rulemylife: I did refute it and I challenged him to provide proof of his statements NEGATIVE, you've yet to refute anything I said with a logical, reasoned, argument backed by facts. I have provided facts to what I said here, on other threads on this message board, as well as on other message boards. As for providing proof for my statement, where's yours? You've given me nothing but rhetoric and biased opinions. From a Fox News article: "Two people were treated for "minor exposure" after the sarin incident but no serious injuries were reported. Soldiers transporting the shell for inspection suffered symptoms consistent with low-level chemical exposure, which is what led to the discovery, a U.S. official told Fox News. "The Iraqi Survey Group confirmed today that a 155-millimeter artillery round containing sarin nerve agent had been found," Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt (search), the chief military spokesman in Iraq, told reporters in Baghdad. "The round had been rigged as an IED (improvised explosive device) which was discovered by a U.S. force convoy." Further down the article: "Two weeks ago, U.S. military units discovered mustard gas that was used as part of an IED. Tests conducted by the Iraqi Survey Group (search) -- a U.S. organization searching for weapons of mass destruction -- and others concluded the mustard gas was "stored improperly," which made the gas "ineffective." Regardless of what you feel about Fox News, it contains facts. The Iraqi Survey Group, verified that those were chemical agents. Whether the mustard gas was stored properly or not is beside the point. It's a chemical agent, which is one of three major types of WMD, which proves the myth, that Iraq had no WMD, wrong. The recent blister agent laced attack, I saw the reports that I saw. rulemylife: Haven't seen him on his own thread since. First, don't ever imply that I'll run from an argument simply because of something that you, or someone else that I've argued with, has said or done in a debate against me. A simple check of the threads I've debated on, on this message board, will indicate that I don't run from a debate... but stay with it until the people I debate with wisen up about their prospects. Second, I haven't been on any other thread here, so can it with your attempts to pin me as a coward running away from my own thread... "while participating on other threads" here. rulemylife: According to him there has been active chemical warfare occurring since the start of the invasion. Show me WHERE, in MY posts, I've stated that there's active chemical warfare occurring in Iraq since the start of the invasion. Provide a link to that post where I said the exact thing. Isolated incidents don't constitute active chemical warfare, however they present a factual argument against the misconception that Iraq had "no" WMD. rulemylife: So if your theory is correct then the liberally-biased mainstream media should have been jumping all over that story to tarnish Bush. No, his observations on the media are spot on. The criminally biased media has tried to baffle the people with bullshit about Iraq "not" having WMD. Those incidents prove their opinion, of there being "no" WMD, wrong. No, they won't be all over a story that'd vindicate George Bush's argument. However, they'll be all over a story they know they could use in their augments against Bush/Republicans rulemylife: The yellowcake has been discredited so many times it just amazes me that I'm still hearing it. Do you ever research anything or do you just listen to what you are told by the conservative talking heads? You know the old computer programming saying, garbage in-garbage out? From your own link: "The yellowcake removed from Iraq in 2008 was material that had long since been identified, documented, and stored in sealed containers under the supervision of U.N. inspectors." How could yellowcake have been discredited when your own source, biased as it is, mentioned the fact that yellowcake was removed from Iraq in 2008, as RacerJim stated? It helps if you research your own sources.
