Guest : Bet a lot of Iraqi citizens feel the coalition forces already fulfill that role quite well.

Bruce : Ok.

So it is ok for the Iraqis to feel that way, but not for me???

Either I am wrong, in which case, so are the Iraqis, or they are right , in which case so am I.

Read my posts- I NEVER said it was justified. I said that the feelings of the Iraqis, if justified, meant that my feelings were justified.

"Bet a lot of Iraqi citizens feel the coalition forces already fulfill that role quite well. " was what I was commenting on.

"Maybe you should see about a job in one of those prisons looking after Iraqi prisoners, you might be able to do things that make you feel better and I bet you would be able to justify it. "

No, I shall leave that to you, so you can sort out the Jews and let them be abused, and let all the Muslims go, since that seems your goal.

dianavan:

"I am astounded that beardedbruce (or anyone else for that matter) attempts to equate empty shell casings and one incident of sarin with stockpiles of WMD."

The empty shell casings were US.
The stockpile of empty WARHEADS were Iraqi.

"1. Saddam is no longer 'in charge' of Iraq. Blame those who are there to liberate and restore order. In other words, that was then and this is now. It is no longer Saddam's responsibility."

The warheads were found during the combat phase: They are examples of the weapons that the Iraqis had avaiable.

"2. Anyone can make sarin."

True- so the empty warheads were significant.

"3. Shell casings can be make to contain whatever ..."

Yes, BUT warheads for chemical weapons are different than ones for DP or HE. Shell casings are the containers that hold the powder used to propel the warhead.

"4. How many people have been killed in Iraq by weapons since the invasion of Iraq?"

By weapons? "

"1. An instrument of offensive of defensive combat; something
   to fight with; anything used, or designed to be used, in
   destroying, defeating, or injuring an enemy, as a gun, a
   sword, etc."



"I mean, cmon, if my child is killed; do I really care if its from a WMD or a bullet or a bomb? "

Nope. So when someone threatens you with such a killing, why do you not want to take steps to protect yourself?

"I'll say this much for Bush: he has definitely succeeded in scaring beardedbruce out of his wits"

No again- it is the terrorists who have attacked us, those who support them, and those who make excuses for them that scare me out of my wits. I grew up during the Cold war- we had drills where we would hide beneath our desks at school, in case of attack. I have faced the fact that the policy of the United States, of MAD, merely means that when I would be killed, a lot of the enemy would, as well. And the whole principle was based on the idea that the other side would value their own lives. In the present situation, while we still have the same deterrence, the other side seems willing to suffer far more than the damage they inflict- this is counter-survival, but it is deadly to us.

The BEST way to force this country into a dictatorship is to have an outside threat that cannot be reasoned with, cannot be stopped, and continues regardless of what we do- this allows a would-be dictator to assume vast "temporay" powers that threaten our way of life.

The problem is, all of us seem to have different ideas of how to stop the terrorists. Some seem to think that we should give them what they ask for, some that we should kill them all. One has to look at the consequences of one's opinions if one is incorrect: If I give them what they want, and they kill me (and my children, and your children...) anyway, how much better off am I?

Where you find a shell casing on a battlefield there is likely a projectile somewhere about. Armies seldom go to battle with empty shells.

Spent shell casings - the shell casing has no DP, the projectile has a core of it.

If the next Geneva Convention decides to ban DP, so be it. But for now, they are a little more effective than carpet bombing or nuclear weapons to destroy armour and fortified positions. And a lot more precise.

Depleted Uranium- the radiation level of my old watches is much higher- But I agree they may represent a long-term health risk. Not as much as enriched uranium in "devices", though.

What I was trying to say is there's a flaw in the concept "Weapons of mass destruction."

According to Our Leaders (& some posters) one malfunctioning sarin shell is a WMD; carpet bombing is not.

Don't see much logic in that.

As of today, May 19, 2004, 5:51 EST, the results of any more accurate (than the false-positive-prone) field screening of the supposedly sarin-armed IED have not been publicly reported. So, it is still to early to say it has been "confirmed".

Ah, but early on in the war, a STOCKPILE of empty shells for chemical weapons ( WMDs) was found, and all the anti-war folks said that that did not count, since there were no chemicals in them. Now we have the chemicals, and the line is that anyone could have made them.

You are absolutely correct Bruce! the shells are NOT filled with the chemicals UNTIL they are ready to be used. The reason for this is that they could go off and kill their own people.

The unmarked shell contained two inert chemicals meant to be mixed together when fired from a cannon. As an improvised explosive device, Kimmitt said, the weapon was "ineffective," and he said he doubted whoever had rigged it even knew it contained the potentially lethal chemicals.

Sarin is a WMD. the fact that the chemicals did not mix properly to kill hundreds or thousands does not mean it was not a WMD.


No stocks of banned weapons have turned up since the U.S. invasion.

Not yet; but Iraq was not suppoed to have ANY WMDs. So the fact that ONE has been found destroys the Iraqi claims that they did not have ANY WMDs. Iraq is about the size of California, and the troups can not dig up every square inch of the land. Hussein was gound in a 1 meter sized spider hole. weaponized Anthrax to fill a 5 pound bag of sugar would be enough to kill millions if it was released in populated cities like New York or Chicago. How many 5 pound bags of sugar could you hide in the state of California?

A Pentagon official told CNN that a single field test indicated the shell contained sarin and that a more definitive laboratory test had not been conducted. Initial field tests are often incorrect.

I am VERY well aware of false positives. I confronted false positives every day when I worked in the field of Computer Anti-Virus research.

I did not say anything the day the device was found, and the positive field test was reported.

When I wrote the message; another more accurate test HAD been performed, and CONFIRMED the device DID contain Sarin.

CNN military analyst Ken Robinson noted that more than 15,000 "false positives" for chemical weapons were registered during the first Gulf war."

That is true, and that is why I WAITED until the more accurate tests were performed that CONFIRMED Sarin.

Another indication, from today's Guardian, that this kind of thing was a lot more widespread and authorised than they are trying to make out Now Reuters reveal three journalists abused in Iraq. (You need to register to get to this part of the paper.)

And here's a story about how the former commander of Guantanamo Bay, General Baccus was sacked because he tried to stop illegal abuse of prisoners General's sacking cleared way for Pentagon to rewrite rules.

With Gen Baccus out of the way the command of Guantanamo Bay was given to Gen Miller, who is now in command of this kind of thing in Iraq:

...Gen Miller was appointed commander. Under his watch, Guantánamo instituted a "72-point matrix for stress and duress", which the Washington Post said set out a guide for the levels of force that could be applied to detainees. These included hooding or keeping prisoners naked for more than 30 days, threatening by dogs, shackling detainees in positions designed to cause pain, and extreme temperatures.

One malfunctioning shell doesn't make much of a WMD. The Spokane Spokesman-Review says,

"While the finding of (this shell) is notable it would take an arsenal of such shells to pose a meaningful military threat, arms policy experts said."

I recall a few months back someone in Spokane was accused of intending to poison his wife with the sarin he had made in his kitchen. I don't now how the trial turned out, but there was a fully functioning facility for manufacturing a WMD right here in River City. And the raw material: castor beans.

Don't wait for the UN; send the troops into Spokane now. Shock and awe, by God. Or shuck & jive, whichever.

But I don't think we ought to torture the guy that made it; just abuse him for a while. Leash & banana, like that. Before we convict him. And anyone else that don't look right.

Or we could go after Osama & maybe Kenny-boy Lay.

Unless of course we have some of those well-known Other Priorities.

From CNN 5/18/04:

"Chemicals in artillery shell tested

The Iraq Survey Group was conducting tests on an artillery shell believed to have been loaded with the chemicals needed to create the nerve agent sarin.

The 155 mm artillery shell exploded Monday before it could be disarmed. It had been found Saturday near the Baghdad airport.

Kimmitt said U.S. troops who found the device showed "minor traces of exposure" to sarin, but they were quickly treated and released.

The unmarked shell contained two inert chemicals meant to be mixed together when fired from a cannon. As an improvised explosive device, Kimmitt said, the weapon was "ineffective," and he said he doubted whoever had rigged it even knew it contained the potentially lethal chemicals.

His CIA was hand-in-bloody-glove with Al Qaeda, his military is riddled with militant Islamists, his madrasas teach hatred of the West, his heroes are Napoleon and Hitler, and he not only has nukes... he's threatened to use them.

Just shades of grey, Two_Bears.

Sadamm Hussein used to do that, Two_bears.

Is the sky blue in your world?

1. Saddam Hussein paid $25,000 to the families of Palestinian homicide bombers.

2. Saddam Hussein allowed an Al Qaeda terrorist training camp to operate in Iraq.

3. Saddam Hussein permitted Palestinian terrorists to train in Iraq.

You simply do not get it.

Interesting in retrospect, that one of the more common quips amongst the Iraqis on the streets of Baghdad, after the Americans rolled in was, "Out goes the apprentice, In comes the master".

Diana; There is another solution; so the religion of Islam to stand up and arrest or kill the terrorists that act in the name of the Islam religion.

As long as we view this conflict as primarily religious, there will be no solution. The public perception of Bush, the crusader against Muslim's who want to erradicate the infidels is a situation where nobody wins and thousands of innocents will die.

This is not a war of "Christianity" against Islam.

This is a war of Muslim Terrorists against the rest of the world.

9/11 was an act of war on America and the rest of the civilized world, by murderous thugs

There IS a solution. Arrest or kill the Muslim terrorists that are trying to hijack the religion of Islam!

Similar problem with the "christians" in the current U.S. administration (and their supporters) who believe it is acceptable to kill anyone that doesn't agree with THEM.

Extremists of ANY faith are dangerous.

I remember Pat Robertson (if I am not mistaken) said about 4-5 years ago that people that saw UFOs should be stoned.

There have been some "Christian" fundamentalists that have killed abortionists. Those nut cases should be charged, tried, and convicted (if they did it)

I am pro life, and abortion and expecially partial birth abortion makes me ill. However; Abortion is legal, and people that break the law should be punished. All I can do is protest against abortion, and educate others in hopes they will see how evil to murder an unborn child that COULD be born as a premie, and adopted.

Are there times I would accept abortions? yes.

1. rape
2. incest

But only in the first trimester.

3. If the mother's life or health was at risk.

after receiving a second opinion. No ONE doctor should be given the authority to decide if an unborn child lives or dies.

When the "Christian" extremists start killing people; I will be in favor of sending them to prison or killing them too.

The Muslim Terrorists are murderous thugs that have NO respect for life. That have already killed more than 3000 Americans on 9/11.

Muslim terrorists have killed hundreds of thousands or millions of human beings around the world in America, Africa, Israel, Bali, and many more!
