We know Saddam had WMD because he has used them in the past and we have seen the proof.

"Don't say 'we' kemo sabe." I've never seen any such proof. Maybe we'll find it at the same time we find the evidence of massive ethnic cleansing in Kosovo.

OK, I wasn't going to say anything since your posts and the counter posts were becomming emotional, but..

In reguards to "evidence of massive ethnic cleansing in Kosovo", does this include Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia too?

If so, I was a platoon leader in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia. I saw the mass graves, smelled the stench (no word comes close to that terrible smell), listened to the depraved rantings of blood-lust from all sides. I was in Brckco and saw the "sausage factory" where untold numbers of civilians were ground-up and dumped into a lime-filled pit. Is that proof enough?

My friends, fellow LTs, went to Kosovo in 99 as the first M1A1 tank company to enter Kosovo after the bombings. They saw the same things we saw in Bosnia, but fresh, not burried for a few years while the UN looked the other way.

Is that proof enough?

"I've never seen any such proof."

Then you've never bothered looking.

Saddam Hussein - page 1
AKA 'Great Uncle', AKA 'Lion of Babylon', AKA 'Lion of Iraq', AKA 'Beast of Baghdad'. Saddam translates to 'One Who Confronts'.

Country: Iraq.

Kill tally: Approaching two million, including between 150,000 and 340,000 Iraqis and between 450,000 and 730,000 Iranians killed during the Iran-Iraq War. An estimated 1,000 Kuwaiti nationals killed following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. No conclusive figures for the number of Iraqis killed during the Gulf War, with estimates varying from as few as 1,500 to as many as 200,000. Over 100,000 Kurds killed or "disappeared". No reliable figures for the number of Iraqi dissidents and Shi'ite Muslims killed during Hussein's reign, though estimates put the figure between 60,000 and 100,000. (Mass graves discovered following the US occupation of Iraq in 2003 suggest that the total combined figure for Kurds, Shi'ites and dissidents killed could be as high as 300,000). Approximately 500,000 Iraqi children dead because of international trade sanctions introduced following the Gulf War.

....

But go ahead, bury your head in the sand, call for Fortress America, whine away. The reality is 911. An unbelieviable attack on innocent civilians by islamofascisti funded by scum like OBL and Sodamn Insane. You are part of a tiny fringe group of deniers. Do tell, what do you think of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, or the numbers killed in Nazi Germany? How tight is your tin-foil beanie?

Even TIME and Newsweek has published that stuff. Are you blind or just will not see?
