I knew their neo-meanings, but not where they came from. Thanks for the examples MR. ex-President! I hope you don't mind the 'ex' too much. And really hope you aren't going to become Mrs. President, Mr. ex-President.
Hey, being first husband will keep me around the interns.
"rambling"---OK I'll buy rambling because sometimes my explanations are longer than a dumbass like you can handle.
"hypocrite" requires that I said one thing and did another or vicey-versy. I didn't DO ANYTHING in commenting on the DOD equipment pics which brings us to what you think you know (which leaves you a little short of something to make a charge with.) Are you on medication that promotes imagination? You need to get back on it, maybe the Canadian stuff will work better. Maybe a little lower altitude will cure the oxy starvation. The propensity to yell hypocrite is an indicator of a condition we call "fruitcake."
Oh, so Iraq DID have WMDs? But now it doesn't because you say it doesn't? Hey Einstein, it is IMPOSSIBLE to prove a negative. YOU DO NOT KNOW if Iraq has WMDs. I do know that Iraq had 'em, made 'em and used 'em. What I don't know is where they are now. But I do know they've been discovered in small amounts on at least two occasions since our invasion, a ton of precursor and dual-use chemicals and equipment litter the countryside, paperwork was systematically destroyed to prevent investigation, etc.
Oh, so you're a contractor?!?! Well, well. I didn't realize I was speaking to such an expert!! < / sarcasm > So all of Iraq's WMDs were destroyed in 1991, huh? So then why did we have inspections from 91-98? Seems kinda silly, huh? And why do we have concrete proof of Iraqis blocking inspections, lying, moving stuff out the back gate as inspectors are stalled at the front gate? You know, before the oh-so-cooperative Hussein regime threw them out of country for four years. I mean, since the regime was so darned cooperative in 1991 [cough, cough], you'd think they'd have been falling all over themselves to get those mean ol' sanctions lifted.
You may be a contractor over in the Middle East, but you darned sure had nothing to do with WMD programs.
...do you just prefer to jump to conclusions?
Hypocrite.
So you must have gone over every square inch of Iraq and through all the tunnels and under all the palaces. How long did that take you? 50,000 years? Also you must have traveled with the Russians to Syria in the two weeks before we entered Iraq. Wow! You've been busy! It took us almost three years to find any WMD's in Iraq after the Gulf war! Saddam and his allies knew we were coming for almost 6 months. Think about that.
Why am I stuck on this issue? You made the claim. So either back up your allegation or admit you don't know what you're talking about.
Just another covert aspirin factory..... move along
"You are so smart you find 'em!"
That's my point! This is like looking for a needle in a haystack, with people you think are helping to look, moving the needle away from where you're looking. The French, Germans, Chinese and Russians, did all they could to delay our going into Iraq. I believe they didn't want the world to see what they sold to Saddam including weapons and materials used for WMD's. Plus involvement in the oil-for-food scandal. Sorry, can't link it, but I read an interesting article by a Russian General who defected, talking about Russia's plan to help Iraq and other third world countries remove evidence of all kinds of illegal weapon systems in the event of UN, NATO or US intervention. He believes Russian technology and actual WMD weapons (mostly nuclear) and nuclear scientific assistance documents were transferred to Syria in the two weeks before we went into Iraq. There are satellite photos showing many trucks (some Russian) going to Syria during this time. So I think we will find some very interesting things in Syria and Lebanon pretty soon. We shall see!
Yes, sometimes it's necessary for our national security that things be kept top-secret and not revealed to our media, who will in turn reveal all to our enemies. There may be knowledge in our government regarding WMD's that are secrets that we don't want our enemies to know that we know and to avoid general public panic. You've said the WMD story didn't pan out. No media proof of nuclear yet, but mustard gas and ricin have been found in Iraq, recently. Missiles caps have been found with chemical traces. Also, a lot of chemical and biological agents have short shelf lives and do not test positive after sitting for certain periods of time. PLUS, it's too early to tell! But, WMD's is only one of many reasons Iraq was a brilliant idea. I like the fact that the extreme terrorists in the region are so concerned that they are putting most of their efforts into fighting IN Iraq! Their actions show us how important Iraq is to the WOT. You've said that Saddam didn't have WMD's after 1991. HUH??? How come all sides of the equation agree that in the mid '90s Iraq destroyed WMD's under UN supervision? It took UN inspectors over two years to gain knowledge of those WMD's after the end of the Gulf war. The Iraq war is still going on.
"Rather than doom the necessary actions sometimes it is necessary to bend the truth." True, but I'd go one step further and say it's necessary to keep some things secret! It's a shame Clinton didn't realize about the importance of necessary actions against the terrorists! Or did he not care. OR did he do his wife's anti-American bidding!
It' almost certain to be a baby milk factory.
I'm wondering where you get your news and info from. CNN? - Who admitted they didn't report the truth from Iraq for over ten years after the Gulf war out of fear of what Saddam's regime would do to their reporters. The UN? - With higher-ups making fortunes off the oil-for-food corruption. The French? - With military, weapon's deals and financial reasons to try to stop our Iraqi invasion through the UN. Joe Wilson? - A partisan with an obvious agenda.
Yes, the Niger docs were fake. That's really old news. Did you ever think that maybe the French faked them on purpose to sabotage an Iraqi invasion? Those were worse fakes than Rather's. They were supposed to be seen as fakes. The Brits still insist Iraq went to Niger in 1999, when Niger and the French were selling Yellowcake to Libya. Wilson didn't disprove or prove anything period! How come he said the Niger documents were fake 8 months before anyone knew they were? Maybe he was involved in or knew of the forgeries to undermine Bush, the Brits and American intel.
"Al Baradie or whatever his name is wrote off nuclear entirely." - I wouldn't believe this guy if he said 2+2=4. The Pat Buchanan article is over 2 years old. It'd be interesting to see what he thinks now. Of course he's anti-war and also has an agenda. But I must admit, his agenda confuses me.
As far as removal of WMD's from a country that Russia trades with and supplies weapons to, they have been working on this for many years and may be the best in the world at it. My ability to link articles is very limited due to a TV computer attachment system. But, I will try to find the Russian general's statement's where you can do a simple search on google or FR.
