But there was always the risk that they might have been close to trying to acquire the means to possibly be able to build the equipment used to manufacture parts needed for potato-gun-launched smokebombs! There was no way we were ever going to let the idea of that even take seed in Saddam's mind!

Hah. Missed that.

Sure. While we're on the topic, exactly how many WMDs did the US claim were in Iraq in the Joint Resolution Authorizing the use of US armed forces in Iraq?

Would that be "zero"? Why yes. It would. Strawman much?

However, while the UN inspectors never said that there were constructed, usable, WMDs in Iraq (much less how many), they *did* say that Iraq showed no sign of abandoning its WND programs, and appeared to be actively working to conceal any data or material related to WMDs that they could.

Which facts, not surprisingly, *do* appear in said joint resolution.


In related news, there's no evidence that Hitler ever invaded Zimbabwe... So WW2 was unjustified!!!

If Clinton wasn't such a *********** president for 8 years Sadam would have been ousted sooner. It's understandable though. Which would you rather do; get a ******* from an intern or stand up to a dictator that funds terrorists?

So general consensus is that the UN is completely useless and ineffectual and should just be disbanded?

US to UN: "You're doing it wrong."

Gbaji please please please don't tell me you are trying to say that the American administration didn't state on many occasions during the lead up to GW2 that the reason they where going in was because:

Iraqi dictator must not be permitted to threaten America and the world with horrible poisons, and diseases, and gases, and atomic weapons.

Not even you are stupid enough to try and backtrack on that one.

Whereas Iraq both poses a continuing threat to the national security of the United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf region and remains in material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations by, among other things, continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability, actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability, and supporting and harboring terrorist organizations;

lets just examine this a little shall we.

continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability

No Iraq in 2002 had no Chemical or Biological weapons, no way to produce them and no way to deliver them.

actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability

Since it had no way to obtain or produce weapons grade material they where about as activly seeking it as I am.

supporting and harboring terrorist organizations

There is no evidence nor has there ever been any evidence linking the Hussain regime with terrorism, they where secular and Saddam would not permit them to use iraqi soil as he considered them a rival not an Ally.

Gbaji why do you have to use arguments that were disproven 2 years ago?

But but but he tried to buy yellow cake!
But but he was in contact with al-qaeda!

Why not claim that he was trying to buy sharks with frickin lasers on their heads? If you are going to make up **** that has been disproven you may as well be interested about it.

Why would I need to backtrack?

Note that the statement you italicized is "future tense". As in "we're going to prevent somethig from happening in the future".

But the "we didn't find WMDs" is "past tense" (arguably, present tense at the moment we invaded).

Those are *not* inconsistent things. No matter how many times people on the Left try to make them sound like they are. It's like your father saying "let's go to the tire store and buy new tires so that we don't get a flat". Then you go to the tire store, and buy new tires. Then after doing so, someone says "You didn't need to buy new tires, because the ones you had weren't flat!!!". (*cough* and then proceeds to prance around, sounding all proud of himself and chanting "there were no flat tires!!!" over and over as though it has some special meaning or something...).


See how that logic makes no sense? If the stated goal is to act before something bad happens, it's a bit silly to then say that the act was unjustified because the thing you were trying to prevent didn't happen...

WWII was justified in that, one day, Republicans would need it so they could keep saying "What if we just gave up after Normandy?!!" over and over in regards to any critique of the war dead.

For that reason alone, it was essential that we actually had a battle at Normandy. The rest of the war was just filler leading up to it and falling action giving it a nice conclusion.

Are you seriously arguing that he *didn't* try to buy uranium?


And people wonder when I argue that the whole smokescreen with Valerie Plame had to do with making sure people dind't realize that Joe Wilson's whole "debunk" was a sham...

Clearly, it worked on you because you bought the whole thing hook, line, and sinker.

Lol! You're kidding right?

I'm not evil! I only tried to sacrifice small children to the Dark Lord(tm)! See. Since I failed to do so, I'm not really a bad person... Really!


Did you stop and say that to yourself outloud before you wrote it down? Cause you really should have IMO...

OK. So when you have a bajillion troopers with fricken "Lazer Beam" helmets, you may be in a position to invade every country on planet earth.

Meanwhile, let's skip over your president and my Prime Minister saying that Saddam *did* have WMD, and acknowledge the fact that every nation on earth from China to Nowherestan is *trying* to acquire WMDs.

By the way. Those pants and that shirt don't go with that revolving bow tie

Which has nothing to do with the argument Nobby made.

He implied that failing to succeed at the evil thing makes you less evil. It does not. It just makes you less competant.

But if we did that, then you'd have no argument...


Maybe if you *make* the argument instead of kinda stepping around it and hoping that everyone will agree with you out of some Pavlovian training? Just a thought.

No, you're right you're not. You arn't smart enough to be evil.

Blofeld was evil. Darth Vader was evil. For all their 'evilness' they were smart too.

You on the other hand, are not smart.

Every time I read your posts relating to your 'heroes' illegal and disastrous attempts at remaking the ME in your own image, I get a mental image of you as a nodding dog on GWB's dashboard, stupidly nodding along to whatever comes your way.

Quote:

Unless you possess an ability to see into the future, only a noddy like yourself could see pre-emptively invading someone elses country on the vague and obviously false assumption that they might one day sometime in 'the future' be a problem, as a positive change in foreign policy.

And really dude, if you cant remember the endless statements by people in the administration, stating unequivically that Saddaam HAD WMD's, then you are in a state of denial that is at least equal to the one that your president is in......

Well, then take that up with Congress:

US Congress wrote:
Whereas Iraq's demonstrated capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction, the risk that the current Iraqi regime will either employ those weapons to launch a surprise attack against the United States or its Armed Forces or provide them to international terrorists who would do so, and the extreme magnitude of harm that would result to the United States and its citizens from such an attack, combine to justify action by the United States to defend itself;


Bush didn't write that. Or do I need to explain how the different branches of the US government work?

Everyone said that Iraq had WMDs. Everyone thought that Iraq had WMDs.

What's your point? Did we go to war because Iraq "had WMDs"? No. We didn't.

There's a difference between what people believe about a country, and what substantiated justifications are used to declare a war against that country. Leading up to WW2, you'll find loads of propaganda talking about the horrible "****" and how they are canibals and subhuman.

Guess what? That's not why we went to war with them either...
