Wikileaks reveals WMDs

[RoccoR]

ginscpy, et al,

This is an interesting prediction!

Recent study showing volunteer military is filled by a lot of risk-takers /loose cannons

The draft is a cross-section of society

3 freaking years at most................

I don't think it will come about that way. But we shall see.

Cmike, WMDs are not chemistry labs in high schools or inert artillery shells with traces of mustard gas. Either you believe Bush or you don't, but you don't get to both keep and eat your cake. For heaven's sake, man up.

I am sure that Saddam Hussein was going to leave a big pile of WMD right in the middle of his palace with a big sign saying all the evidence is here

As I stated previously he had months to get rid of it by transfereing and destroying it. Most if was sent to Syria or looted.

I made this analogy before. If a murderer who knows that the police are closing in on him, and he knows they are closing in on him, gets rid of his gun, it doesn't meant that the gun never existed.

Why is this so difficult for the libs to understand?

Cmike, you are entitled to your internet opinion. You are as crafty as the birthers and the truthers; in other words, you don't do this well. The objective facts of the matter are overwhelmingly against your contention, which is fine that you have one, but it is just that your contention is epic fail.

Gotta love Wikileaks.

By late 2003, even the Bush White House’s staunchest defenders were starting to give up on the idea that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But for years afterward, WikiLeaks’ newly-released Iraq war documents reveal, U.S. troops continued to find chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins, and uncover weapons of mass destruction.
An initial glance at the WikiLeaks war logs doesn’t reveal evidence of some massive WMD program by the Saddam Hussein regime — the Bush administration’s most (in)famous rationale for invading Iraq. But chemical weapons, especially, did not vanish from the Iraqi battlefield. Remnants of Saddam’s toxic arsenal, largely destroyed after the Gulf War, remained. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the Iraq conflict — and may have brewed up their own deadly agents.
In August 2004, for instance, American forces surreptitiously purchased what they believed to be containers of liquid sulfur mustard, a toxic “blister agent” used as a chemical weapon since World War I. The troops tested the liquid, and “reported two positive results for blister.” The chemical was then “triple-sealed and transported to a secure site” outside their base.
Three months later, in northern Iraq, U.S. scouts went to look in on a “chemical weapons” complex. “One of the bunkers has been tampered with,” they write. “The integrity of the seal [around the complex] appears intact, but it seems someone is interesting in trying to get into the bunkers.”

Meanwhile, the second battle of Fallujah was raging in Anbar province. In the southeastern corner of the city, American forces came across a “house with a chemical lab … substances found are similar to ones (in lesser quantities located a previous chemical lab.” The following day, there’s a call in another part of the city for explosive experts to dispose of a “chemical cache.”
Nearly three years later, American troops were still finding WMD in the region. An armored Buffalo vehicle unearthed a cache of artillery shells “that was covered by sacks and leaves under an Iraqi Community Watch checkpoint. “The 155mm rounds are filled with an unknown liquid, and several of which are leaking a black tar-like substance.” Initial tests were inconclusive. But later, “the rounds tested positive for mustard.”

Myabe Bush did lie to us after all, if you call keeping evidence that will exonerate him lying.

Sometimes, it is worth the price of unpopularity in order to keep stuff secret.

why dont you take that up with the leaked documents

 

[JakeStarkey]

The leaked documents do not sustain Cmike's assertion, divecon.

I was very disturbed to hear about this.

That is an insult to our Military and those who serve. The loose Cannon's you refer to are the tongues like your own that put out non filtered garbage, without thought. Your reasoning is a false generalization and Stereo-Typing, Profiling, if you will, based on prejudice and misinformation.

I served many years with "loose cannons" and "risk takers". I assure you the men in the garrison forts in the valleys downline from Kabul, and that female E-5 who daily for 13 months runs the medical supplies down the line from Kabul with only a hummer and a gun vechile and an overhead attack chopper as her defense ~ these are risk takers.

Thank heavens for such people, and those of you who have not served with them are in no position to judge, only to give fervent thanks.
