Iraqi WMD's Finally Found? In Syria?

[Buford]

Sada details how the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria in the weeks leading up to the US-led operation to eliminated Hussein’s weapons threat.

rather than using them ... whats your point?

and they were well documented by their use against the Curds a decade earlier with no response from the US.

they found nothing (new) they claimed existed as reason for their unprovoked and unfunded invasion of a sovereign nation.

The Curds.... he gassed the Curds? Yummy.

That's whey funny.

My point is that they did not find them because they were moved to Syria. Is that so hard to grasp?

they were already known to exist prior to the "first" Iraqi war and not the reason for Bush II - Cheney trumped-up invasion.

and some were found in Iraqi and discounted for the same reason as above.

If you were a dictator who knew that he could hide his WMD's and maybe escape some punishment that was coming, wouldn't you do that? Instead of using chemical weapons on American troops? Who is really going to use chemical weapons on American troops?

Knowing that the US would never use any of it's nuclear weapons again, what would Saddam have to lose? He already knew he was facing the largest, most powerful military our tax dollars could buy, and had ZERO chance of being victorious against it. Saddam's stand in the sand, was nothing but a suicide mission and he knew it. Why NOT use the chemical weapons he supposedly had?

In all fairness if Saddam used his chemical weapons the gloves would have come off, Iraq would have been pounded into submission with everything we had. It would have been Armaggadon for them and he knew that, which is why he didn't use chemical weapons against us in the Gulf War either.

So, you are saying Bush fought this Iraq war like we fought Vietnam? With one hand tied behind our backs? Why?

What do you mean? we didn't have enough troops and the game plan after we took Baghdad was poor but what do you mean by 1 hand tied behind our back?

 

[Buford]

Anyone with a brain knows the WMDs went to Syria. Saddam was a Bathist and so is Assad. Duh!!

Really? So, why didn't Bush know this? And why did we keep fighting in Iraq for so long?

I never said Bush didn't know it. The movement of the WMDs probably happened when all the crap at the UN was happening.

We kept fighting because the Islamists kept fighting. Duh!!

So....if Bush knew Saddam moved the WMD to Syria, and (according to Bush), the reason we were invading Iraq was because of said WMD, why did we invade Iraw, as opposed to Syria?

Iraq would have been bombed back to the stone age if they used chemical weapons on our troops.

The GOP thugs told us they had "WMD's and we know where they are", and were already found for the reason for the Iraq war. Does this now confirm W and the GOP were lying to us?

Hey, asshat, many prominent Dems including Clinton told us back in the nineties they had WMD's.

They had WMD's.

"Iraq does not represent any threat to the United States at this time. Their weapons programs have been exaggerated by the Clinton Administration." - Tom Delay, 1999

"We are now convinced Saddam has no weapons of mass destruction or active programs." -President Bill Clinton, August 9th, 2000

"We do not have any direct evidence that Iraq has used the period since Desert Fox to reconstitute its WMD programs" -George Tenet, 2/07/2001

"We believe the sanctions have been effective, and Saddam Hussein's regime has no weapons of mass destruction." -Condoleeza Rice, February 16th, 2001

"Containment has been achieved, and we now believe Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction or the capability of producing them." -Colin Powell, February 23rd, 2001

"He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors" -Colin Powell, 2/24/2001

"The Iraqi regime militarily remains fairly weak. It doesn't have the capacity it had 10 or 12 years ago. It has been contained. " -Colin Powell, 5/15/01

"He [Saddam] does not control the northern part of his country. We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt. " -Condoleeza Rice, 7/29/01

From the OP's link.

Nine years after George W. Bush invaded Iraq in his quest to find and dispose of the Weapons of Mass Destruction that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was harboring, we may finally know exactly where these weapons are.
If this is true, George W. Bush’s war in Iraq ceases to be an “unwarranted, illegal” war as many have called it. If this is true, then Bush’s suspicions about WMD’s in Iraq will be validated.
All evidence points to the transfer of Iraqi WMD’s to Syria in the weeks and months leading up to US invasion during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Prime Minister of Israel has said it. A top general in the Iraqi Air Force has said it.
Only time will tell whether there truly were Weapons of Mass Destruction were in Iraq. Unfortunately, that information will likely come at the expense of innocent lives slaughtered by their own government—the exact thing that George W Bush was trying to prevent
===================================

Now it would be actually great if we did find Iraq's WMD's! It would untarnish the US's image some and prove the US had every right to invade Iraq. But,,only if it's true.

Maybe she has forgotten that the Russian advisers to Saddam told him chemical weapons would have no effect on our troops and it would just make us extremely determined.

 

[konradv]

Did anyone see in the article evidence that WMDs were actually found?

Iraq would have been bombed back to the stone age if they used chemical weapons on our troops.

And we didn't do this why? Imagine how many US personnel could have been saved if only Bush was REALLY mad at Saddam?

Invading Iraq after 9/11

Made about as much sense as invading Mexico after Pearl Harbor

Or ...

Maybe we didn't find them because they didn't exist.

Is that so hard to grasp?

READ THE FULL STORY HERE Cameron Harris: Iraqi WMD's Finally Found?




In 2003, American forces entered Iraq on the pretense that Saddam Hussein was harboring Weapons of Mass Destruction. Since that invasion, George W. Bush has faced harsh criticism from many for starting a war that was “unjustified.” While it is true that American forces never found evidence of such WMD’s, it was never entirely proven that these weapons did not exist. There was never any concrete indication of where these weapons may be…until now.

Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria is currently in conflict with a group of Syrian rebels who call themselves the Free Syrian Army. The country is in full civil war, and the leader is beginning to panic. It is a common assumption that he will soon give the order to begin using chemicals weapons against the rebels and even civilians. The United States and Israel know that he has such weapons, but it is unclear where exactly these weapons came from.

However, the number two general in Saddam Hussein’s air force says that these chemical weapons are the WMD’s that we did not find in Iraq.

In 2006, Georges Sada, second in command of the Iraqi Air Force under Hussein before he defected, wrote a detailed narrative called “Saddam’s Secrets.” In this book, Sada details how the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria in the weeks leading up to the US-led operation to eliminated Hussein’s weapons threat.

"Only time will tell whether there truly were Weapons of Mass Destruction were in Iraq. Unfortunately, that information will likely come at the expense of innocent lives slaughtered by their own government—the exact thing that George W Bush was trying to prevent."

So George W. Bush ordered the murder, maiming, displacement, or incarceration of one in four Iraqis.
How many innocent people died in Iraq today (7/23/12) in the aftermath of Bush's illegal invasion?

Because the rage at the time was to rebuild Iraq into a democracy, kind of hard to do that if you bomb them back into the dark ages.

Oh....I could have sworn Bush said we needed to invade Iraq because he was a threat to the US and it's allies because of his WMD cache?

This.

My "conservatives" like to go with the cuddly, feel-good motive of freeing the country, but the original reason was Saddam was a threat due to his WMDs and nuclear program.

Oh ... did we find the nuclear program yet?
