Nukes in Iraq

Excellent comment and you deserve a big fat (+) for that one! Agreed about the UN and the US. I dont like bashing the US, but I think if we made one mistake after World War II it is putting the UN in New York It should have been in Switzerland, and then it would have more credence!! People now think that the UN is part of the US and of course it is not!

ofcourse its not part of the US its the biatch of the US

smbilalshah I dont understand biatch???

Correct! When Saddam invaded Kuwait he launched his Russian made SCUD's It does'nt take much to think that he could adapt these to take Nukes or Chemical!

i think u r just another american idiot if Saddam had any he should have used em against US and besides US has the biggest arsenal Isral has WMDs then y not any muslim country? oh i get it it becomes a threat to Israel and to the US supremecy plans posts like these realy force me to say that world is full of idiots and coz of such idiots zionists cotrol the world today

i completely agreee wid mr.shah if saddam had WMDs y didnt he used it against enemies?? wat was he waiting for??was he waiting for u to come in the field?? and secondly,if he even had those wepons so wat american storage facilities r greater than whole of iraq then y to mention just to depos greater than manhattan? israel has even nukes then y dont u call them terrorist?y dont u consider them as threat to world?? america has weapons israel has weapons weapons that could destroy approx whole of world but this not a threat to world?? say clearly that the threat to world means threat to israel n anti muslim elements y r u concealing ur intentions in the name of wmds nukes terrorist,etc say clearly!!

There were no weapons of mass destruction and that is a FACT and if you can dig up a bit of sand and find a Russian plane then why not dig up more and find the missiles. Maybe with that smart technology that you have in space, that can look at what car you have outside you door, and use it find those weapons?

yeah, obviously the US is likely to attack South Korea with nukes. Obviously the US intends to "wipe Israel off the map". And of course, the US is likely to use its nukes against Kuwait, Kurds, or Israel. Wait, those are North Korea's, Iran's, and Iraq's (respectively) self professed goals or aspirations. Its not the US that says who can or can't have WMD's, the entire global community agrees those countries should not have nuclear capabilities.

QUOTE nuffsed If one expected to ever fly the plane again, wouldn't one wrap it up against the sand? I guess this is a picture of a scrap aeroplane. It doesn't even prove that it is Iraq, or what decade. Just a dessert somewhere. lol UNQUOTE He was beaten in 1991 in the First Gulf War!! He knew what was coming and wanted to save his Airforce! My argument is..... If they can hide this sort of thing, surely it is possible to hide anything!! Dont forget, HE DID gas the Iranian people during the war with Iran!

Many Iraqi authorities have also confirmed the presence of the programs and weapons as well. :) Don't forget that the UN admits they aren't very good at inspecting and that they aren't even done searching everything yet.

Nuffsed, what you do not know is that you are dealing with robots - beings that do not think and cannot reason! Truth and facts mean nothing to these beings whatsoever. You can sing truth and facts all day long to these beings, and they will just keep parroting whatever they were programmed to parrot. Just remember that you are dealing with robots! Yes, machines! They can only operate under directives of their programmers! Robots just do not think and cannot reason!

Netsbridge is right. WIth so much rhetoric and baseless accusations and rumors so obviously common in todays society, media, and culture, it is impossible to try to argue against the Bush Derangment Syndrome liberals. Everyone is blinded by what Jon Stewart and pop-culture tell them. Molehills are mountains when ignorance and lemmings come in. :)

to continue.... Ford was angry that Tenet and McLaughlin persisted in portraying the labs as real several months after they had been duly warned that they existed only in the imagination of intelligence analysts who, in their own eagerness to please, had glommed onto second-hand tales told by a con-man appropriately dubbed “Curveball.” In fact, Tenet and McLaughlin had been warned about Curveball long before they let then-Secretary of State Colin Powell shame himself, and the rest of us, by peddling Curveball’s wares at the U.N. Security Council on February 5, 2003. After the war began, those same analysts, still “leaning forward,” misrepresented a tractor-trailer found in Iraq outfitted with industrial equipment as one of the mobile bio-labs. Former U.N. weapons inspector David Kay, then working for NBC News, obliged by pointing out the equipment “where the biological process took place... Literally, there is nothing else for which it could be used.” George Tenet knows a good man when he sees him. A few weeks later he hired Kay to lead the Pentagon-created Iraq Survey Group in the famous search to find other (equally non-existent, it turned out) “weapons of mass destruction.” (Eventually Kay, a scientist given to empirical evidence more than faith-based intelligence, became the skunk at the picnic when, in January 2004, he insisted on telling senators the truth: “We were almost all wrong—and I certainly include myself here.” But that came later.) On May 28, 2003, CIA’s intrepid analysts cooked up a fraudulent six-page report claiming that the trailer discovered earlier in May was proof they had been right about Iraq’s “bio-weapons labs.” They then performed what could be called a “night-time requisition,” getting the only Defense Intelligence Agency analyst sympathetic to their position to provide DIA “coordination,” (which was subsequently withdrawn by DIA). On May 29, President George W. Bush, visiting Poland, proudly announced on Polish TV, “We have found the weapons of mass destruction.” When the State Department's Intelligence and Research (INR) analysts realized that this was not some kind of Polish joke, they “went ballistic,” according to Ford, who immediately warned Colin Powell that there was a problem. Tenet must have learned of this quickly, for he called Ford on the carpet, literally, the following day. No shrinking violet, Ford held his ground. He told Tenet and McLaughlin, “That report is one of the worst intelligence assessments I’ve ever read.” This vignette—and several like it—are found in Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War by Michael Isikoff and David Corn, who say Ford is still angry over the fraudulent paper. Ford told the authors: It was clear that they [Tenet and McLaughlin] had been personally involved in the preparation of the report... It wasn’t just that it was wrong. They lied.

What I am saying is that IF THEY CAN HIDE MiG's what else can they hide?

There is an Arms Agreement between the two countries!

Thanks You are correct, he COULD have hidden them! No one WANTS War! You think that the Iraqi people were happy living under the Saddam Hussein Rule?? What about all the rejoicing when his statues were being pulled down??

Yes I have! Thanks! Of course it does not prove anything! What it DOES prove, is the fact that the Lying "Git" would do ANYTHING to get around the UN resolutions! And..... Yes, trying to find solutions is difficult! See my post:- http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/260180.aspx Thanks!

You need to have posted over 500 topics or replies!

They were gaining the CAPABILITY to manufacture them, which is against UN rules! Why did he throw out the weapons insprectors??

I sincerely hope that you are wrong!! We have had TWO of those! No-one I know wants to go down that road!

So do I! I was actually saying that maybe just MAYBE they had the CAPABILITY !!!

see my comment above!

Sometimes it is difficult to find the truth, but you have to keep searching for it!

Actually I would suggest that the MAIN reason is so that the US can have SOME kind of Influence in the Middle East due to the rapid rise of Islamic Fundamentalism! You are of course, right about the Oil Reserves, but Iraq is not the last reservoir! See:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves#Oil_exploration QUOTE This nonsense about bad intentions, if you apply it to every country that is developing powerful weapons, would mean a eternal war against every nation UNQUOTE Isnt that why we have the UN??? Isnt that why we have The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, instigated by the way by YOUR Country (Ireland)

The trouble with going to war, is the fact that, no only do you have to win the war, but you also have to win the peace! Now........... The Iraqi Army was beaten, and they surrendered! The problem now is, the US is having a very hard time of trying to re-build the Country! I am not trying to justify the fact of whether is was legal or not legal! Iraq was given the choice of complying with the UN resolutions about the weapons inspectorate, or face the consequences! He (Saddam) chose the latter! What happens to the region when the US and Coalition Forces are withdrawn remains to be seen!
