Deal with that before you come at me with partizan crap.

The memory loss of the left is quite remarkable. Everybody agreed that SH had WMD-- even Clinton for that matter. They certainly existed. That we haven’t found them yet only means that we haven’t found them yet.

And the memory loss from the right must have the same short-life: the inspections were there to confirm the known WMD had been destroyed, and logic says what was destroyed can no longer be found. Can you prove those WMD were not destroyed? Because that is susceptible of being proven, unlike the opposite.

  
   Much like your interests in the region of Iraq--because your current leaders and the companies that are backing them (not to sound like hop-frog) have much at stake in the area, lets get involved and make up a bunch of half-truths and outright lies to get what we want for America. Never mind that North Korea, which ahs little strategic or resource importance to America is a larger threat to the world in general, never mind that NK has an active nuclear program that we all know about, never mind that you don’t have to go looking under a rosebush to find documents buried over a decade ago...

But NK? The Americans really don’t care about that place *now*. Sure, when it was a battle pf ‘political ideologies’, then NK was very important for you were battling ‘Communism’. But not so much now.

Really? Care to guess how many US troops we have stationed in South Korea? We care a lot.

About the same as in Germany? Which, incidentally, isn’t close to any known “rogue state”?

  
  
   What would you have called the situation previously with the brutal SH in power? It was a mess to begin with.

I would call it a problem for the world leaders to work out, which they were doing until the arrogant self righteous blow hard “lieing thru his teeth’ Dubya got involved. Iraq had *nothing* to do with 9/11. Iraq does not have nuclear capabilities. Iraq could not launch an attack against America, not in a month, day, or 45 minutes. Iraq does not have thousands and thousands of tons of WoMD.

How do you know that, Dave? Because we haven’t found any yet? We haven’t found SH yet-- does he no longer exist?

Does he exist still? Again, that is susceptible of being proven, unlike the opposite. If you can find a guy among 24 million (?), why not find thousands of WMD that are probably just as well hidden?

All the fuss about the Hussein Jrs. is sand to the eyes, one week worth of headlines about how great things are going in Iraq. Then what? Can we finally expect the trophies announced so long ago, or have the WMD migrated to Atlantis?

(...) I was referring to your partisan liberalness. (...) I think you are unaware of how liberal your ideas actually are. I know I'm conservative; I'd bet you think you are pretty moderate... (...) No (thanks to the Israelis). Your refusal to come (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
