Et tu Torie?
Most are in Syria, some are scattered about in Iraqi ratholes.
The CIA has the pictures of the trucks moving from Iraq to Syria on the eve of the war.
Of course, one might believe that Saddam Hussein really did destroy all those weapons and weapon programs but brought down the wrath of the US of A on his ass just to spite George Bush. One might believe that if one were really reaching. I don't believe it for a minute.
No,he hasn't been.
It's hard to blame Bush for that episode on the aircraft carrier. He was basing his actions on what he was told by the civlian morons in the Pentagon who executed this war in the first place. You know -- the ones who said the U.S. would be welcomed "with open arms" in Iraq, and even speculated that the U.S. could win the war with anywhere from 0 (no joke) to 30,000 troops on the ground?
Hey, Saddam is still alive and over there, why dont you suggest he be reinstalled.
I am ashamed of Buckley on this,he should be ashamed
Bill Buckley is also a Catholic. So now it is time I give up being a Baptist?
Buckley supported the war when it counted. In the real world, leaders have no assurance that their plans--however well-made--will be realized exactly as they wish.
The President does the best he can, prays, and leads. Buckley followed when it counted. Good for him.
If the Chem agents in Powells speech were all there were, two guys in a cargo van could have moved the whole cache from Baghdad to Damascus in just over 60 days.
That 25,000l of Anthrax? If kept in liquid form, it would all fit in a single 10' by 11' room...the closet if dried.
Then there's the other "no WMDs" argument: That a warehouse full of production materials, across the street from a dual use facility which requires only a couple of minor changes to produce chem agents, with the required components kept in a scientists home, and a military depot with empty specialized warheads to hold the agents doesn't compromise WMDs.
Ditto
Spot on. Buckley makes his judgement using hindsight. That is fine as far as it goes. However, one cannot gainsay the fact that 25 million Iraqis are free to choose their own path at long last. That makes all the difference, to me.
Be Seeing You,

Libya. The scientists running that program were Iraqi. Saddam was busy outsourcing.
Engineers are trained NOT to read between the lines. Engineers are trained NOT to conclude it's an elephant in between if shown a picture of a trunk and a tail.
Buildings fall down if every t isn't crossed and every i dotted in fact finding.
Love ya, Alberta; but when you finally do get all the facts in 5, 10, 20 years, you'll find you missed the boat.
If George W. Bush had known in May 2003 that there was any chance in hell that the events in Iraq of the last 12 months would unfold as they have, do you think he would have even dreamed of that silly "Mission Accomplished" act on the deck of the aircraft carrier?

Hmmm, Bush is for the war because he's for a U.N. resolution.
That's like saying you disagree with killing people because it's against the law.
You do know that we lost 5 times that number of troops in one day on D-Day don't you? We lost 6 times that many troops taking Iwo Jima in 3 days.
Is that a direct quote from Kerry, or your own variation?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (news - web sites) will start flying some illegal Mexican migrants to their hometowns next month as part of a controversial program aimed at reducing illegal immigration.
Homeland Security undersecretary Asa Hutchinson said on Tuesday that the U.S. and Mexican governments had reached an agreement for a pilot program to repatriate illegals found in the Arizona-Sonoran desert region.
War in the Absence of Strategic Clarity "More than merely winning the war in Iraq, we needed to stun the Arab World."
No Way to Run a War "The Democrats are guilty of ideological confusion and the Republicans of disdain for reflection."
Right on.
