23. Well, as long as you're here
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 12:46 AM by WilliamPitt
I'd say those Democrats were wrong too, as evidenced by the fact that nothing but nothing has been found to support the claims. The disinformation provided by the Iraqi national Congress and Ahmad Chalabi goes back to 1997 and before, and was effective. I don't defend these assholes; they didn't do their homework like I did.

I would also say that none of the above pushed an invasion of Iraq that has killed 349 American soldiers, wounded thousands more, and destabilized the world. Most of those captioned above, actually, advocated for weapons inspections and the involvement of the international community.

I would point to the web page on the White House's own website, entitled "Disarm Saddam Hussein" which claims that Iraq has:

26,000 liters of anthrax—enough to kill several million people

38,000 liters of botulinum toxin

500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agents

Almost 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents

Several mobile biological weapons labs. But he has not disclosed them.

An advanced nuclear weapons development program, a design for a nuclear weapon, and was working on methods of enriching uranium for a nuclear bomb. He recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.

He has attempted to purchase high strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons, according to our intelligence sources.

Lies. The Niger uranium claims, and the aluminium tubes claim, are laughable that they still reside on the White House's own website.

I have boated you, gutted you, and hung you on my wall. Punk.
