Geof the Duck. Since you don't know a damn thing about me, I think that you show your political bias and ignorance by calling me a 'warmonger". I belong to that small fraternity of "Them what has been shot at" so I probably have a better onsight into just what war entails than you do.
As for the
progress" being madk by the inspectors, Saddam was playing them just like he played them for 12 long years;stall, stall, give a little crumb that's of litle consequence, and stall some more. In the meantime, keep up the secret programs. Let the inspectors find only what you want them to find. If they start to get close, accuse them of spying and stop "cooperating."
If you weren't so blinded by your own political agenda, you would have seen this. Go back and look at the past 12 years and see if what I have said isn't so.
We were no closed to Saddam's giving up his weapons the day the war started than we were 12 years ago when he signed the cease-fire agreement.
Saddam has claimed that he had no long-range Scuds, and yet two of the missiles that his forces have fired at Kuwait City have been identified as Scuds. The area from which they have to have been fired puts them in the proscribed category because of the range involved.
Saddam is a liar, a torturer. a murderer, and a danger to the world. Terrorists do not manufactuer the chemicals that make up their explosives. They buy them from people like Saddam. If he achieved nuclear capability, who's to say what havoc he would sow on the world stage?
As for this:"Troll and DougR
You warmongers just always seem happy to get people killed.
You don't give a toss who! " You are entitled to your opinion and I am intitled to mine.
And my opinion of you sir, is that you are a thorogoing ASS.
