I really hate that we had to release "proof" ....probably dried up a few sources and may have gotten people killed bingo. But ya know, have to make the appeasers happy I guess.

To: Terriergal
Terriergal, I have to say I think this reason is a little over the top.
We weren't able to get rid of Clinton, even though many people thought he was horrible. And Clinton wasn't killing people in camps.
Michael is a freeper in good standing, as best I can tell, and his input as a German is appreciated and respected. Of course hard questions can be asked, but I do think it's not honest analysis to extrapolate wildly from the German people's response to Hitler. Many people in the world were unconvinced Hitler was a thug or a threat.
I think the German people today are affected by their Nazi history in that it has deeply ingrained in them a deep strain of knee-jerk pacifism and also a sense by which America's power today is (subconsciously at least) a reminder of a not-very-honorable time in their history.

I certainly hope that we did it in such a way as to minimize risks to our sources. That had to be one of the big concerns in determining what to release and what not to. And yet we'll hear "why haven't we heard this sooner?! whine whine whine"

Very good. Been thinking the same thing.
France, Iraq, China, et al. You said we haven't made our case. You said that alleging something isn't enough. You told us to prove it.
We have. There is some evidence. We have more. But now the world has tons.
You say it is fabricated. Alleging it isn't enough. Prove it.

Very early this morning FOX reported that Iraq media was already saying we fabricated everything - even before Powell made his presentation.
Hmmm? Pre-empting - is that who the dems learned it from or vice versa?

I saw that. It spoke VOLUMES, didn't it? Iraq names Ritter in it's denial, AH I didn't hear Ritter's name in particular... but what I did hear made me think "he's quoting Ritter isn't he?"

Democrat Jay Rockefeller is hoping that now that Saddam is faced with the knowledge that the rest of the world knows now, he'll make "an adjustment." Geez, I sure hope so too.
Is this the newest and latest PC term of apology and excuse for Saddam? An adjustment?

did you see the film of the plane with sray tanks?? I know I'm late to the party, but do you remember Atta applying for a loan for a plane with spray tanks installed?
To: Terriergal
I didn't hear directly either, but saw several FReepers saying it earlier on this thread.

I saw this on the site that must not be named.
I can think of some good captions on this one. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_747591.html?menu=news.latestheadlines But man, I can think of some good uses for this with our special forces.
To: 3catsanadog
So Rockefeller is telling Saddam to hide his WMD a little better..??

I'm rewatching the powell presentation right now. Just got to the part of the intercepted phone call where the one guy tells the other to "remove the expression nerve agents wherever it comes up in the wireless instructions"
Chilling. I saw it the first time around... but it's chilling all the same. Notice they open their conversations with "Allah's blessing" etc. etc.
