Maybe we do know where the WMDs are and are keeping them under surveilance so we can track them. Or wait for some big fish to attempt to retrieve them. There's a lot going on in Iraq that we are unaware of. If we put our every move on TV for the enemy to see we will never catch them. The element of surprise will be non existent.

"There's a lot going on in Iraq that we are unaware."

I think this action is outside of Iraq...Pakistan, Afghanistan and who know where else.

There's something that's been bothering me since this guy was arrested. If he was selling them - rather, the tech and equipment - to Iran and Lybia, why not Saddam too? Ideological thing? Or DID he sell the stuff to Saddam too?

Honestly, Saddam has always been more of a Biblical Plague kinda guy...he was interested in nukes yes, but leery of technology. He doesn't understand it very well. Therefore, I was less worried about him and nukes than other countries...BUT...if he could aquire a working product, he probably would have. So yeah, this bothers me.

Guys,

You seriously believe the pres is taking these hits which not only are lowering his poll numbers but also demoralizes the military to say "ha ha I told you so?" I don't think so.

I believe Iraq had wmd's. I think they're either buried or in Syria and Iran or even Malaysia or Chechnya. I believe Iraq was tied into the first WTC bombing. I believe W had no choice but to go into Iraq EVEN IF there were no wmd's there. We couldn't risk that there were. This is what makes me furious with the RNC - their inability to remind everyone that we went into Iraq based on their multiple ties to terrorism and their repeated stalling of weapons inspectors. Everyone including Hans Blix thought the weapons were there. What else could a president do but what President Bush did? To have not gone would have been irresponsible.

Meanwhile, re:Mansoor - I'd like to believe him, but he continues to be all hat and no cattle. Therefore, I'll keep him on my "take it with a grain of salt" list for now.
