thing is .. they were not totally wrong
From what we do know .. some WMD were found .. but not the stock piles that we were told .. or so that's what's been reported so far

What the liberals are doing is completely dismissing any intel that says there is danger ahead

I don't deny some mistakes were made in gathering intel for one reason or the other and that improvements need to be made

my point is .. this is a VERY dangerous the liberals are going down

It leaves our country and others wide open for an attack because many won't believe those in charge

Mo1, your comments are spot on! We are headed down a very dangerous path. I guess the world was a safer place when there were two superpowers, instead of one. What makes it more dangerous is that the Flower Children of the 60's and 70's have their hands on the levers of power. Here's a recent post of mine:

I can't comment on Mr. Arkin because the language I would use wouldn't be allowed on the Free Republic.

Allow me to help: leopards never change their spots. If you look at all the gray-hairs that participated in these protests, they are the same people that were protesting in the 60's & 70's. They went underground for a couple of decades, and reaped great bounty from the land they so despise, while our armed forces (whom they secretly loathe, ala Bill Clinton) protected their asses from the real Communists.

They wouldn't know the truth if it smacked them between the eyes. They live in their world of reductio ad Hitlerum (Bush = Hitler) while trying to cozy up to the likes of Ahmadinejad, and saying "the Iraqis really preferred to have Saddam back in power.

I have never forgotten these leopards who marvelled at each other's $250 Reader's Digest scholarships, while castigating me as a sell out for earning a 4 year ride to an academic powerhouse (Gonzaga Univ.), thanks to an ROTC scholarship.

I shall never forget, nor will I turn my back to their seditious activities.

From what we do know .. some WMD were found .. but not the stock piles that we were told

Rick Santorum helped bring out the report that around 500 chemical munitions were found between 2003 and 2006. At the time, the "no WMDs" leftist mantra was changed to "no stockpiles" instead.

I always like to remind the doubters of "stockpiles" that a drop of Sarin is enough to kill you. Many drops are contained within a chemical shell. It was also dismissed, since many of these weapons were "degraded" from being stored for so long. Leftists who make this argument also whined when our significantly older chemical stockpiles were reportedly leaking in a much ballyhooed 60 Minutes story (before 9/11 or Iraq). I'd challenge these "degraded weapons" skeptics: Travel to my state of Maryland and stroll around the chemical weapons storage bunkers in Edgewood Arsenal without protective gear.

If any of Saddam's chemical shells were of the binary type, the components would not mix until the shell spun after being fired. Those contents would be quite stable, even now. The homemade nerve agent made by the Aum Cult in Japan in 1995 killed about a dozen and injured/hospitalized hundreds of others. Imagine the contents of one 155mm shell released in...oh, let's say Grand Central Station. A sophisticated, professionally manufactured chemical weapon would wreak havoc in a confined place like that.
