Sweet. You're there!
Please click on my name to read details about this particular list.
"That is not a strong point of argument. Vials of those bacteria are in many laboratories. It is true that they are a substance from which a biological agent can be produced but so are many other things. As the agent had not been produced, then there was no weapon."
Its irrelevant if its a strong point or not and thats the problem with the entire WMD debate. You just blow this off because you present the strawman argument of "vials of those bacteria are in many laboratories" which is the typical retort which sidesteps the entire point. The point is not whether it can be found in a laboratory anywhere, but the point was it was hidden in the home of an Iraqi biological weapons researcher."
It wasnt weaponized YET, it shows intent that Saddam wanted them hidden so he can weaponize them LATER. Its really not to hard to figure out.
Which part dont you understand when Saddam was supposed to reveal all of his weapons programs and materials to the UN -and this was HIDDEN in a BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS RESEARCHERS HOUSE (not in a laboratory). An obvious violation of UN resolutions and another reason why this war is jutified.
It's completly annoying when people say anything short of huge stockpiles doesnt count. Saddam is in material breach of the UN resolutions and this is being proven on a daily basis.
Now 500 mustard gas shell found arent enough, because the media and democrats declare them not strong enough when a few can still kill dozens of people. Not good enough? I guess they have to kill people with them first.
If people would stop moving the stop moving the goal posts, this would have never been an issue.
