Don't ya know by now Tamm, this is a creation of the vast right-wing media. It never happened!

That can't exist. No one believes there's any WMD's. Therefore they can't exist.

[Eiru]

I find it odd that only after we took out Saddam to prevent him from getting WMD into terrorist hands do the WMD show up in terrorist hands.

[Swifty_Johnson]

Actually, the terrorists didn't know it was a sarin gas shell. Looks like they stumbeled into a cache of such weapons. Hopefully we find it soon.

[Tammarion]

To be fair, I'm not that willing to expand one shell into a secret stockpile quite yet. As we've all noticed, Saddam's bookkeeping sucks.

[Eiru]

Swifty, does the fact that the terrorists didn't know it was Sarin change in any way my statement?

[Rooster]

But, now they know what they've found.

This could get ugly, real quick.

The following is intended as humor:

Muhammed 1: "Hey, look at this. I bet if we stick some wires in it, it blow up real good"

Muhammed 2: "What is it?"

Muhammed 1: "Who cares!"

[Swifty_Johnson]

We stopped Saddam from giving terrorists that they would knowingly used on civilian populations killing thousands.

A few terrorists stumbling into a stockpile of shells and picking the one that held Sarin isn't the same thing.

Swifty

[Eiru]

Isn't the same thing as what? Again, how does the fact that these terrorists didn't know they had Sarin change the fact that it was only after Saddam was out of power that we saw WMD in the hands of terrorists?

[Kegg OBeer]

It's incomprehensible that Sadaam got them out of the country before the US invaded? Or that he hid them and these guys stumbled onto one of the hiding places, or were tipped off on the location by one of Sadaam's remaining henchmen to take revenge on the "invaders"?

Everyone is so worried about Iraq having WMD's... I am more worried about the officers in Russia's Navy trying to sell Sub's to whoever wants them... Think they would include weapons for 100K more :P

[PoxTheSmall]

Oh heh, funny you mention it NL, I got one of those the other day, the cost of a Russian sub is a lot less than a house in the San Francisco Bay Area...a joke, but yeah, true, that's much higher on the reality scale.

[Eiru]

LOL! Russian military r teh sux.

When Pepsi hit it big in Russia they had a ton of rubbles and noone in the world would exchange them.

So Pepsi bought lots of old Russian navy ships and barged them to England for scrapping. For a month Pepsi had the third largest Navy in the world.

Syria.

Israeli and US intelligence have both corraborated the info from a Syrian defector in January that much of the WMD Saddam had was transported to Syria.

A former DOJ guy on the news just now said that on July 1 we should invade Syria if they dont hand over the weapons. I think thats a good idea...one less Socialist government taken down.

[Tammarion]

I'm so not touching that one. I really do believe in not accounting in Conspiracy what can be explained by Stupidity. Pretty much every report from Iraq was total garbage on account that everyone was lying to everyone else. How the CIA is being held to a higher standard of knowledge than Saddam himself knew is another discussion.
