    The Information an intelligence agency can have is that they have weapons.

    It doesn't mean they know where they are now.

    They may have discovered that they had a weapon at place X , M months ago, and it was transferred to be hidden.

    That doesn't help them to find the weapon at all.

    Especially if Iraq was smart and either destroyed the weapons, or transferred them to Syria. Furthermore they could have had all the people who were in charge of it on the actual level killed. Thus the only ones alive are those who gave the general order to "destroy" the WMD they had. They don't know where evidence is.


    Furthermore, Iraq is currently a haven for intelligence and commando agents from all countries. According to reports quoted from Israeli government meetings, there is a swarm of Iranian agents, doing everything they can to destabilize the area and discredit the USA. And they aren't the only ones (looks at syria, france, russia, saudi arabia).

      I think it short-sighted for the pro-war camp to say that they don't care if WMDs aren't found. If they are found it makes the next invasion of a rogue state far easier as the US won't look like such a bald-faced liar.
      One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

            My main concern is how we handle the occupation/transition to Iraqi self-governance*. The WMDs or lack thereof are now (now that the war happened) secondary to me.

              I don't think you can conclusively make such a call. Without knowing the source(s) of such information, my guess is as good as yours.

                So many rocks to turn over, but some people think it can be done with a snap of the fingers.

                Try and remember that the majority aren't as brilliant as, well, some.

                    No, the load of crap is what you say ALL THE TIME!!! The Bush regime is a manupalitive organisation that makes people beleive what ever they want. And it seems to be working great on you.
                    We ALL know that Saddam has no WMD or **** like that, and all bush was after is OIL, revenge for his father, and oil.
                    If Bush is REALLY after WMD, why doesn't he go in Soudan and Korea? Cuz there is no oil!!!

                    Stop assuming that you know everything when all you do is IMPOSE your stupid beliefs on everyone.

                      Saddam does have weapons of mass destruction whether you like to admit it or not. What have you been watching? Al Jazeera? Get real! You lack the intelligence to understand you have been brainwashed completely.

                      My stupid beliefs? I wouldn't be talking. You hypocrite.. stop acting like an self righteous almighty fool and start accepting the facts!

                        I lack intelligence?!?!

                        OOOHHH!!!! PLEAASEE!! Tell me all you know!!! Tell me the facts!!! Show it to me!!! PLease!!!

                        FACE IT!!! YOU HAVE NO FACTS!!! As for intelligence, I cant stomp you to the ground in a flash in anyway.

                        You change your mind like you change underwear, you dont know what you are talking about, and everyone here knows this, what you call facts is what you beleive in and opinions are proven to be generaly false.

                        Why did you stop posting here? Hmmmm, let me see,........maybe cuz you didn't know what you were talking about and people here got fed up with you and you only got flamed all the time. Nice start over.

                        I dont buy **** from a guy that calls himself a "Progressive middle center left wing corporate capitaliste neo-facist anti-communist".

                        Start sticking to your story and getting it right and then we will talk about what you think about other things.

                        We all know how you are Giancarlo....and a "fact based" talker is not what you are. Why dont you just go and watch FOX news and keep beleiving what you see.

                        Seems like it was better when you wern't on Poly anymore, the atmosphere was better in the threads. There is no way of having a civilized arguement with you, you have to take out insults. I could do that to but you would just probably cry to your mom, I dont want to hurt your fellings...poor little helpless boys.

                        I pitty you.

                          i love the fact that those who watch nothing but fox news or are flagrantly right wing believe that al jazeera was just a mouthpiece for saddam, rather than a real news organization which broadcasted a different side of war.

                          as for weapons of mass destruction:
                          i don't care. saddam, in my eyes, was a bad man, but he was also an s.e.p.~ if he stayed or went, it didn't matter to me.
                          if he had wmd, that's bad. if he didn't, we got rid of him; we just look a little less noble.

                          doesn't matter. i'm not voting for a repeat in 2004, but i sure as hell don't know where my vote is going. prolly will be "wasted" on a third party, nee?

                              It doesn't NEED it to survive but it WANTS it.
                              If Bush wants to free countries like it supposubly did in Iraq, then why dont they go In Nkorea, soudan, Congo, Libya, Chili...anywhere else where people need it? Because there is no ECONOMIC reason to go there. The only reason why the US would interveen (?) anywhere is to make a profit of somekind. You know this, I know this, everyone knows this.

                                I don't care if we find any or not. The causus belli wasn't that we knew they had WMDs, but that there was a good chance they could have them. Saddam was not complying with inspections and contuing his games, so it looked like he had something to hide. Under those circumstances, it was prudent not to believe Saddam that he had no WMDs and take him out.
