But Freda.....

"According to Teribus, we went to war for no reason at all!!!"

Really Arne? Now when and where did I say that?

"And as he's explained over and over so well, Cheney and Dubya were absolutely positive that Saddam had nuttin' to do with terra-ism,"

Really Arne? Now then Arne what I have said is that the current US Administration have on numerous occasions between 11th September 2001 and the present day clearly stated that neither Saddam Hussein or the Iraq Government had any involvement in the attacks of 11th September, 2001. I have never ever said that the current US Administration believed that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with terrorism (don't know about terra-ism). It has been proven for quite some length of time that Saddam Hussein and the Ba'athist regime in power in Iraq were major sponsors of terrorist organisations.

As to "mushroom clouds" apparently Iraq's best known defendant was talking about them with his Foreign Minister in association with terrorist attacks in the US about twelve years ago. Any talk with regard to "mushroom clouds" was perfectly justifiable when taken in context with the 911 attacks and what the President stated in his State of the Union Address in January 2002.

Tell us Arne who was it that stated that there were unaccounted for chemical and biological weapons, stockpiles of weaponised agents, stockpiles of precursor chemicals in Iraq? You should have no trouble with that it is rather well documented, the source is impeccable, and even in their report of March/April 2003, still could not state that their position had significantly altered, again very well documented. A little hint Arne in answering those questions the names Bush and Blair do not feature, those of Blix, UN, UNSCOM and UNMOVIC on the otherhand do.

The objective of the exercise dating all the way back to the Resolutions agreed to at Safwan was to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems, and to verify that that was the case and that there were no development programmes in place targeted at resurrecting those capabilities.

You really should do a great deal more reading of primary source material, rather than rely on the highly spun sound bites fed you by sources you know will substantiate the view point that they originally planted in what passes for your brain.
