For the past 25 years when Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, why did Saddam Hussein not use those weapons of mass destruction against the US or Israel, or hand them over to the Al-Qaeda terrorists or the terrorists in the west bank, even though during the past 25 years, on and off, the following were done which angered and humiliated Saddam Hussein
(1) Israel destroyed Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactors in the 80s
(2) Through the Iran-Contra scandal, the US supplied arms to Iran in the Iran-Iraq war in the 80s
(3) In the 90s, the US ousted Saddam Hussein from Kuwait
(4) In the 90s, The US openly encouraged the Iraqi Kurds and Shittes to rebel against Saddam Hussein and overthrow him from power and in this case, he did not even use his weapons of mass destruction against the rebellious kurds and shiattes
(5) In the 90s, Saddam Hussein's palaces were destroyed by the US
(6) In the 90s, the CIA made several assassination attempts on Saddam Hussein
(7) In the 90s, the US prevented Saddam Hussein's planes from flying in the no-fly zone
(8) In the 90s, the US had crippling economic sanctions on Iraq
(9) Throughout the 90s, the US periodically bombed Iraq which resulted in massive property damage and the deaths of thousands of Iraqis including relatives of Saddam Hussein
(10) Throughout the 90s, the US systematically decimated almost the entire air defense systems of Saddam Hussein
(11) In 2003, a decapitating attack on Saddam by the US tried to kill Saddam Hussein and his sons
(12) In 2003, Saddam Hussein was ousted from power in Iraq
(13) In 2003, Saddam Hussein's sons and his 14 year old grandson were brutally killed by the US
So even though the US and Israel for the past 25 years have angered and humiliated Saddam Hussein, why did Saddam Hussein not use his weapons of mass destruction against Israel or the US or hand them over to the Al-Qaeda terrorists or the terrorists in the west bank, these past 25 years ?
I'm personally of the opinion that we HAVE found some there, and have kept it under wraps for military or strategic reasons that are beyond me at this point. I have a relative who was over there and said that they were found... and back home, we couldn't understand why the administration was not refuting the claims that none existed. Maybe it's because our intelligence knew that once the lie was exposed, the enemy would be more prone to use them.

Or maybe it would incriminate some other countries we don't want to publicly point fingers at right now. Maybe GWB is holding his cards real close and letting them wonder and sweat.
Are there any other kind?
| Hadn't thought of that angle... scary.... isn't it? |
hahaha! :^DYou always make the greatest pics.
Hey, if I could see what I am shooting at, then I am too close.
I need F.O.[foreward observer] & an F.D.C.[fire direction control] to aim properly!
Holy Cow!.... just imagine if Kerry had won, and was brought into confidence on matters such as these in preparation for his taking office in January. THAT would have been Really Scary!... (i'm trying to imagine the look on his face during his first intelligence briefings) Kerry: "Ummm... uhhhh... you mean the media has been lying all this time???"

The image that comes to mind is 'deer in headlights'. Thank God GWB won.
Simple.
It wasn't in the puppet masters' script.
And/or God didn't allow it.
Werner von Braun asserted in 1974 that after the Soviet Union quit being the boogey man; they were going to schedule a war on terror; then a war on Iraq.
After that--from Werner's perspective--an unnecessary and dangerous war on ET's in space. He, imho, incorrectly construed ALL ET's as benign.
Alternately . . .
He DID transfer such weapons to terrorists
but the puppet masters have not authorized their use quite yet.
The "true hero" picture is awesome! And so true. Thanks
Besides, the C-130s are coming in.
Do your homework, robin. YOu were wrong on virtually all 13 counts, sometimes on substance, but always on biased spin of each charge and choice of adjectives: we did not "brutally kill" Uday and Qusay , we just killed them so they'd stay dead. And considering how "new" you are, I think those of us who have been here for years, can safely assume that fully HALF the newbies have entered our waters like invaders and are here only to cause trouble and to take advantage of our largesse and tolerance. People like you ask your 13 questions AS IF YOU ARE THE FiRST PERSON EVER TO ASK THEM. In fact, we've all asked and answered them tens of thousands of times, and it gets VERY TIRESOME to have to keep doing it over and over again, as if we could convince you of anything. So, get lost, please.
Ugh....another troll. Well, while we are busy on Fri/Sat - looks like today has gone to the kitties!
Ok, you need to open your mind to even see other reasons of why not as oppose to thinking the way you are being dictated to and btw, its way too obvious. For one, have they allowed you to contemplate that use of any wmd’s by Saddam or the mullahs or the terrorists, would unite the world against their brand of Islamic terrorism as apparent by Saddam’s fait who actually used them on his and neighboring Iranian people? Or as oppose to keeping US agenda isolated and unjustified as European so called allies shun us now? Another reason would be a total justification for Israel’s deeds and view since they have been warning the world all along. Rest assured, mullahs do not consider Iran a done deal in any way. Iranians refuse to become Arab as mullahs know and fear their end that God willing, is coming soon. While Arabs are more and more crowding the mullahs as they sell Iranian territory to Iran’s Arab neighbors and embarrass US with their politics, destruction of Iran and its people is irrelevant to the goals of fundamental Islamists. It would be unfortunate to wait and see when Iran goes nuclear and six months or a year later for the mullahs to be out of power with Iranian missing nukes. Otherwise why rush so fast to obtain them while US is kept busy and divided at home over the none discovered wmds in Iraq. Just a couple of thoughts you might want to play with. Get informed, no one knows the truth but it’s not near were you looked or were told to look.
