Even the UN says there were WMD's

UN weapons inspections

The UN weapons inspection programme - funded initially through voluntary contributions from UN Member States and frozen Iraqi assets - supervised the destruction of Iraq's WMD arsenal. Since the inception of the Oil-for-Food programme, the effort - begun by the UN Special Commission (UNSCOM) and continued by the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC), working with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - has been funded through oil revenues.

UNSCOM destroyed missiles, mobile launchers, fixed launch sites, chemical munitions, a chemical weapons complex and a germ warfare complex as well as tons of missile fuel, chemical warfare agents, precursor chemicals and bacteria growth media. The effort was interrupted in late 1998.

UNMOVIC inspectors only returned to Iraq in November, 2003, when they destroyed dozens of Iraqi Al Samoud 2 missiles and warheads, as well as launchers, shells filled with chemical weapons precursors and other arms. That activity was funded entirely through a small portion of Iraq's oil revenues.

It amazes me that people don't understand why we thought SH had WMD's, or that he might have been able to hand them off to Al Queda.

Are you really going to believe what a corrupt organization like the UN says?

I don't think there has ever been any issue of weather Iraq ever HAD WMD's. I think it's quite widely known that they did have them, and did use some of them against their Kurdish population.

The issue was whether or not they were all destroyed. It seems like they were.

Of course the US knew he HAD WMDs, they checked the receipts.

And there were dinosaurs too! There's proof, although they're not here anymore.

Oh.

Sorry. That's just a theory. The world is only 7000 years old and was made in a week by a dude who has always been around.

Oh.

Sorry. Wrong thread.

The Al Samoud missle had a range of less than 150 miles, hardly a threat to anyone. While we were trying to get the Iraqis to disarm, albeit to US standards, the US had backed UN plans to disarm SH over the years. Some of that INCLUDED letting them have certain weapons and continue to develop certain weapons as long as the range was within limits.

To now come back and state that these were truly WMD's and that they were no allowed is simpyl bullshit and another stab at trying to justify the war.

Those weapons were developed with the knowledge and approval of, the US government and the UN as well as dozens of other countries.

We went to war because SH had WMD's in production supposedly and would not give them up. We already know that no weapons have been found that were any threat to anyone, and thus does not justify the war against them.

Here's a post that I made in another thread talking about Blix's report that shows Hussein was working on other rockets with increased ranges... check it out, you just might get your eyes opened.

Eyes opened? They don't want to see it. They just want to bitch about the Gov't. Part of their culture of negativism.
