Subject: BS: Why Iraq Was a Mistake, Teribus...
Well as a side-bar on the "Shoe Throwers" thread, the Iraq War has raised it's ugly head yet again with my ol' bud, Teribus, conviently dodging the realites surrounding the day leading up to George "The Decider" Bush making the worst decision of his presidency...

Here are the facts that T-zer won't acknowledge...

1. After the weapons inspectors were pushed out of Iraq in 1998, they we back shortly after UN Resolution 1441 of November 8, 2002 was adopted.

2. By January 27th, 2003, Hans Bliz gave a progress report to the UN in which he said:

"Iraq has on the whole cooperated rather well so far with UNMOVIC in this field. The most Important point to make is that access has been provided to all sites we have wanted to inspect and with one exception it has been prompt. We have further had great gelp in building up the infastructure of our office in Baghdad and the field office in Mosui. Arrangements and services for our plane and our helicopters have been good. The environment has been workable."

Then in Bliz's summation he says:

"We have now an inspection appartus that permits us to send multiple inspection teams every day all over Iraq, by road or by air. Let me end by simply noting that that capability has been built-up ina short time and which is now operating, is at the disposal of the Security Council."

These were the facts on the ground, T... We were told that the reason for invading Iraq was because it possessed WMDs yet Bush refused to accepth the fact that inspectors were there and the Iraqi's were coopertaing... You can blow and blow about 1441 but these were the facts...

Why Bush felt he had to invade will be up to armchair historians and psycologists but the fact did not warrent this war...

You and others refuse to accept the facts... You once challenged me to provide Hans Blix's actual words in the report and then right on back to your laundry list of irrelevent stuff that really has nothing to do with the facts on the ground on January 27, 2003...

I know that you won't eccept them now either becuase if you did then you would have to admit that you were wrong... You haver accused me of lieing in one of your recent posts but it isn't me who has trouble accepting the truth...

The above is the truth....

Now I hope that you and the other war-apologists will just accept the fact that you were wrong...
