Al Qa Qaa wasn't just some little weapons storage unit
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 06:01 AM by DoYouEverWonder
It was one of the major facilities for Saddam's WMD and conventional weapons programs. This site and Tuwaitha were the main reasons supposedly for why we invaded Iraq. Too bad Rummie and Co forgot that part after the invasion.

1. Nice imagery
This and the story on Salon about the other ammo facility which was looted (coming from Army intel personnel) make it seem like some one very powerful has it in for bushco.

He's accomplished his mission of sending the republic to the trash bin, now they're letting him go.

2. Why, it's almost like they wanted an insurgency..huh?
Nothing these guys do makes any sense until after the next, even larger, outrage.

3. They needed an excuse to stay in Iraq
so that they could bring war and instability to the rest of the Middle East. What a plan, hey?

4. Yeah - Iraqi elections coming this January....
And I'm sure we'll just stand by as al Sistani and/or al Sadr gets elected and throws our ass (and our partially completed multi-billion dollar military bases) out of Iraq. Suuure we will...

5. That's why they had to use private, no bid contracts
They couldn't let the rest of the world see what they were really building in Iraq. Wouldn't you love to see the satellite photos?

6. Maybe Katherine Harris could go over and supervise?
Seems to be her expertise.
