I have those and a few other things I think Saddam might have contributed to, but the official word says otherwise.
I want specific evidence. That's not too much to ask for, is it?
What would convince you?
Fred, here it is in a nutshell. The world was told "You're either with us, or you're against us".
Since Iraq is not "with" us, then we are obligated, as the world's only superpower, to effect a regime change so that they will be "with" us.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
Of course not. We all want it and I believe we'll get it. None of us, however, can answer you're question... we're waiting for specifics just like yourself.
Somehow, I don't think that evidence that is provided, no matter how specific, is going to convince you.
I just have this niggling feeling that you would dismiss them as forgeries or computer generated fakes.
So I take it you opposed the attack on Afghanistan sans specific public evidence of bin Laden's involvement in 9/11?
No, it's not; however, I'm sure you're aware that a large volume of information remains classified long after its intelligence value has expired, because the revelation of the information would compromise the source, which remains of high value.
Think about it...If the local polizei marched into your house and walked directly to the secret, stow-away panel where you keep your weapons, confiscate them, and walk out...you would automatically have a short list in your mind as to where they obtained the information as only a finite number of persons, all of whom you trust, could have offered up that info...
I'll be satisfied with as much evidence as can reasonably be spared.
Enough other comments have already been made regarding the appeasement aspects of allowing Irag to flagrantly violate the negotiated terms of peace to which they agreed in '91.
Do you believe in the atomic structure of matter? Ever seen it, do you have, personally, specific evidence for the reality of atoms?
Seems to me you're just enjoying stirring up the hornets' nest with your inquiry.
It's a good question. History shall give you the answer.
