When does you patience run out?

[GePap]

Simple question: the WMD hunt is on, and as of yet, nothing. When will you begin to question whether anything at all will be found? (and in theory, what you were told before the war?)

I said a while ago that I would wait 6 weeks to see how the admin. came up with some proof or some evidence, well, anything, on the extensive claims made (so, I need to see more than just a few chemicals..were were the 2 dozen SCUDS, 10,000 litersd of Liquid and dry anthrax, hundreads of mustard gas shells, thousands of nerve gas shells, so forht and so on)

So I vote one more month.

I got six months patience. There are subways, tunnels and all sorts of things that have to be explored.

[PLATO]

Put me down for 6 months to a year. Hundreds of suspected and thousands of possible sites to look at. That combined to the fact that the Iraqis were putting atremendous amount of effort into hiding them means that it could take awhile. Very few specialist are actually in country looking yet.

GePap: At least let them get some experts in country before you start your 6 week clock. The President just declared the combat phase over just today.

Years... well actually more leaning towards I don't care if we find any or not.

[orange]

that's the spirit, Imran! If you're going to support an imperialistic war, at least be honest about it

[Imran Siddiqui]

I ain't supporting an imperialist war at all. I want us out of their goverance within 5 years. I'm supporting kicking the crap out of a two-bit dictator who's a major *******. I wouldn't be angry at all if we decided to pressure Saudi Arabia, Syria, or Zimbabwe next.

2 more weeks. With all that solid CIA information Colin Powell was waving around in the UN, and all those scientists and a few top Baath brasses the coalition troops have access to, if there's something, they should have already found out.

I give them 2 more weeks just to be charitable.

[Dis]

I don't care either way. I never thought those WMD were any threat to anyone.

[LoneWolf]

Oops, no WMD's. Too bad, maybe we should find Saddam and apologize. Or not. Oh well . . .

[Zero]

Mine ran out as soon as they were eager to jump in to war.

Like orange said, I didnt feel the need to mask my desire for war with some crummy WMD hunt.

[TCO]

They will find it, And you all will weasel like you did when Bagdhadn fell withogut a Stalingrad battle. and when thepeople rejouceed

Well yes, there's no need to even prop up the lame pretext now the war is over. What else is new? Rest assured that this is not the last time you'll hear this.

Concerning the Informations the USA claimed to have, I have the same opinion as Urban Ranger.

Powell always spoke of very solid informations concerning the Location and amount of WMDs in Iraq, but at the same time he said that the informations had to be kept secret to protect the Informants.
Now, Saddams Regime is gone and there is no need to protect the Informants anymore (the Informants could approach the US-Troops and get protected by them if they still feared they could get murdered by Saddams Minions).
So as there is nothing which hinders the US-Troops from using the Informations they are supposed to have, where are the WMDs?

I still voted to give the US-Troops 2 Mmonths more time.
It is much more time than Powell had given the US-Inspections in Iraq and if they don´t find anything within this time I will be convinced that there are no significant Quantities of WMDs in Iraq anymore and therefore the accusations of the Bush administration concerning WMDs in Iraq (which is the ground upon which they built their Casus belli and tried to convince the Security Council to allow a war against Iraq) are false.

Years, but I'm closing to "I don't care". I am nearly sure Saddam had some chemical weapons/research that weren't threatening to anyone except Iraqis.
And when these trace chemicals will be found, the Bushies will explain how these toys could have plunged the world in chaos.

Besides, even if Saddam decided to get rid of all his chemicals before his fall, the Bushies will plant some.
