Why should we stop when we're having success?
Knowing full well they're in Syria.
maybe we should somehow get Gaubutz & jveritas together ?
For retards, it never began.
The development of long-range missiles capable of delivering chemical, biological, and even nuclear warheads, was seen as one of Saddam Hussein's central strategic goals. He had already used his existing missile force against Iran, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, with conventional warheads. It was expected that over time, Iraqi scientists would develop increasingly accurate missiles with greater ranges and payloads.
"If you allow someone like Saddam Hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons, biological weapons, how many people is he going to kill with such weapons?
He's already demonstrated a willingness to use these weapons.
He poison-gassed his own people.
He used poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction against his neighbors.
This man has no compunction about killing lots and lots of people...."

The Slimes can't stand teh fact that our guys keep finding WMDs, so they try to make it look like it's a futile effort kept alive for political reasons.
1983, when Hussein ordered the use of chemical weapons against Iran.
In August 1988, Hussein launched chemical attacks against defenseless men, women and children in Kurdish villages in northern Iraq. International groups ascertained he used mustard gas and sarin.
During the Persian Gulf War, Hussein threatened to use his chemical arsenal against the coalition arrayed against him. Following the war, U.N. inspectors went into Iraq and found stockpiles of chemical weapons.
2003
Mubarak said point blank to Retired Gen. Tommy Franks, "Saddam has WMD-biologicals."
2004
UN weapons experts have found 20 engines used in Iraq's banned Al Samoud 2 missiles in a Jordanian scrap yard, along with other equipment that could be used to produce weapons of mass destruction UN Inspector disclosed the discovery today in a closed-door briefing to the UN Security Council.
"The Iraqi Survey Group confirmed that a 155-millimeter artillery round containing sarin nerve agent had been found," Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt (search), the chief military spokesman in Iraq, told reporters in Baghdad. "The round had been rigged as an IED (improvised explosive device) which was discovered by a U.S. force convoy."
NewsMax breaking story about WMDs evidence were in IRAQ: Jordan King reporting that the weapons that they tried to use to kill the 80K...one of the terrorists confessed he was trained in Iraq with WMDs.they just had a terrorists confession that the 80K they were planning on killing in Jordan were trained and came from IRAQ

On 16 June 2006, I was informed of an interview Congressman Weldon had conducted on 13 June 2003. Congressman Weldon had stated, "the jury is still out" in regards to WMD in Iraq. He further stated he had been made aware of four WMD sites in Iraq that have never been searched by U.S. personnel. He said he had also been briefed by "Iraqis familiar with these sites". Weldon also stated if no WMD is located at these four sites he believes Russia was involved in moving the WMD to Syria. (Congressman Weldon is referring to the four sites I identified and the meeting I arranged for him involving Iraqi citizens). To read the interview go to www.delcotimes.com. Search this site for "Weldon WMD". It is located in an article by William Bender, titled "Liberal bloggers riled over Weldon's WMD comments". In this article Charles Duelfer again makes a statement, "I tend to doubt that there would be locations which haven't yet been scavenged or in other ways examined". Duelfer further said, " the four sites targeted by Weldon are worth evaluating if it can be done safely".
The remarks made by Duelfer reflect what Agents like myself faced when we reported suspected sites at the beginning of the war. Does Mr. Duelfer not feel if the sites were already 'scavenged" that it would be in the interest of America to find out what was scavenged, who scavenged them, where the scavengers took them, and what the scavengers intentions with the WMD are? Mr. Duelfer should have understood inspecting WMD sites in Iraq would be dangerous in wartime. Based on these two statements alone verify Mr. Duelfer was not qualified to be in charge of the Iraq Survey Group (ISG).
"I think the jury is still out on WMD," said Weldon, vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security committees.I consider "liberal bloggers" ripping into Weldon's statement a hearty endorsement. ;-)
Those comments lit up the liberal blogosphere -- a fund-raising source for Weldon’s Democratic challenger, Joseph Sestak -- and prompted a scathing letter Monday from a veterans group that is backing Sestak’s campaign.
"On behalf of the men and women who have and are currently serving in Iraq, I implore you to stop ignoring the facts just to save face," wrote Jeremy Broussard, an Iraq veteran and senior adviser to Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America PAC. "Your continued support for the decision to go to war cannot be justified by ignoring the reality of the overwhelming evidence and espousing conclusions you wish were true."
...
Weldon’s stance on WMDs in Iraq, which clashes with not only Duelfer’s findings but also those of the U.S. commission that examined pre-war intelligence failures, could cost him politically.
While it is not unusual for liberal bloggers to rip into the 10-term Republican incumbent -- they’ve labeled him "Crazy Curt" and "True Whackjob" in recent days -- some are also raising money for Sestak, a retired Navy admiral.
