That stuff been around since WW1-2

That shit was accounted for and already known about.Because either we sold the stuff to saddam or knew who did,what and how much.

What the noe-con liars were selling was a story that saddam was going to get nukes,soon, and drop one on us or on one of our friends.

There was never any evidence to support that conclusion.

No, we are not talking about nuclear weapons. Sadam's chief nuclear scientist said he did want them and he helped keep Sadam from getting them. The post is talking about chemical and biological weapons. Keep to the subject at hand. No side-tracks allowed. <grins> Go back and read posts mentioning WMD's in this forum. See how many people have claimed there were none ever found and it was all a lie.

Be well....

Please tell us oh wise and wonderful conservatives, which one was the LIE??  One of them has to be.  Sort of like the old conundrum "Two men say they're Jesus, one of them MUST be wrong.

First of all, there is far more than one Jesus alive, check any phone book. They aren't lying; their parents might have been, but they aren't.

Second, I'm not a conservative; and though I've met Gen. Powell, and find him to be a very intelligent man, I don't consider him infallible.

But in my skeptical and non-conservative opinion, those two samples you quoted prove not a damned thing about anything. Troll harder, dude.

Why shouldn't it? The political allies of Jesus got us into this thinly veiled religious war.

Greetings all....

As the subject line says, I expected this news story to already be a hot topic over here. I see there is one selective topic out of the general Wikileaks info dump but I also expected this one to come up.

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/10/wikileaks-show-wmd-hunt-continued-in-iraq-with-surprising-results/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29

It seems what some returning Iraq War vets told me was true after all and the conventional wisdom and great shouting about the topic here and elsewhere was wrong. This is one of those places where I put more trust in the people who said, I was there and this is what I saw and did over those who agenda didn't match reality.

One last thing. Picking and choosing which part of those documents to believe or deny just doesn't cut it with me. If you can compare other equal sources and show problems, that is one thing but no blanket denials just because one part doesn't fit your ideology.

Be well all.....
