GUEST,Oldguy BS: Why I support disarming Iraq (161* d) RE: BS: Why I support disarming Iraq 25 Feb 03

Fionn:

Are you including the 100+ al-Samoud 2 missiles that violate UN resolutions?
Are including the R400 bomb "found" today by the Iraqis?

The only thing I see that is "pathetic" is the conditions that the people live under. Money from oil sales that is supposed to spent on the people is diverted to buy weapons. Some of them violate UN resolutions so Saddam buys them clandestinely, at greater expense, and smuggles them in.
For example Saddam paid 10 times the going price for the fabled aluminum tubes. If these were not for a proscribed purpose, why were they smuggled in?

Then there are the palaces, 50 at last count, that are built at huge expense.

I do not like the fact that companies in many countries including Russia, France, Germany, the UK and even The US supplied these weapons to Iraq. I think the UN should be involved in preventing that too.
