WASHINGTON (CNN) --Nearly four years after U.N. inspectors left Iraq, weapons experts say there is mounting evidence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has amassed large stocks of chemical and biological weapons he is hiding from a possible U.S. military attack.

But wait. Shouldn't we be listening to the renowned world expert William Rivers Pitt?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! You mean the self appointed king of the putzes?

[Diddle E. Squat]

That makes sense, or it could also simply be positioning to get some sort of payoff from the US for their support.

"Also, the treasonous policy of Klinton to "launch after impact" needs to be reversed immediately, if it has not already been done."

I tried to ignore everything that idiot did, so enlighten me: U.S. nuclear war-fighting policy went from "launch-on-warning" of a incoming attack, to "launch-only-after-impact" of whatever stuff was inbound?

Another reason to try that bustard for treason...

U.S. nuclear war-fighting policy went from "launch-on-warning" of a incoming attack, to "launch-only-after-impact" of whatever stuff was inbound?

That's pretty much the way I understand it. The point being that "launch after impact" would probably not occur since the enemy nation would then launch round #2 if we responded.

I had forgotten all about it until I heard Alex Jones talking about it last week, but there is probably some more info on it in the archives here.

There used to be a guy who posted here during the last year of the Clinton Administration, who would do a daily "moment" of stuff like this launch policy revision.

He did about 200 of them and then disappeared. I thought it was amazing that he could go, day after day, with some idiotic policy or criminal behavior. He didn't even get to all of the stuff. It really is amazing how busy Clinton was at destroying the country, from forest policy to military policy to diplomatic snafus. And the troubles are still piling up from his 8 years.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is NOT a promoter of the miitary-industrial complex. If anything, it leans liberal.

I would say that an analyst for this organization would be far more interested in trying to hide chemical weapons production by Iraq if there were the slightest doubt.

Therefore, your little slam on this gentleman is misguided.

At some point we will be given the evidence (and I wouldn't be surprised if part of it comes when the President addresses the UN). I certainly hope that at that point you are finally convinced.

There is a real danger. I told you before that you are handicapped by not being here and if you were, you would have no doubt that this is a necessay action our nation will take.

...I told you before that you are handicapped by not being here and if you were, you would have no doubt that this is a necessary action our nation will take...

Genuinely trying to compensate for that factor, Miss M. We don't have a TV, and I'm the only person I know who hasn't seen the planes hit the WTC. So the searing emotion of that footage hasn't burnt into my consciousness the way it has for many here. But I still think declaring war is something you do in the cold hard light of day, and only on rock-solid grounds. Regards, By.
