does anybody think they know what happened to the wmd's?

Question

well, we know he had them, he used them to murder many of his own countrymen..women and children..if you have doubts of the savaginess of this, research a little and look at the pictures of the dead children in the dirt, arms outward, maybe crying for help..
why did sadaam not let the weapons inspectors do their job? if he had nothing to hide, why risk sanctions then attacks?..
look at all the man had, he had a country with huge palaces just for him..basically, he had anything he wanted...why would a man take the risk of losing all this?
he saw the military buildup against him, and he had to know his army really wasn't much of a challenge, so why risk an attack and the possibility of losing everything or dying?
i suppose the thinking confuses me...don't tell me the story that he was worried about an attack from iran, thus the weapons facade...he knew good and well that had he cooperated with the weapons inspectors, the u.n. would have been behind him should iran cause trouble..also he was telling the world he had nothing anyway, so iran would have attacked had they had the wherwithall to do so..
now here in america we have democrats saying we told you so and republicans saying we were wrong to go into iraq since there were no wmd's,,,but there were!..where are they..
i think had sadaam destroyed them he would gladly have pointed that out to the weapons inspectors...i believe they are still buried there someplace...there is no way in hell that all of iraq has been searched...

Answer 1

I believe most are in Syria, and there has been some speculation about a very re enforced, buried, sealed, cement "bunker" found out in the desert. Coalition forces have been unable to find anyone who knows anything about it, and are uncertain as to whether it would be a good idea to try to penetrate it. I don't know if I remembered to include that story among my saved links or not.

Prior to the invasion, there were multiple stories regarding a great deal of activity between Iraq and Syria, and follow-up stories seem to support this theory. I doubt Syria would risk actually keeping anything besides nuclear components, but I have little doubt they received at least some WMD.

One or two of those stories area about the foiled attack with large amounts of chemical WMD and explosives in Jordan in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Baghdad. Those chemical weapons didn't just spring out of the air.

I saved these links because I got sick of hearing people say that there weren't any WMD found, when that wasn't entirely so. We didn't find the massive stockpiles we expected, but chemical weapons were found.

Answer 2

First of all, where did the biological and toxic weapon come from?

These where supplied by the U.S. and Germany during the build up to the Iran-Iraq war so when you speak out against these atrocities don't forget the part your country played in them. When the western world stopped supplying Saddam with WMD's he probably did not have the means to manufacture his own. Anything he might have had would have been used up during the 80's already.

U.N. inspectors also found nothing during comprehensive searches of the entire counry and British intelligence is know to have 'beefed up' reports on WMD's in order to justify an unjust war. You might be able to hide a tiny canister of Anthrax in the desert somewhere where no-one will ever find it but how do you hide the labs where they would have been produced - this is not kitchen science you know.

Hundreds of thousand of children died in hospitals in Iraq because world sanctions denied them basic medication. If Iraq could not even produce enough simple medication to meet it's own needs it is highly unlikely that they could produce WMD's on their own.

If there are any WMD's hidden in Iraq why have they not been used in subsequent terrorist attacks that are ongoing. Why are terrorist still using conventional weapons if they know where to find WMD's in their own country? If all of Saddams close aids are all facing the death penalty why have none of them come forward yet with information that might save their lives?

You might not wnat ot believe it becaue it does not suit you to believe it but THERE NEVER WHERE ANY WMD'S IN IRAQ during the period in question. The US and Germany only supplied a limited quantiy and they would have been used up in the 80's already. The Bush administration merely needed an excuse to start another war and there was no evidence to show that Saddam either supported or was involved with Al-queda in any way. Saddam was not playing some dangerous game when he said he did not have the weapons, he was telling the truth.

If he felt that there was a risk from Iraq why would he hide the fact that he had WMD's?

With regard to the answer above were j.p. said he was there when the US stockpiled WMD's; it is possible and reasonable that the US would have been able to both declare any weapons that they found and to also stockpile them, so don't believe what he says.

Answer 3

Let's take a look at somethings. It took a LONG time to allow the inspectors in to...inspect. They found nothing. Now, not long ago, several Russian MiG's were found BURIED in the desert. How many more are buried? Hussein could have hustled the WM D's out of the country or like the jets, he could have had them buried. These so called 'baby milk factories'! Those who believe that believe in the BM F's also believe in faeries sitting on toad stools and 'little people' living in the forest, the Easter bunny etc etc etc.
I agree with you whole heartedly.
The cowardly, worthless excuse for a human being was so GREAT, he had to hide in a HOLE! What a pathetic and fitting end to his reign of terror. Hiding like a rat!

Answer 4

The WMDs captured in Iraq were sent to Johnson Island where they were incinerated at the same facility we used to destroy our own stockpiles in the 1990s.

Until we were sure we had found them all - we kept the discoveries secret in order to ensure that Al Quaeda did not know that they were loose and unguarded in Iraq.

If you are not aware that we discovered over 500 chemical weapon warheads in Iraq - then you need to start paying attention.

BTW can you imagine any Democrat being willing to take the heat for "no WMDs" until the military told him they had all been found?

Answer 5

I've always believed that there is a very good chance the WMDs are in Iran...maybe Syria. Prior to the ramp-up of the war, there were signs that Hussein was moving stuff out. Our government probably has a pretty good idea where they are at, but since they can't prove it without going into the country to get them, they are not saying...because it would be too provocative.

Edit: I forgot to mention...I have a friend who is in the Army Corps of Engineers and his specialty is destroying biologics. He says that biologics are surprisingly very easy to destroy. Hussein could have had them dumped into the rivers prior to the attack. In fact, if you remember there were some traces of a biologic found along one of the rivers after we got there and started looking around.

Answer 6

I accept as true with the different posters, challenge is carried out. Saddam Hussein is removed from potential. besides the actual shown reality that it would want to were fantastic to discover the WMDs to smash them, a minimum of we carried out what we got down to do. it variety of appears like the sadistic evil dictator fans (Saddam) are going "nuts" with the thumbs down over some uncomplicated uncomplicated info that they are going to not in any respect ever, EVER admit to besides, what do you imagine?

Answer 7

They were most likely exported to other countries...I would say Syria is probably the most likely option. Hussein tried to hide some of his jet fighters by burying them in desert, so you never know where the WMDs might be hidden.

Answer 8

Stop your disillusion about WMDs. There were none. WMDs were simply Bush's Weapons of Mass Deception to justify his invasion of Iraq. I pity that you are now one of the deceived ones.

I've got a simple question for you. If there are indeed WMDs as you claim, why is it that the insurgents don't use them?. Considering the insurgent's total disregard of their own lives, and seeing the wholesale slaughter of their comrades in combat, would these insurgents hesitate to use WMDs to kill American troops?. And yet, not a single American soldier was ever killed by any WMD. If I'm an insurgent, why won't I use the most lethal weapons at my disposal (WMDs) to kill my enemies, instead of using crude car bombs and IED's?.

If you can give me a logical answer to my question, I will believe your claim that there are indeed WMDs.

Answer 9

They were there, we found them, and they are now in our inventory. I helped with the process....

The administration is very willing to take the public relations hit, when compared to the cost of developing these weapons. We saved billions.

Thanks Saddam.

Answer 10

they were transfered to iran by the shiaa millitia along with iraqi army tanks,afvs,trucks,transports,artellary.....and most of the other army equipments before the us army could reorganise itself and start the search after the occupation was compleated.
