Thread Name: BS: Where are the WMDs?
Subject: RE: BS: Where are the WMDs?
I doubt any of you have cared for a relative who has been exposed to any of these WMD's. I and my family have. From an eye socket that needed scabbing removed daily to body ulcerations that required gold leaves to control to hospitalization for periods up to 7 years at a stretch, it is not an enviable life. Nuclear fallout is easier to deal with than the persistant chemical agents many countries hang on to. Saddam's willful, exclusive (since WW1) and willing use of these agents and the stockpiles of the precursers he so carefully failed to account for were primary reasons for the action to remove him from power. The failure to meet the requirements of prior UN mandates invoked the automatic return to a state of war without additional UN declarations. The US and GB asked for but did not need any further authorization for the actions undertaken.
Of the four countries to block additional mandates were China(suppliers of the fiber optic nexus for military control), the Russians(suppliers of forbidden shoulder fired antiaircraft missiles), the Germans(busily building heavily reinforced bunkers) and the French (suppliers of 36+ forbidden ground to air missile types). I believe that the US and GB should print all (including any of their own) corporate and government evidence found in Iraq exposing the illegal business ties that helped Saddam continue his regimes repressive ways for so long. Let those with something to hide be called to the dock for their actions.
