No I am not grasping at straws I am ust saying you cannot say that there were not WMD's there, just like you can't say there weren't terrorists. There just wasn't the WMD's and terrorists we were after. Reply...
I did read most of what you posted....but.....I didn't stop there.. Thus I conclude that though they classified those remanants as WMD,s You're still grasping at straws.. As far as Who KNows is concerned, He made an absolutely incoherent statement...but that's typical of someone like him, who'se IQ doesn't reach room temperature.. Clinton attacked Saddam over WMDs.. How irrelevant can you get little man? Nobody denies that he had bio weapns in the 80s, and used them too..so what's your point? Propaganda? Cheney had an entire government department dedicated to propaganda supporting his insane desire for war... and people like you still cling to his lies... Google Office of Special projects.. It won't de program you...nothing can do that....but you might learn something...though I doubt it. Reply...

Well maybe you should educate yourself on CWC then. It constitutes WMD's, just not the ones we went for. Did you read the OPCW report from this year that I posted?

There was quite a stink raised when they found remanents of weapons, produced in the early 80s, containing traces of sarin and mustard gas, and got a Colonel (Chu) to say that these qualified as weapons of mass destruction, despite the fact that they were no longer effective... but it's hard to believe that you'd base your claim that Saddam had wmds on this... However, it's consistant with a claim made by someone who just cannot give up that claim...for reasons I've mentioned before... Reply...

So the DoD is lying? I never claimed AQ either, but there were terrorists inside Iraq, pal. Abu Ibrahim, he attacked a Pan-AM flight, his real name is Husayn al-Umari
http://www.cleveland.com/world/index.ssf/2009/04/finding_frankenstein_terrorist.html
Claiming Iraq had no terrorists pre-war is like saying, you have a million dollars simply because you say so.
I will rank you in with the rank in file 9/11 truthers then Rye, if you are sitting here telling me that the DoD is making up that they found chemical munitions.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/22/AR2006062201839.html
Which is basically a rehash of the first story which is directly from the DoD. They are covered under the Chemical Weapons Convention. While they themselves may have posed no threat to us there. They are still Chemical Weapons that are banned by the CWC. Which makes them WMD's Reply...
I did not and am not saying he had or did not have wmd. In fact I think he did at one time but probably did get rid of most of them before the war began. I am just saying that to beleive what a man who killed or allowed the killing of so many people, and that has been proven, word does not hold much crediblility with me. Do you not think he wanted his "legacy" to look better after he was hung and gone? I think he would. You know my posts well enough by now to know I do not think Bush was such a great pres. However, you also know I don't think this one is a peach either. Do you really beleive what Saddam said and that he was an above board honest talker? Or am I missing your point? Reply...
People in cults are cooperators in their own programming.
"Coercive persuasion" is a term that more aptly describes the cult indoctrination method. The cult offers something attractive or desirable to the individual, and the individual decides to suspend normal critical judgment in this area in order to obtain this "carrot" representing the fulfillment of their desire. Because this process involves mutual and willing cooperation, and the victim views all decisions as their own, it is a more binding form of mind control that is harder to undo. They wanted to believe it, it fulfills a "need," and it is "their decision." The only effective way to undo this form of programming is to review the indoctrination process with the individual, forcing a reexamination of the cult. Hopefully, something greater (i.e., Reality) is seen as a replacement for the cult involvement. Reply...
Here are several articles..debunking the WMD lie..many refer to that 03 incident you refer to... but there's no sense trying to de program those who cling to the delusions propounded by the "Office of Special Projects", Cheney's government agency, tasked with creating a cult of obedience... they did such a good job, that there remain several of the posters on this list. By now, they have too much of themselves tied up in these debunked propositions, and cannot cope with the reality that they're wrong. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7634313/ CIA's final report: No WMD found in Iraq - Conflict in Iraq- msnbc.com Lacking Biolabs, Trailers Carried Case for War On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a ...

What are you talking about rumors? They have found over 500 shells and they have had ied's that were used against our troops that were chemical shells.
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=15918
("These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.
The Chemical Weapons Convention is an arms control agreement which outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. It was signed in 1993 and entered into force in 1997.)
What part of that is unclear? Reply...
Problem with claiming he didn't have WMD's is that he had stockpiled chemical weapons which are WMD's. They were burried in the desert just like his planes... just another rumor..nobody ever proved it..or even introduced evidence of it.. those aluminum tubes had nothing to do with WMDs who are you quoting, sean hannitty?
