Mustard gas found in Iraq
 

More already watching it on the news

Time for hot dogs.

they found Sarin gas

And mustard gas.. apparently:Graucho

that still doesnt justify the war
the cia planted it there

Oh wow, then it was clearly worth it. Sounds like he was minutes away from attacking America. :1orglaugh

its always going to be something with you isnt it?

I have a bridge to sell you in IRaq as well

What if they find all 550 of them?

The ones that the UN knew Saddam had

the cia planted those too

Even if he had that many, you think he is a threat to America?

yes I think a dictator who hates america and is known for giving money to suicide bombers poses a thread by having chemical weapons

haha, exactly my point. no matter what we uncover, it'll never be enough for all of you.

How can you NOT think he was a threat to the US?
An IMMEDIATE threat, maybe not. Given enough time and resources he could have done some serious damage. He may not have been able to completely destroy the US, but he could have still done damage.

With what? You think Iraq has the power to develop ICBMs?

If a arab who hate america can pose a threat with a simple box cutter

Then I can't help to think that a arab that hate america who happens to dictate a entire country and happens to have chemical nerve agents poses a threat as well:1orglaugh

Iraq has the power to disturbute chemical weapons for a shared interest

He was a old fucking man what the fuck was he waiting for. Supposedly worth 50 billion dollars and he couldnt buy wmd's ? If he really wanted them.

my point is this: who the fuck are we; the world's police force?

no, we're the first to get the call for help

Sounds like something that came out of bushes mouth.

No they don't unless they plan to smuggle the weapons into the USA with freaking fishing boats. Plus they have to smuggle a shitload which would be impossible.

I guess you have no idea what a ICBM is and how complicated they are. We are talking about missiles that can go from Iraq all the way to USA. You think a country like Iraq can develop something like that? You got to be kidding me :1orglaugh

No we are a country that happens to account for 25% of the world's economy. By doing so it requires us to act upon international interest.

We lost so much money after the market fell apart after 911 we simply cant afford a possible threat

yeah, a fishing boat to mexico, then a truck to the us

Better start going through every single Middle Eastern Country now. Chances are you will find Mustard gas in most of them and I am sure in a weaponized form.

Yes Saddam was a threat and had to be dealth with but imminent no. Rush will have a blast with this one. Just when Bush is falling in the polls they so happen to find something. More rabbits to be pulled out of the hat come election time.

It would take hundreds of thousands of truckloads and I am sure the CIA would catch them pretty easily

:1orglaugh

You smuggle things in the US by putting them in cargo.

Only a small % of cargo is currently inspected

You really believe Saddam would have smuggle hundreds of thousands of tons of Sarin and Mustard gas into the US by truck? LOL if he really wanted to and if it was that easy, then he could have done it 10 years ago :1orglaugh

You crack me up

Perhaps we should have put a portion of the funds that went into the war towards better inspection of incoming over seas cargo. Tighten up our shores instead of causing a complete melee in the middle east.

I am not saying we should have ignored Saddam but he wasnt priority 1 at the time.

It wouldnt take "tons" of nerve gas to fuck up the US economy.

A little bit released in a New York subway would do the job.

And terrorist have already been expected to exploit the flaws in our current sea ports

Why not do both?

Secure the ports and eliminate possible threats

expect more stuff to be "found" just before the election

Hundreds of thousands of truckloads to accomplish what?
They dont need to kill everyone in the US to do damage. Knock out ONE important person and you'll have chaos, which is really all they want to accomplish.
As much as people bash bush, could you imagine if he was killed by an isolated terrorist attack? It would be pure mayhem.

he he he .....they were going to be using Flying Carpets:winkwink:

I agree but I think more thought should have went into this Iraq offensive. They were not priority 1.

A little bit? You remember when that happened in Japan? It did squat compared to what happened on 911. Seriously, you can do allot more damage if they ran into a subway arming with guns and started shooting columbine style.

In order to do massive damage you would need a shitload of nerve gas in a pretty good condition. You need heavy concentration.

Just like the anthrax scares and how the media blow it out of proportion. How many people really died from it?

Well we are talking about mass destruction here, that's what it would take. If they wanted to kill one important person, they can do it JFK style.

im not getting your arguement. if someone went on a subway and started a shooting spree, we shouldnt consider them a threat and go after them? if they killed a few cops, should we just leave it alone because their 1 life isnt worth risking more?

you act like "finding" a few shells justifies our occupation in iraq. nevermind the fact this all started in afghanistan in retaliation to 9/11 not as a full on offensive in iraq

you're as much of an idiot as bush is

You keep quoting the subway, the problem with that attack was delivery, if they had aerosolized the sarin many, many more people would have been dead, instead they used sarin in plastic bags filled with air, they punctured. jeez.

Everyone's a threat. Your mom's a fucking threat, you tool. Do you know how many countries are bigger, and thousands of times more powerful than itty bitty Iraq? Do some research before you spew your nonsense.

We're not concerned about anyone being a threat, obviously. And we're also not concerned about "liberating the people" because if we did we'd take out the Tutsis of Africa because the violence there is definitely worse than that of Iraq.

Ironically though, the Tutsis don't have oil. :2 cents:

what would you consider a proper amount to justify war? how many people should it be able to kill before the us takes action to protect us?

Remember though in Japan it was a weak strain of sarin in liquid form. The maker produced it quickly and the bags left on the train were only punctured allowing quick control. A more potent aerosol strain would be very different.

Regardless Saddam was probably making this shit to use on his own people. I doubt he was an immediate threat to the US with it.

Only problem is Iraq never attacked America :helpme

i think maybe finding it the 1st year we were there would have been good, i also think had we found WMD before we actually captured the tyrannical leader in question that would have sufficed as well, but since it's what? now 6 months after we catch saddam and lost a thousand or so more troops, we've taken 2 steps back in reaching our goals set for iraq and we've had a civilian beheaded for the world to see.

I think it's a little late to justify ANYTHING in iraq, especially since we haven't accomplished the original goal of capturing Osama

I really don't think it would take hundreds of thousands of tons of Sarin and Mustard gas 2 do a little damage.:Graucho

I swear some of you people, would take it out and play with it if you had one, a brain.

so thats the standard? we have to wait until american civilians die before we take action?

If the wind blew a different way that day in Japan it would of been far worse.

Look at this violence. Look at this killing! Why aren't we here too??
