billvon 3,107 #4 June 3, 2003 Some quotes from conservatives on the issue: Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. Dick Cheney, August 26, 2002 Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons. George Bush, September 12, 2002 If he declares he has none, then we will know that Saddam Hussein is once again misleading the world. Ari Fleischer, December 2, 2002 We know for a fact that there are weapons there. Ari Fleischer, January 9, 2003 We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more. Colin Powell, February 5, 2003 We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have. George W. Bush, February 8, 2003 So has the strategic decision been made to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction by the leadership in Baghdad? . . . I think our judgment has to be clearly not. Colin Powell, March 7, 2003 Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. George W. Bush, March 17, 2003 Well, there is no question that we have evidence and information that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, biological and chemical particularly . . . all this will be made clear in the course of the operation, for whatever duration it takes. Ari Fleisher, March 21, 2003 We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat. Donald Rumsfeld, March 30, 2003 I'm absolutely sure that there are weapons of mass destruction there and the evidence will be forthcoming. We're just getting it just now. Colin Powell, May 4, 2003 We never believed that we'd just tumble over weapons of mass destruction in that country. Donald Rumsfeld, May 4, 2003 U.S. officials never expected that "we were going to open garages and find" weapons of mass destruction. Condoleeza Rice, May 12, 2003 I just don't know whether it was all destroyed years ago -- I mean, there's no question that there were chemical weapons years ago -- whether they were destroyed right before the war, (or) whether they're still hidden. Maj. Gen. David Petraeus, May 13, 2003 For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on. Paul Wolfowitz, May 28, 2003 It was a surprise to me then — it remains a surprise to me now — that we have not uncovered weapons, as you say, in some of the forward dispersal sites. Believe me, it's not for lack of trying. We've been to virtually every ammunition supply point between the Kuwaiti border and Baghdad, but they're simply not there. Lt. Gen. James Conway, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, May 30, 2003 Do I think we're going to find something? Yeah, I kind of do. . . Maj. Gen. Keith Dayton, May 30, 2003 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #5 June 3, 2003 QuoteMaj. Gen. David Petraeus, May 13, 2003 Holy crap....I know that guy! Used to work with him at Bragg and he was on a 5 way with me when I had my "Two Out" ride. Nice guy..good leader. Too bad he spiraled himself in and broke his pelvis in 3 places. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #6 June 3, 2003 Some may argue that Saddam Hussein, his sons and his regime were weapons of mass destruction. Sort of like Hitler. Is anyone happy that there are many Iraqis who are no longer being murdered, tortured or brutalized by that regime?

billvon 3,107 #7 June 3, 2003 >Some may argue that Saddam Hussein, his sons and his regime >were weapons of mass destruction. Sort of like Hitler. Maybe we could call AK-47's weapons of mass destruction! They have lots of them, if you fired ten thousand of them all at once . . . . >Is anyone happy that there are many Iraqis who are no longer >being murdered, tortured or brutalized by that regime? Definitely, and I have no doubt that the 'liberation of Iraq' will end up being what the war is about if we can't find any WMD's, as I predicted a while back: ---------------------------- (bodypilot90 said) >they will have thier proof when we free Iraq . . . I doubt that. I think the same thing will happen in Iraq that happened in Afghanistan i.e. the initial objective will be to 'get' someone or something, which we will change retroactively to "hey, we're fighting a war of liberation; that's the important thing" when we can't find much in the way of WMD's (or Hussein himself, for that matter.)

SkyDekker 1,465 #8 June 3, 2003 QuoteIs anyone happy that there are many Iraqis who are no longer being murdered, tortured or brutalized by that regime? I am very happy that that is the case. However, that is not now and has never been the argument. If that was the stated objective, there is quite a list of countries were identical violations of Human Rights are taking place.
