IRAQ: PUT TO SONG(My own work) Please read, worked on it for an hour

[Spiffor]

The "weapons we haven't found" are no fact, they are assumptions. So please stop brainlessly yelling : "you eurocom pacifists should better look at the facts". You'll sound much more credible.

Edit : and by the way, 150 km is what the UN allowed Iraq to possess after Gulf War I. 180 km isn't a long range missile, and you'd need to place it in Mexico or Canada to have it hit the US. 180 km is actually extremely shrt for a missile, since these missiles cannot even cover whole Iraq.

Oh and quickly to respond once again to this. Yes he might have some others we haven't found yet but the onus is on the inspectors to find this proof not to assume like the US does that its there.

Absence of evidence does not always mean that what you are looking for is being hidden from you, it could be that the thing you are looking for does not exist.

If You're Happy And You Know It Bomb Iraq
by John Robbins

If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are Saudi,
And your alibi is shoddy,
And your tastes remain quite gaudy,
Bomb Iraq.

If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think that SUVs,
Are the best thing since sliced cheese,
And your father you must please,
Bomb Iraq.

If the globe is quickly warming, bomb Iraq.
If the poor will soon be storming, bomb Iraq.
We assert that might makes right,
Burning oil is a delight,
For the empire we will fight,
Bomb Iraq.

If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think that someone's dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.

If corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain’t easy,
And your manhood’s getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.

Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might now knows no borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We’ll call it treason,
It's the make war not love season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

Please read resolution 1441. The onus is not to find proof one way or another. The resolution de facto assumes that he does have them based upon reports from UNSCOM in 1998. The onus is on Iraq to account for them.

One would think that an innocent government would be willing to quickly do this to avoid an onslaught of military force. A guilty nation would act like...well they would act like Iraq.

Inform yourself...the world (not just the US) officially operates with the knowledge that Iraq does possess WMD. The political power struggle between the major powers is a different fight where Iraq is just the pawn.

Fertile Crescent
Bad Religion

Come and see the brilliant light
don't let your emotions mask your sight
it's the manifestation of a deeper fight
that affects me and you
my optimism was running high
a new world order was on my mind
but I couldn't belive it when I heard them say
they're blowing it away
and the fertile crescent is burning today
and baby my emotions are too
the cradle of humanity has led us all astray
and we're all in this tigether don't you know
'cause our species has nowhere else to go
aggression rears its ugly head
retaliation brings further dread
the two are linked by unseen threads
that wind back through time
I don't agree with the outdated trend
nationalism is an evil friend
but hatred is instilled by invisible lines
drawn in our minds
and the fertile crescent is haunting us today
and baby our instincts are too
the ghost of humanity is warning us this way
and I think we all should need it don't you know
'cause we've got nowhere else to go

You've Got to Die for Your Government
Anti-Flag

You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's ****!
There's a Gulf War vet, dying a slow, cold death
And the government says, "We don't know the source of his sickness."
But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying
They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again
A secret test, government built virus
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troops"
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's ****!
First World War veterans slaughtered, by General Eisenhower
You give them your life, they give you a stab in the back
Radiation, agent orange, tested on US souls
Guinea pigs for Western corporations
I never have, I never will
Pledge allegiance to their flag
You're getting used, you'll end up dead!
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's ****!
I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don't need you to tell me what to be... **** YOU!
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think! What to think!
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think!
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's ****!

Can't resist.

Maybe we should sack the weapon inspectors for being so incompetent if they haven't found yet all these WoMDs that Iraq possesses.

1.) It would be virtually impossible for the inspectors to find WMD in Iraq when the Iraqi regime is actively trying to hise them. It is afterall a big country. Furthermore, the inspectors mandate is not to find WMD, but to verify its destruction...information which the Iraqis were required to provide but have not.

2.) No intelligence agency has an interest in pointing the inspectors to WMDs fortheir own reasons. French intelligence is geared toward prolonging the inspections in order to try to gain stature in that part of the world and to protect their financial position in the region. US intelligence will not do so for fear of compromising sources that will be desperately needed in the event of war. Most other countries will fall under one of these two reasons.

3.) Resolution 1441 was NEVER intended for inspectors to go to Iraq to look for WMD. The inspectors units were not designed for this purpose. The resolution clearly states that the burden of proof is on Iraq to PROVE that they do not have WMD. So far they have not meet the terms of this resolution.

Therefore, I must agree with your statement...the inspectors should be relieved of their duties and the world should enforce 1441.

Canada has stockpiles of mustard gas? USA doesn't stock any chemical or bioweapons as defined (ie, tear gas and similar non-lethal weapons don't count). If for some reason we wanted them (but why???) it is simpler to make them on demand than to stockpile them and have to worry about contamination, etc.
