Then I want Kana to come back and tell me about troops being gassed.
I want Kana to come back and tell me about the evidence that WMD's exist.
Or I will take the word of any other poster I know here.
I respect Aylee, she isn't a blow hard.
Jeff, while I have not really kept up with all the news stuff in the last couple of years, I think that the WMD's found were:
1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium (yellowcake but not THE yellow cake)
1,500 gallons of chemical weapons agents
17 chemical warheads containing cyclosarin (a nerve agent five times more deadly than sarin gas)
Over 1,000 radioactive materials in powdered form meant for dispersal over populated areas Roadside bombs loaded with mustard and "conventional" sarin gas, assembled in binary chemical projectiles for maximum potency
On July 7, 2004, the BBC reported U.S. forces seized 1.77 tons of bomb-grade uranium. On the same day, the BBC reported that materials were found which were “ideal for a radioactive dirty bomb.” (actually it was yellowcake but not of a grade for making dirty bombs)
On July 2, 2004, the BBC reported that Polish General Dukaczewski was responsible for the purchase of 17 chemical warheads containing cyclosarin, a nerve agent five times more deadly than sarin gas. The warheads had been buried in the desert, but a cash-hungry informant sold them to Polish troops for $5,000 each. (granted the nerve agent had deteriorated.)
Also, there were reports of Russian tanks removing "things" from Iraq before the invasion.
The other issue is that many of these weapons are no longer in a shape to be used as weapons. This is why there are conflicting reports on whether or not WMDs have been founf in Iraq. The answer is really both yes and no.
Sorry that I cannot help more.
