What Bad Thing Has Saddam Done Lately?

I'll make this short and sweet. I have not seen evidence for a reason to invade Iraq or demand a regime change there.

Okay, Saddam gassed his own people twelve years ago or so. There have been multiple accusations of his development of weapons of mass destruction, including biological and chemical weapons development.

All the TV footage I see of Saddam Hussein is about 10 years old. Show me the evidence.

Fred just wanted an honest discussion and I wish people would respect this fact.

There is nothing wrong with an honest discussion and many folks made some good points

Fred choose to ignore them for whatever reason and when asked why .. he became rude and told many of us to leave HIS thread ..

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Heheh...that's about right!

[Sir Gawain]

This thread should be a case study on "How to Hijack a Thread."

[Mo1]

LOL .. good one

Meanwhile, a special FBI team sent to Europe to uncover al-Qaeda cells say that they are studying a report from Prague that anthrax spores were given to Atta during his last meeting in Prague in April with Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani, the Iraqi consul. "If it can be shown that Atta was given a flask of anthrax," a Western intelligence official said, "then the link will have been made with Osama bin Laden and with Iraq."

interesting dynamics here, folks.

if this connection is made, it will put Dr. Steven Hatfill right up there with Richard Jewell on the FBI's trophy case.

Among his claims is that Iraq had sent a ton of anthrax to bin Laden. He also said that members of bin Laden's terror network have been trained in Salman Pak in Iraq.

dripping information here, boss. don't be surprised to see these two items included in Dubya's speech justifying the attack. (maybe he'll save OKC & HAH as his hole card?)

[thinden]

nice thread you got cooking here, fred.

[pfflier]

He has demonstrated what he is capable of doing in the past and without restraint can do again this time to our country.

Most cockroaches have not made me sick but I kill them before they get a chance.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

I do and I posted my own opinion, which was contrary to Fred's RESPECTFULLY. Because I posted my opinion to him repectfully, he listened to me.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Just because Fred did not reply to every single post made to him, does not mean that he did not read the content posted.

Like I said, Fred has listened to the respectful opinions addressed to him and has been re-thinking his position.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Freddie always thinks of thoughtful topics to discuss.

[Mo1]

Just because Fred did not reply to every single post made to him, does not mean that he did not read the content posted.

I didn't say he didn't read them .. I said he seem to choose to ignore them and I don't expect him to respond to every single post ..

I just never expected that side of Fred I saw

OKC is going to be discussed on Fox News Channel--John Gibson's segment--TODAY. The teaser said that "mounting evidence" is tying in a middle eastern man to the OKC bombing. The question was asked...was the McVeigh trial fair? Should McVeigh have been executed? What part did Reno and Clinton play?

[justshe]

And I would posit that MANY on this thread posted their opinions respectfully. Are you saying he DIDN'T listen to them due to WHO they are?

[PISANO]

Doesn't matter what he has done lately!! The UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER (Desert Storm War) was violated the MOMENT inspectors were kicked out of IRAQ. What would we have done if Japan VIOLATED their unconditional surrender? Worry about what others would say or think? By the way, What has Charles Manson done lately?

[thinden]

great news! I'll try to catch it.

[Fred Mertz]

Flag me if you catch it with a summary. I'm hitting the bricks and will be offline until next Tuesday. Later gator!

[justshe]

Please ignore my question to you in post #395. I do NOT accept that you are "channeling" for the person with whom the responsibilty resides.

[glorygirl]

This was the hardest-hitting piece I've ever seen on this topic on Fox. Maybe there will be more to come. Wonder what, if anything, O'Reilly will have to say.
