Well, it looks like they've found the WOMD. It's not confirmed yet, but who needs that?

Somehow, this is better. Don't ask me why -

Maybe because this means this nightmare is just about over.

EDIT: They're pesticides. Bah.

Middle East

Do you actually think that those who hate the USA will ever believe this anyway? I think back to how England & France sat quiet while Hitler laid out his plans... No one wants to look and learn from history. What would the world have been if they acted and made pre-emptive actions? How many more soldiers had to die because of not taking action? No one can ever know the outcome of another choice, we all live and die with the choices we make today...

Sorry I'm just waxing...

I'm just wondering if we'd ever find out if they have "Made in the USA" on the sides.

Well if they have those Made in USA tags just another thing Clinton will have to explain. LOL... We all know about Reagan support during the Iran/Iraq war, those weapons are pretty dated tech. Last night I saw they have the Made in France labels already identified.
Do you know with all this direct embedded media with the armed forces are there any Middle Eastern journalists in this fray? Since we sadly no longer have journalist just sensationalists.

You got that right. It's a pretty piss poor situation where you have to check the arab news agencies to get an idea of what you've been lied to about that day. Not that you'd succeed, of course.

Made in France, my ass. Made in the USA, ditto. Everything is made in China. The only thing made in either country these days is money, and plenty of it.

You heard they're pesticides, right?

I'm not suggesting that Arab news is any better then ours, there isn't anything to be called Journalism in 30 years. Heck Saudi is very financially vested in our own CNN LOL...

I haven't followed todays re-writing of yesterdays news. Truth is forgotten and left to archaeologists to make up fun stories in a thousand years.

They're still testing the drums, but the word on the street is that about 20 missiles have been found with warheads that might contain chemicals, although they don't know yet (it's not a good idea to just take a warhead apart to see what's inside, even if it doesn't have chemicals in it).

Unless a boatload more chemical/biological weapons turn up, though, the question will have to be asked- what about the vaunted intel that was saying we knew Iraq had these weapons? 20 warheads is hardly enough to go to this kind of trouble over, especially because the UN inspection teams could have relieved Iraq of those in about a week without killing anyone.

Then why didn't they?

A damn fine question. Why don't you ask the Bush Administration (http://www.whitehouse.gov), who sold this war to an unthinking populace on the premise that Iraq was a threat because of its WMD, while claiming that those WMD existed, simultaneously not giving the UN any data on those alleged WMD?

Maybe because they didn't know for sure where these WMD were or even if they existed? Are 20 missiles (that haven't as of the time of this writing been demonstrated to have chemical warheads) worth the death of thousands of Iraqis and (currently, maybe thousands) of Americans?

Who is that man behind the curtain?
