U.S. Ends Search For Iraq's WMDs: None Found

I'll type specifics tomorrow, but Hannity talked today about things that are WMDs. I believe that WMDs were discovered.

The question in the poll is invalid.

We didn't fail to find WMD. We just didn't find enough of them to satisfy the left. Fact is, no amount would be enough to satisfy the left.

Groundbreaking discoveries in Iraq have been sweapt under the rug by the media many times. You rarely ever hear about the Al Samoud missiles marked to be loaded with Chemical warheads, or the Canister of Mustard gas they found.

Fact is, a while back I read a headline on AP saying that they found the motherlode, two hours later, that headline was gone and no more was said. Probably was a false alarm, but what triggered it? It raises questions about the media.

But look at it from the other side;

Most of what they found were remnants of the Gulf war. They were old and not well taken care of. This means they were Useless, no longer a threat.

no, I didn't neglect others, I brought up one point that proved you wrong.

Simple, concise and to the point.

I'll grab the other official reports after work.

How can you say "unjustly raided you house".

Anywho, if i'm a cop, and I JUSTLY raid a house because a judge "the congress" said they have a gun, because the police chief "the UN" said they have a gun, and because most of the public in the area "the majority of US population" thought they had a gun; and I find a delapitated old gun hidden somewhere. I will call it evidence, and convict the CRIMINAL.

u liberals always think that you are right when you could possibly be wrong.

I am not saying I am right but I do know that there were WMDS but why still fight over it now.

Just worry about yourselves and your own lives instead of worrying about this crap.

People just like to argue all the time.

Hell yea there was no need for the war No WMD's = No War what could sadam do use harsh langauge? there was no need for this war and look what has happened over 1300 of our troops dead now.

[lionhead]

it was kinda funny. American inspector coming too iraq too find WMD's and then they get there and the iraqi people tell them they have places where they may not search for them. Obviously thats where the WMD lay and now they are gone, flown too Africa again or something.


Its stupid

If the WMDs exist then they simply cannot find it.

" Many people who went and found some possible WMDs have said that those things they found are not WMDs because they no threat to people "

So the truth is people have given up searching for any WMDs because it simply doesn't exist or they are just tired of searching for it.

You make up your mind, but you tell me if these constitute WMDs. I say yes. So you tell me if I (and Hannity) am right, or if the mainstream media and left-wing Democrats are right. Now, I quote the Great Sean Hannity:

"In April, 2003 US Weapons Inspectors took control of 500 tons of Uranium that Saddam kept stored at his former Nuclear Weapons developement plant just south of Baghdad. British nuclear physisist (can't make out the name, Norman D. something, I believe) estimated that if they had been fully enriched, Saddam's Uranium stockpile could have produced 142 Hiroshima-sized nuclear bombs. ...So you can either believe the Media, that says that no Weapons of Mass Destruction were found, or you could think, 'Hey, that sounds like a Weapon of Mass Destruction to me, or potential.'

Then in June of 2004, the US Energy Department took posession of 1.8 tons of partially enriched Uranium that had been stored in the same nuclear facility, saying that the banned material could have been used to produce so-called 'Dirt Bombs.'"

"...When he was debriefed by US intelligence in late 2003, Dr. Madi Obidi (something like that), this guy, remember, he was Saddam's chief scientist incharge of perfecting centerfuge (I think) technology. Remember the NY Times article on this? It revealed that he had been ordered under Penalty of Death to hide top-secret centerfuge plans along with some actual components and keep them ready for future use. His documents appear in his 2004 book, if you recall, 'The Bomb in my Garden.'"

"...Or in July of 2003, a US Marine on patrol outside of Baghdad stumbled over a metal object...and then after a little digging with his hands, he determined that the object was the tail-fin of an aircraft. ...Before the escavation team was out, they discovered 30 state-of-the-art Ruassian-built combat aircraft. The find represented approximately 1/3 of Saddam's Gulf War-era airforce. Iraqi technicians had carefully packed the aircrafts to make sure that they could be used in the future."

"Then, in August of 2003, an Iraqi survey group--this is the one led by Charles Dufler--announced that they had found dozens of unexploded artiliary shells loaded with sarin gas and blistering agents."

"Then, in February of 2003, in his speech to the United Nations, Colin Powell played those audio tapes of Iraqi military officials talking about getting rid of Weapons of Mass Destruction that they had in late 2002. Remember, for example, the Iraqi Colonel said, quote, 'We have this modified vehicle. What do we say if one of them sees it?' Then the Iraqi general responds, 'I'll come see you in the morning. I'm worried. You all have something left.' The Colonel says, 'We've evacuated everything. We don't have anything left.' The General, 'I'll come see you tomorrow.' What do you think they were hiding?"

"In August 2004, the Washington Times reported, 'Saddam Hussein periodically removed guards on the Syrian border and replaced them with his own intelligence agents, who supervised the movement of banned materials between the two countries, US investigators have discovered. Two defense sources told the Washington Times that those Iraqis who've been interviewed, who've told of Saddam dispatching his trusted Iraqi intelligence service members to the border where they would send border inspectors away. The ship was followed by movement of trucks in and out of Syria suspected of carrying materials banned by UN sanctions. Once the shipments were made, the agents would leave, and the regular border patrol guards would resume their post.'"

"...we know he had them. We know he used them. We know that he never cooperated. And for this to be held out by the left as a constant montra of attack against President Bush shows me that they are still working to undermine this war effort, and the people that are involved in it."

Alright, so you make up your own mind. But if these don't prove WMDs, then I'm Michael Moore. How could bush have lied?

Why do you keep bringing political parties into it?

I know plenty of people on all sides that disagree with this war.
