1. Then it would prove us wrong
I'm willing to say I'm wrong if they do find it. That was my whole rationale for going into war really.

25. How would the mere presence of WMD justify the invasion?
Should we invade EVERY country that possess WMD? Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they did find some chemical or biological weapons, but it certainly wouldn't prove imminent threat.

2. They still lied.
They said they knew where the WMD was (they didn't). That it was ready to go (obviously it isn't) and that Hussein was going to use it (I would have thought that with his life in peril, that would have been the perfect time to use it). Finding the WMD (which I beieve there is) doesn't negate the fact that Bush Inc. lied to the world to get into this war.

4. P.S. They WILL find WMD.
You can count on it. About two months before the election they will suddenly come upon WMD. The time frame is the only doubt I have (one month or two months before the election).

12. Think about what you're thinking
You may be just believing the hype ...

Is this likely:

That there may WMD in Iraq yet none have been used despite 25-30 attacks a day?

That people will jump out of their skin screaming "This stuff we found a year and a half after we invaded them because the threat was so dire ... why, it could have been my little Johnny!"

I question whether potential Bush voters will care by then ... they'll be rejoicing or cursing the SC's decision on "under god" ...

We'll still have a problem with jobs ...

6. I still won't admit it was necessary.
I don't think Saddam was idiotic enough to be involved in attacking the US. He knew lots of folks were just looking for an excuse to finish the job on him.

10. TOTALLY
Edited on Tue Oct-28-03 04:08 AM by La_Serpiente
If I were attorney general, I would prosecute EVERYONE that is in PNAC.

Al Sharpton for Attorney General

I like the sound of that.

21. Closing shop? No. That http error means they're more popular than ever
I betcha five years ago the only people downloading stuff from that website were the core members. Now everyone's got to have a little PNAC to go with their Halloween decor.

Liberals like to slam it.
Conservatives like to fantasize about it.
Moderates get their browsers redirected there when someone cracks their favorite porno site.

PNAC: a little bit of something for everyone.

16. Al Sharpton for Attorney General!
Its time to get politicians/lawyers out of the top posts of our Government. Too many damn laws being passed, too many damn laws not being enforced. Al Sharpton would enforce the laws and alot of good old boy white boys would be where they belong behind bars. I'm sick and tired of todays judicial system and Sharpton couldn't make it worse, in fact would equal it out. IMHO

13. What we would say is.........
......what we have been saying since April.

"Bush (and Blair and Howard and Powell etc.) you lying prick. You led us to believe that Iraq was bristling with WMD's, poised to wreak death and destruction on us (& UK and Australia).

"Mushroom clouds over Manhattan" you said. Enough Anthrax and VX to kill millions you said. If we don't stop Saddam now, he could kill thousands of Americans you said.

It was bullshit then...........it's bullshit now."

evidence.

18. consider this
it has been reported that there are large caches of conventional weapons that have been found, and are pretty much unguarded - free for anyone with a mind to pick them up and use them

If conventional weapons are just "laying around" - and there are still "Saddam supporters" out there - doesn't it stand to reason that if there are any WMD's that the "saddam supporters" would know where they are and would be using them by now?

Saddam used WMD's against his own people - so I doubt that his "supporters" would have any moral qualms about using WMD's against our forces and/or Iraqi civilians...if they had them

So far it's just been homemade bombs, car bombs and conventional weapons that have been used - no gas, chemical, biologicial or nukes

7 months after the initial invasion and we haven't found WMDs, nor have they been used.... the only way WMDs will be "found" is if Whistleass Inc. did some planting

19. say...
I wonder what happened to all those posters who kept uttering dire warnings about "going after Bush on the war and WMD" - remember all those predictions that we'd find WMD "any day now"?

Hmmmm.

22. If Iraq has WMD, why havenÕt they used it on the US?
Edited on Tue Oct-28-03 04:47 AM by Bushknew
If they had WMD they would have used them by now.

This administration is fucked.

I donÕt see how they can turn around the US economy and/or Iraq.

They have no rabbit or hat.

24. I would say
"So what?, big deal, who cares"

The only valid reason for the invasion and occupation of Iraq is absolute proof of an imminent threat to the US. Anything less then that is irrelevant.

The US troops with special forces and CIA agents is in Iraq since April 1st!! Top Iraqis are in jail or under control with no interest to lie !! Thousands of archives have been studied !! If the WMDs existed, they would have been found a long time ago.

29. It's obvious ...
Edited on Tue Oct-28-03 09:47 AM by MI Cherie
... if they turn up now, they were planted. Expect them to find something just before the election.

I do not doubt that they were there. Perhaps they were destroyed by Clinton. Perhaps they were smuggled out during the long big talk build-up.

Agreed: The only valid reason for the invasion and occupation of Iraq is absolute proof of an imminent threat to the US. Anything less than that is irrelevant.
