...Yes, that 'SR' after the 'US' *does* look an awful lot like an 'A'.

I don't really have anything to say on TACC. Plus, Massassi offers me abit of annonominity that I wouldn't have on TACC.

This doesn't exactly support the ol' "destruction of the world within 30 minutes" theory.

I agree with mscbuck.

Yeah. The ones we found probably do say USSR on them. Why? Because the ones that say USA were dropped on the Kurds already...

You lot can keep saying that, and it can keep not being true.

And now, from the same government that gave you Iran-Contra, I bring you, Rumsfeld & Saddam, best of pals.

This was back when Iraq had WMD and lots thereof. And they liked to use them.

While working for a "pharmaceutical" company G.D. Searle & Co, Rumsfeld was also Reagan's "Special Envoy for the Middle East" and a Member of the President's General Advisory Committee on Arms Control.

However it is true that the US stood idly by, maybe making a squak here and there, while these types of things went on. Only now for some reason do they actaully care. ?????
It is true that the US either directly or indirectly supplied Iraq with materials that they knew were being used for weapons.
I'm sure I don't have to post any links Sine because I'm sure you saw them as you looked for the links you posted.

I sense a little bit of hypocrisy from some of you. Okay, when we take military action you complain that diplomacy is the route that we should go but when you have evidence of diplomatic attempts in the past you try to twist them into things that aren't there. I suppose Reagan shaking Gorbachev's hand makes the Cold War fictitious and them out to be buddies. Now Iraq was/is the enemy of Iran who certainly was a bigger threat to us at the time. Seems pretty shrewd that Iraq managed to do alot of our dirty work for us and, in the process, weakened both of them. Saddam, obviously, was going to wage war anyways. He always did.

Besides, there's a far more shrewd link between Chirac and Hussein that I don't hear anyone talking about.

I abhor the use of biological or chemical weapons. I believe that be an evil act. I condemn any act that the US may have used them but I do feel that there is at least one difference. The US is a country that comes to its senses. Anytime we have engaged in evil practices such as slavery, chemical weapons, internment, etc we have evolved. Countries like Iraq will never evolve on their own and are a threat to the rest of the world.

I've babbled long enough. I almost sound like I care about this stuff.

Knowing how wonderful the Iraqi's are of keeping track of their weapons, they likely buried them and then forgot about them.

If it isn't good enough for the US government, there's absolutely no way it's good enough for critics of the war.

Hehe.

Pity you were feeding Iran TOW's for hostages at the time eh?


What about us here in australia?
we deserve an invasion too damnit, we had 250,000 mustard & phosgene gas 25lb shells in 1944 if the Federation of American Scientists is anything to go by.

And we did guinea pig testing:


They last found a CW stockpile in aus in 1989, and found some we left in New Guinea in 1990.

We've earned this invasion I say.

Wow. Do you know how to put anything into context?

------------------

You mean the attack on Halajba in 1988, which was not proven to have been caused by Iraqi or Iranian weapons?



Source please.



So do I. That doesn't prove that Iraq used them against its own people (see above).


-Fox

Stratfor.com posted the article that detailed the long term relationship between the two.

I'm not sure why you quote me and refer to Iraq attacking it's own people. However, it does seem to be undisputed that Iraq has used bio/chem weapons.

------------------

Undisputed how? According to Stephen C. Pelletiere, former CIA political analyst on Iraq, there's no way to conclude either way, whether Iraq or Iran was responsible for the massacre in Halabja.


-Fox

So you're saying that that is the only time Iraq is ever alleged to have used bio/chem weapons?

------------------

I'm not commenting on the accuracy of the article but this quote from it seems to be clear that the author you're citing says Iraq used chemical weapons.

I remember hearing that Kofi Anan became a millionaire off the food for oil program. The one where the oil was paid for in cash, not food, and wound up going toward palaces.

Steal my dreams and sell them back to me.....

No, I'm saying there is no proof that it was Iraq that was responsible for the gas attack.



And it mentions that they did not use such weapons on their own people, which was cited as justification for invading Iraq last year.

Thanks for the links, Avenger, though I doubt the French had more military ties with Iraq than the US had.



Where did you hear that?


-Fox

You mean you just haven't seen that proof. Remember, a great deal of these things have to be approved before being cited. I'm sure the government has evidence unreleased. So in other words, there is no proof for the public. Of course, we can't say 100% that the govt. has any because that just isn't any of our business. But it is more so that they do have evidence than they do not.

My second comment was "tongue in cheek"

hehe you know I could fight dirtier in the sandbox than that if I wanted. Having comments like these as material to go on:

lol, I didnt either.. where are they from? Dana? wait, Denmark heh

------------------
nil nip nada zip zero naught lip zil

After all these people that didin't know there were Danes in Iraq, I have to make this comment.

I was watching Bill Mahr one night. Usually I like him. Then he comes out and says, 'We're asking for help in Iraq and the Danes send a sub. A sub! What good is that? We are asking for assistance not tourists.' (or something very close to that.
I was fuming. What an *******. I hope most Americans don't think this. Look at the GDP of Denmark. Then look at the military budget of the US for 2001. Yeah. That's right. You're lucky they sent the sub Bill.

Irrelevant. You can only speculate about such evidence, since, as you claim, it may be classified. On the other hand, I've cited a former CIA official who worked on Iraq policy, so he would have better knowledge as to what happened in Halabja.

They seem to disagree.



I find your citation is irrelevant due partially to conflicting reports among higher-ups. But I'll let the two cancel out so no evidence is offered either way in which case, my statement remains and is not irrelevant.
