Where Are All The W.M.D.s?

In the Beginning
In 1992, Paul Wolfowitz, then-under secretary of defense for policy, supervised the drafting of the Defense Policy Guidance document. Wolfowitz had objected to what he considered the premature ending of the 1991 Iraq War. In the new document, he outlined plans for military intervention in Iraq as an action necessary to assure "access to vital raw material, primarily Persian Gulf oil" and to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and threats from terrorism.

First off, WTF is Pridian existance?

Secondly, If you mean that "it existed once, that doesn't mean it still exists", I would ask how can you know?

Did aliens beam the weapons to another planet?

We have evidece that Iraq had both biological and chemical weapons from both eye witness accounts and UN inspections. Do you agree with that?

Iraq can not provide proof that they have destroyed those weapons, nor can we prove that they have not. If neither side can show wat happened to them, then where are they?

Explain to me why that is "the most inherently flawed sets of logic I have ever seen."? Especially after reading some of the other stuff around here.

France Germany, Russia and Who?

France, being a permanent member on the security council can effectively halt any resolution brought before the security council all by itself. I assume you know that, and realize that by France saying they would veto any additional resolutions, there was no sense in even submitting it.

I personally believe that they belived that there were WMDs. I also happen to think that this was not their primary motivation but was used to give a legal pretext.

Perhaps the simplest thing is to say there is no logic, which is why this endless discussion. It just goes on and on.

This is how I see it...in simple terms.

The cops came in and beat the **** out of Bob, and while they were there, spotted a whole bunch of **** that Bob had that he shouldn't have had.

During this time, Bob has beat his kids, tortured his wife, and killed the dog. The cops are aware of this, but don't feel the need to do anything about it.

The now that he hasn't gotten rid of the stuff he was supposed to, and they are tired of watching him beat his kids.

Finally, this portion of the police dept (US,UK, etc) decide that they are going to do something about it, but they know that the other cops are not going to be so willing to go over to Bob's house without some convincing. So, they go on TV and say that Bob has a baseball bat in the top counter drawer next to the coffee pot, and he has a bottle of Acid under the sink, next to the drain-o, and he has a machete in the basement by the dryer, and he has a loaded .45 in the bedroom under his pillow.

Well, Bob watches this TV show and realizes that a **** storm is coming his way. He knows he won't have much time, but he does have some time so, at night, he has an unidentified friend come over and all the stuff that the cops mentioned on TV disappears.

Well, The cops that are fed up decide to take action, but, not immediate action, first they park their cars in front of Bob's house with the lights on, and then they set up barricades, and they wait for a bit while the rest of the cops figure out if they are going to help, meanwhile, Bob hasn't shown one thing to the cops to make them leave, hasn't even shown his face in the window. Well, the cops finally barge in and lo and behold, the stuff he was supposed to have is gone! They then have to start looking for it, but while they do, the other cops are yelling at them and complaining and trying to do their job as well.

Ok, a bit long I know, but I kind of got into it. I will not respond to a simple break down of what I have written, as this is what I think and that is that. Maybe I have given you some insight, maybe I have given you a laugh, whatever. Also, I am on my wifes "natural" keyboard so ignore any spelling errors.

Reinvent it, Craven? Its more like rebrand it. Something along the lines of "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. Past performance is no indicator of future intentions".


I mean doesn't it strike anyone as a bit of a 'happy' coincidence that the nation with a third of the world's cars just invaded the nation with a third of the world's oil? Like the fish in a milkchurn, not evidence on its own, but it can't be ignored.
