If it takes thousands of years to find buried city's in the middle east ?

Question

Why do Intelligent people think W.M.D.s in Iraq should be uncovered yesterday?

Answer 1

Please do not bring logic into the argument, the liberals are low on their meds.

Answer 2

Buried cities are a little bit harder to find than WMDs because no one knows where to look for them... there are no witness living to tell us about where these cities are buried but with WMDs we can talk to people who worked in Saddam's government and military and get an idea as to were any WMDs might be hidden... we can also look at government records captured during the invasion to look for WMDs where as ancient texts are much less reliable, if for no other reason than the fact that the geography of the land has changed since the city was lost...your argument is invalid, ancient lost cities and WMDs hidden within the last decade just aren't the same thing...

Answer 3

Well the real reason is not the lack of finding what they are looking for, but more along the lines of making the current adm. look dumb for at least trying to protect its citizens. See this way they can blame everything current and future on Bush. If we have a small nuclear blast in say LA a year after the left takes office, then instead of looking at it as they failed to keep us safe, they will say, see, if bush had not caused so much pain and misery in Iraq they would have never done this. its a win, win, for the defeatists.

Answer 4

I believe there were WMD's in IRAQ but I am not sure you present an intelligent source of reasoning as to why we havent found them. I still beileve they were moved to Syria or Iran before the invasion. I dont think we will ever know. But the entire world's intelligence service believed they existed. Including the dopey French.

Answer 5

It doesn't take 1000's of years to find those cities (note plural spelling)... Merely the "lost" cities are 1000's of years old.

Modern materials that may be buried can be easily located using geophysical techniques such as GPR (Ground penetrating radar), seismic reflection (looking for discontinuities is sediment layers), and simple gravimetric deviation, among others...

Anyway, that is what "intelligent" folks would suggest...

Answer 6

Ever wonder who ask Indiana Jones with Raiders of the Lost Ark to keep on digging up graveyards?
Luke 9.60
Ask the little children playing computer games with communication problems on the WMD in making a mess out there with ghostly stories.

Answer 7

They are just repeating what they hear in the media.

Sadam was smarter than to develop WMDs in Iraq with inspections going on. It has been shown by Yosef Bodansky that Sadam shipped 2000 scientists and engineers from the "Iraqi Navy" to Libya, to work on the nuclear program there. After Sadam was captured in 2003, Kadafi decided the program was a liability to him and gave it up. It was more advanced than anyone had guessed.

Answer 8

if we're meant to believe that the WMDs were buried thousands of years ago, you might have a somewhat valid point.

personally, i don't rule out ancient cultures having technology that was advanced far beyond the current archeological consensus (like ICBMs, chemical weapons, and whatnot), but i doubt that the 'there's still WMDs in iraq' crowd feels the same.

Answer 9

Because those cities are buried under yards or hundreds of feet of sand, which makes the not accessible.

You cannot bury weapons or devices under that much sand and still expect to get at them when you need them. Thus, there must be doors and tunnels -- not just sand.

Answer 10

I'm not understanding your comparison. They won't find the WMDs because they aren't there. Are you saying they buried so deep it will take a team of archaeologists to find them?
