Thread Name: BS: Falluja
Subject: RE: BS: Falluja
No one has said that Iraq bombed the towers. That is a stupid , knee-jerk response aimed at ridiculing serious question as to the threat to the US presented by Iraq.


The information from the British and US intelligence sources indicated a capability for WMD. The UN inspectors could never show that the EXISTING material was not hiddn somewhere in Iraq, because of Saddam's refusal to comply with the UN resolutions. The Russians indicated that they had information that Iraq was supplying WMD materials to terrorist groups that intended to attack the US.

IF the rest of the world did not believe that Iraq had the WMD materials they had claimed, and the UN could not account for, WHY did NONE of the nations ( like France and Germany, who were profiting off of the "oil for food" and also by violations of the UN sanctions that they claimed would solve things) EVER just insist that SADDAM comply with the resolutions, or even open his borders?

THEN there would have been no conflict. But in fact, those countries, and the misguided individuals who insisted that the US NOT enforce the resolution ( that gave "one last chance" to Saddam to come clean) ENCOURAGED Saddam to not comply, and are a contributing cause of the US attack and the many deaths.

If you read the reports, there are no WMD in Iraq now. As for the possible ones there earlier, and where they might be now, the report indicates that there is not enough information to determine if they exist, or where they might be. NOT that they were not there. But of course, it is sooooooooooo boring to actually try to find out the facts, when there is a party line that one can just parrot, and make fun of anyone who questions.
