Thread Name: BS: WMDs, Iran and Bush
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs, Iran and Bush
...Bush forgot the "if" in his October 23rd speech where he said: "Iran is pursuing the technology that could be used to produce nuclear weapons and ballistic missles of incereasing range that could deliver them"... Hmmmmmm, so much for the "if defense" here...

I presented the evidence that IRAN HAS been pursuing the technology that could be used to produce the ballistic missiles, and that the continued production of enriched weapons grade fissionable material is obviously aimed at "could be used to produce nuclear weapons"

So still no lie. Unless you have a peaceful use for weapons grade fissionable materials? They are too enriched to use in reactors, and would have to be diluted back down for peaceful use.



"Saddam and the Iraqi governemnt were allowing Hanz Blix to inspect wherever they wanted..."

NOT according to the report to the UN by Blix that was required under 1441- the LAST chance for that cooperation.


So, Bobert, is that you final answer???

Seems that your arguments come up short of reality!!!

I know...Danged!!! But when you have something to refute what * I * have stated, feel free to present it.



So, after he sees the preperations for intervention by force, Saddam stated that he would then allow the inspections that he had been required to allow for the previous 12 years and failed to allow. Do you believe that he would have allowed them, once the threat of force had been removed?
