kallend 2,118 #51 October 27, 2004 QuoteQuoteIt's done by a select few for the specific purpose of serving their sadistic desires. Deliberately insulting people whether directly or by association is not conducive to civilized conversation and only serves to demonstrate viscious, petty and anti-social behavior. I agree. Does this mean you'll stop attacking and/or insulting either directly or by association? Cool beans. (Not directed at PK anymore...) This is the funniest story I've seen. I mean, let's see. 380 tons go missing after the UN say it's there, and part of the WMD. (January or February, 2003...I think...) The UN leaves. So does the 380 tons. It's reported that it's gone at the time (April 2003). Then, just before the election, the story comes out like it's brand new. Like we don't remember what happened. Oh hell, like we can't google things and find things out. Kerry's running a commercial that says "and now, 380 tons of explosives have gone missing...". Now? NOW??.... So that leaves us with three options.... A. The media thinks we're stupid. B. Kerry thinks we're stupid. C. Both of the above.... LOL.... Ciels- Michele 1. UN has 380 tons of explosives (and a lot of nuclear materials) secured and sealed. 2. Bush tells UN to leave because US is going to invade. 3. UN leaves 4. US invades, secures oil facilities The nasty stuff goes missing sometime after step 3. 5. News finally breaks, US DoD announced an investigation Seems like Bush bears a whole lot of the blame here. If they could secure the oil wells, why couldn't they secure the nasty stuff since they knew where it was.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

The US military never had control off those munitions!!! When they got to the sight after Bagdad fell they were already gone!!! This was confirmed today by NBC and the imbeded reported that when in with then in April 2003. The UN put out this info yesterday and they new the facts. No agenda with those bribed FH's huh You're right....I did make an error there in my statement. The US military didn't have direct control of the munitions. The UN did, they had it tagged, sealed, and inventoried and ready for disposal. Then we invaded, the UN left, told us where those tagged, sealed and inventoried munitions were and we didn't do anything to secure them. If those explosives are now in the hands of terrorists, it is a direct result of Bush's actions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were gone before we got there because we did nothing to secure them. If we had made efforts to secure them, then they wouldn't be gone. QuoteThe reason these supplies, (powders only!) are missins is because France, Russia, Japan and Germany were under bribes to stop the invasion at the UN level and it gave Iraq time to move them as they had done before. The reason these supplies are gone is because the UN team that had them secured was pulled out because of our impending invasion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It disturbs me that you have such an influence over developing influential young minds. Bush certainly isn’t responsible for what went on in Iraq prior to us taking over the country. The UN proved itself many times in this case over the course of more than a decade to be ineffective, incompetent, and corrupt. How is it “under Bush’s watch” if the stuff was moved and hidden prior to the invasion or before it was completed? That would be like saying, if Saddam had been threatening to kill 100 hostages prior to our invading and followed through once we did, that what Saddam did was also Bush’s fault. This whole thing is a very weak and panicked attempt to influence the election yet another time within recent months by the liberal media. Pathetic!

Actually, I think it's funny that the liberals being associated with math and science on these forums has a pretty high correlation. Smooth transition from A to B but can't seem to accurately come up with C. Define "association with math & science." Do you have to teach it? Otherwise, I know plenty who are both Democrat & Republican. My wife being a Republican with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics. She went on to Med School and now works as an OB/GYN Physician. I don't think you can accurately make the insinuation that Democrats are the elite intellectuals and Republicans are just poor, dumb, and misguided. There's a reason why they call it a liberal college or university. I graduated from one. I can understand why Kallend might lean so far to the left.
