and bill Clinton is conscious Obama lied and is not authentic citizen also.

Answer 7

Iraq had WMDs ask the Kurds and Iranians who got gassed in 1988 and the allied soldiers who got gassed in 1991.

Or did you forget about that?

Ever heard of Gulf War Syndrome? or do you think there is no such thing?

I met a guy who's Brother has Gulf War Syndrome.

Answer 8

The only weapons I raq had was what Regan, and Bush senior sold them.
The C.I.A. has been keeping tabs on iraq for years, with western educated personel working inside of Sadaam's administration for years.

Answer 9

Regardless of whether we believed it or not, the UN did not condone our invasion. If we are a part of the UN we must abide by those standards until and unless we have better evidence. If you are looking for an answer on that you will never find one because the government lies to its own people. A better question might be "How did our country evolve to the point where government disregards the goals of the exact people who put it there?"

Answer 10

don't be as stupid as the rest of the dems. they made US anounce our intentions through the un three months ahead of time. if your not bright enough to know saddam shipped everything to syria then your as dumb as sen. kerry kennady feinstien and the lot. don't forget pelosi. if you said your coming to my house , i think i would clean house ok. give me 3 months warning. no wmds here. give me a break democraps.
