Israel and Leba-nin

WMD's?

What, I say what, do they have to do with the utter devastation by Israel of Leba-nin?

 

Not much but Fenian took us down the WMD road and some of his statements needed to be addressed. If they are not, it means they could be mistakenly be taken as accurate.

 

Well, in that case carry on.

Is it me or does Anderson Cooper look terribly out of place, oblong even, trying to cover war?

 

Shameless bump.

 

It's not you.

 

Actually, Boom, you started us down that road, posting your usual irrelevant collection of ancient quotes instead of actually making an argument.
Here, i will type slowly -- there WERE what some people call WMD's in Iraq at some point in the 1990's. We know because we sold a lot of them to them, or watched while other people did. In 2003, when this adminstration, chock-full of people who wanted this war for a decade and criticized Bill Clinton in a letter for not launching it in the 1990's, ginned up a bunch of lies for Colin Powell to spout at the UN, THERE WERE NO WMD'S ANY MORE because the program put in place of inspections-plus-sanctions got rid of them without sticking 130K Americans in a hostile country in the middle of a civil war for the next 10 years.

 

Or they were moved to Syria and Lebanon before we got there.

 

Yes, on magic white unicorns with golden horns.

 

So you don't believe that was possible? Not at all?

 

No, I don't believe that. Not at all.
Because I don't believe it, because I don't believe that, faced with invasion, Saddam Hussein moved his most lethal weapons out of the country, and because almost everything in Colin Powell's UN presentation (25,000 liters of anthrax?) has proven to be (at best) derived from drunks and liars, and because we haven't found any of them, and becauise everything this administration has said about them has turned out to be a lie.
So, no. I don't think so. And neither does any independent monitor.

 

I think the most compelling argument that there is no way WMD got moved from Iraq to Syria or Lebanon is that, quite simply, Israel would never have allowed it to happen.

 

Or, conversely, the most compelling argument is that nobody's fired any of them since the last time we sold out the Kurds.
