WHAT DID THE INSPECTORS FIND?
Edited on Fri Nov-11-05 08:32 AM by underpants
Any talk about who voted for what and who thought what and what did the Iraqi War Resolution actually say and what did 1441 actually say is moot. All of the was before we attacked and BEFORE the weapons inspectors were in Iraq....see between all the pre-war events and the actual war there was WHAT DID THE INSPECTORS FIND? sorry cut to the chase there.

WHAT DID THE INSPECTORS FIND?

Hans Blix and UNMOVIC and Baradei and the IAEA all have Rumsfeld top 100 list WHAT DID THE INSPECTORS FIND? sure Rummmy dragged his feet giving them the whole list (a dealing tactic that sounds kind of familiar) but they did eventually get all of the most likely places to inspect WHAT DID THE INSPECTORS FIND?

Any fair conversation of the Iraq war from now on will ask

WHAT DID THE INSPECTORS FIND?

Maybe not the ones in the New York Times maybe not this year but in the years to come the main question will always be

WHAT DID THE INSPECTORS FIND?

All timelines contain the inspections and their place between the run up to war and the war itself.

1. And one of the big conservative lies was that they found WMD
It's the extrapolation from finding "prohibited items".

Just so's you are ready.

3. "Well you know they DID find WMD"
I have heard that from two different people. I also heard it before that while running lunchtime errands, what to guess where I heard that while running lunchtime errands in my car????

Yeah I know they have gotten this back out there. One person who said this should have known better (not to say it to me just not to say it at all) the other guy it didn't surprise me to tell you the truth.


What WMD did they find? If pushed the one guy pointed out the 12 artillery shells that had had something in them at one point, the other just knew that they had found some.

4. I saw it yesterday on a board.
There was a book published by somebody. I just ask for the DOD press release. After all, it's such amazing info, you would think Bush or the RNC or the DOD or somebody official would have noticed.

It's a lie that not even Bush or the WH dares tell, so they have right wing media tell it for them. They don't correct it, it becomes another tidbit of conservative facts lodged in the brains of the true believers.

7. They found what they
already knew was there and under UN lock and key and no resumption of their nuclear program. Also, Hussein offered them up the country to search as long as they wanted if he was allowed safe passage to live in exile. Only war fit the neocon agenda and was already decided upon.
