Saddam Hussein had no means with which to attack the US, and knew from the bitter experience of the Iraqi-Kuwaiti war that if he provoked us, the result would be devastating. That is why when faced with imminent invasion, he caved and allowed UNMOVIC full, unfettered access, a level of cooperation characterized by Blix as "unprecedented". Then we invaded anyhow. What exactly do you think was pre-empted--a scud missile attack on Chicago? A threat to the US? He didn't even control the Northern third of his own country! He couldn't fly a military aircraft over or turn on a targetting radar in two thirds of his won country without it being shot down or blown up. The worse he did outside of Iraq was promise to pay some teenager's families if they went over to Israel and blew himself up. That's pretty foul but it pales in comparison to the actions of the likes of Bashir. -- FF |

"Fred the Red Shirt" wrote Any lingering doubt was gone by the time Baghdad fell. If Saddam Hussein had any WMD, surely he would have used them by then. What would he save them for, the next US invasion? Perhaps he would not have used them because of the hinted threat that the US might consider using tactical nukes if he did. -- Jim in NC |

You mean delayed inspections, with truck convoys leaving the compound before allowing the inspectors to enter? That is full and unfettered access? Unprecedented cooperation. Please. That alone was enough for me to believe that he was hiding something. I'm still not convinced that the WMD's didn't leave for neighboring terrorist states. -- Jim in NC |

FF But he could have easlily moved some of those mobile labs of the type that were found in Iraq The Vatican could also easily be hiding a massive cache of WMD. There is no evidence for that, just like there is no evidence that Iraq shipped WMD to Iran. The mobile labs found in Iraq had nothing to do with WMD. So it really doesn't matter if he moved any anywhere now does it? and truck loads of WMD to Iran just as he bugged out most of his air force during the '91 war. How did he make them, magic? How did he destroy the evidence of their manufacture, magic? Why is it that we have Iraqi nuclear scientists and rocket scientists who came forward with bits and pieces leftover from Iraq's nuclear and missile programs but not one person has produced any evidence of WMD being made in Iraq in the ten years before the invasion? And finally, although Saddam Hussein was not known for his military brilliance, can you suggest why he would ship his most fearsome weapons to an other country, putting them out of his reach, on the eve of invasion when he was about to need them more than ever? Why not accept the simplest explanation consistent with the facts? -- FF |

And it didn't try to assassinate an ex-president, either I suppose. LOL. I disagree.

You have to stop getting your history from www.revisionist.com... ;-) If you're REALLY interested in what UNMOVIC thought at the time of the invasion, you should read their March 2003 report Not only does it blow your "unfettered access" claim out of the water - errrr, air (this is a flying ng, after all), but they stated that Iraq probably had (among many other things) 10,000 liters of anthrax ready to deploy... and the abilty to manufacture LOTS of WMD in short order in one of their many "dual-use" facilities. http://www.un.org/Depts/unmovic/docu...luster6mar.pdf Of course, those whose "true religion" the above HISTORICAL FACTS upset will get their knickers in a twist and call me names for having the audacity to cite actual history instead of media spin. What exactly do you think was pre-empted--a scud missile attack on Chicago? Read the report above. A threat to the US? He didn't even control the Northern third of his own country! He couldn't fly a military aircraft over or turn on a targetting radar in two thirds of his won country without it being shot down or blown up. The worse he did outside of Iraq was promise to pay some teenager's families if they went over to Israel and blew himself up. That's pretty foul but it pales in comparison to the actions of the likes of Bashir. So if Iraq wasn't a threat, why did all the following people say: "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." - Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998 "He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten time since 1983." - Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18,1998 "[WE] urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." - Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI), Tom Daschle (D-SD), John Kerry( D - MA), and others Oct. 9,1998 "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." - Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998 "Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." - Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 "There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." - Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001 "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." - Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002 "We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002 "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." - Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002 "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9,2002 "There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years . We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002 "He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" - Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002 "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members.. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002 "We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002 "Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real" - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 |
