Thanked: 31[quote=Bruno;316036]If you look at our history, you'll notice that we've been at war with ourselves for over a 1000 years, culminating in 2 world wars.
We now have an unprecedented 64 years of peace, only because we decided after WWII that talking was the only long term survival strategy.
Black and white as in Iraq?
The US went into Iraq alone because we didn't want any part of it, seeing as there was no proof to start it.
Sure, Saddam gave the UN the finger. So we put sanctions in place and talked, and he still gave us the finger. But he was contained. Whatever it was he was doing, he was doing it inside his borders, he had no WMD, and he was not involved with Al qaeda.]
I don't do this often, but I'm going to do it here... I am going on record as telling you all that I personally found, photographed, and reported WMD in Iraq in a bunker complex just east of Fallujah in 2004. Within 40 minutes of submitting my report I was fielding questions from Washington which I couldn't answer because 1: I'd already put everything I knew about it in my report and 2: I didn't have test kits with me (Nor did I ever see any) to be able to specifically identify what it was I was photographing. What I did get were pics of metric tons of chemical weapons and hundreds and hundreds of expended Iraqi army autoinjectors on the ground. While in the complex I was in my promask, but everywhere I had exposed skin, I was burning. Now, what he did NOT have was a weapons system large enough to carry out a direct attack on U.S. soil. But that he had WMD and used them is an indisputable fact, and any argument to the contrary is easily muted by simply googling "Halabja". I do remember saying to the rest of my team right before submitting the report that if "I just got Bush re-elected I'm going to be really f'ing ****ed." Why the official denial of WMD continues is beyond me, but due to that, it makes it easy for the world to do so, sadly. Also, as has been reported in open media, and to which I'm a witness, two nerve gas IED's were detonated on Hwy 6 in southern Baghdad in 2004. He did, indeed, have it. And sorry this comes so late, I've not been on the site for a few days. Oh, I've also spoken to friends who were there in OIF I who also reported finding all sorts of WMD too.
