So. WHEN did Saddam threaten the USA with WMD?

[Fire Walk With Me]

This question was posed in "Control Room" and I can't think of a time. During Bush War 1 or afterward. Mmmm.

Richard Clark, in Fahrenheit 9/11 DID say, they wanted to do something about Iraq prior to entering office. Mm Hmm.

1. I don't think he ever did

[htuttle]

2. Never

[geek tragedy]

3. Never. eom

[JVS]

4. Never. How sneaky of him!

[Inland]

5. I think he threatened INVADING TROOPS with WMD.

It's a case of kicking the dog and when it snaps, saying, "see, the dog is vicious, it tried to bite me."

[Bridget Burke]

6. But when troops invaded--no WMD's!

Surprise, surprise.

[Inland]

8. Well, a threat doesn't mean it can happen, and besides

once the US has already killed a few dozen civilians trying to kill Saddam, and invaded the country, and are going to hunt him down no matter WHAT he says, I'm not surprised the threat cam. If it came. My memory is fuzzy.

10. Didnt he still have them during GW I. I thought he got rid of them

after when the inspectors were there.

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. He had a few "scud" missiles, many of which failed to detonate.

The only fear was of his luring Isreal into the conflict.

[RaleighNCDUer]

14. He threw a few scuds at Israel, but didn't put WMD warheads on

them - probably cuz he recognised that if he dropped sarin in Tel Aviv, the Israelis would drop a nuke on Baghdad.

He's stupid, but not crazy. Or visa versa. Maybe he's both, but even stupid and crazy, he knows that the US does not have any real control over what the Israelis do.

7. Whenever Condi said so, so trust her

9. why do you hate freedom?

All of these questions have been answered. What's REALLY important is finding Natalie in Aruba....

[OneTwentyoNine]

12. Right after guys returning from VN duty got spit on by protesters....

Sounds ridiculous but its the same ole' Repuke PROPAGANDA just 35 years later.They manipulate the idiots in this country with crap like that and they just eat it up. SH never EVER threatened the US with the use of WMD. HELL,how would he have delivered the package in quantities large enough to do any real damage. Nothing but Bullshit over and over....

[Skidmore]

13. Only in the joint psychotic episodes of the neocon

mind.

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. Ask your friends at FR, WHEN did Saddam threaten the US with WMD.

SOMEONE has to have an answer. I mean, Bush went into detail about Saddam's weapons, capable of reaching the US, over and over and over, and invaded the hell out of Iraq because of it. Certainly, Saddam must have threatened SOMEONE at SOME POINT.

Right.

[OneTwentyoNine]

16. No... don't just ask,make them PROVE it

Make those ass-wipes dig up some links from REAL news sources,not some shit from FR,FOX and other RW outlets.

[Skidmore]

17. What?

Am I being accused of being a Freeper? If so, you are way off base and I demand an apology.

[truthisfreedom]

18. i seem to remember him banging his shoe and screaming "we will bury you!"
