"1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium,sarin gas artillery shells, cyclosarin gas etc.; obviously just the tip of the iceberg."
I actually didn't know that. I knew we had found some mobile chemical labs and 36 mortar shells full of blister gas (an EXTEMEMLY deadly chemical weapon) buried in the sands of Northern Iraq.
"The problem of WMDs was Saddam giving them to terrorists in small quantities."
Very true, and that was the classic argument. The liberals counter that there were no weapons at all for Saddam to give, which appears to be true but may not be.
The Iraq/al-Quaida link was very real. Even though bin Laden and his cronies are religious zealots and Saddam was a secular Ba'athist, they are both Sunnis and that has become the defining line in the war: angry religious Sunnis are trying to spark an ethnic war between regular Sunnis and Shi'ites. This...cannot...happen.
And not only did congress give that authorization, but the U.N. itself signed Resolution 1441, which said that there would be "consequences" if Saddam did not comply. He remained defiant. It was the U.N. itself who wouldn't enforce its own resolution. We and the rest of the coalition were the U.N. members who actually followed through with 1441.
Do you have power point?
Ever see this slide show?

"They hate him for his very existence."
That's true, and the DEFINITIVE PROOF lies in the fact that Bush has many policies that have angered his right-wing base voters. He has increased Federal spending to record levels. He has failed to secure the border (which may change before the second term is up). You'd think he'd be hailed as a hero to liberals for spending so much on government programs designed to help the poor. But they hate him no matter what his policies are.
I have it on order and apparently it's very well documented.
The things I mentioned are just off the top of my head from a pre-release review I recieved.
Take the Los Angeles Times.
No thank you. There's enough stupidity in my life, I see no reason to go out of my way to get more.
On Wednesday, October 26, 2005, the main headline spread across two columns of Times was “U.S. Death Toll In Iraq Hits 2,000.”

In two years, with less loss of life than we suffered on 9/11, America has liberated 25 million Iraqis, ended the most heinous tyranny of the 21st Century, inflicted terrible defeats on our terrorist enemies, and created the first democracy in the history of Islam. -- David Horowitz
I would believe that Saddam had them transported, while Bush was trying to educate the UN idiots. The US had to get the trackings from "ours eyes in space."
Did you see that PowerPoint slide in post 45? Amazing. Those are some big rockets!
I'll look into that book. Seems are media has not told us very much.
A guy I know (he's pretty much non- political joe-six pack type) were talking about Iraq.
I asked him "Do you know why we invaded Iraq?"
"Sure, I looked at a map."
Yeah, thanks to the opposition, we did wait WAAAAY too long. Saddam had ample time to destroy and/or deport as much as he could.
I'm looking forward to checking it out.Thanks!
Oh.
Well, it basically showed a crude chemical lab filled with materials to make EXTEMELY deadly weapons and bombs, and how-to books. And at the end, it says that houses just like that were all OVER Iraq.
No doubt.
Got to be going, FReep at you later!
