Of Political Death and Sealing Wax Of Oil Fields and Kings

[Exo Etherial]

Is it just I or has there been an unsettling lack of chemical or biological weapons? I mean, so far there has been no attacks, and soldiers have pulled into Baghdad. Test results concerning a series of drums containing some type of chemicals are inconclusive at best, and so far there has been NO sign of any biological weapons.

Bio-Chem weapons are the main reason we are supposed to be waging this little one-sided widely unpopular war. We are supposed to be finding and destroying any and all of Sadam's signs of deceit concerning this matter. Yet the worst we have seen are merely repeats of the Gulf War with human shields and the like.

And what of the mobile labs that are said to be roaming Iraqi sand? Surely they must have been spotted by now. If not by Coalition forces, than by spy satellites as they move. I mean camouflage netting is ineffective when wrapped around a vehicle. So far I have heard nothing of destroyed mobile labs in the news, have you?

It sort of makes you wonder if our vaunted President should have been dealing with the North Koreans whom we KNOW to possess at least 2-4 Nuclear weapons. Is lead by a seemingly insane dictatorship, and are rumored to have the capacity to rain nuclear fire down upon my home.

Ah well... Time will tell. But don't be surprised if Bush blows up the world.

Moblie biological labs that has to be the biggest joke I ever heard about Iraq even the weapon inspectors laughed at such a notion.

[SurlyPIG]

Bleh, the inspectors are the ones that should be laughed at, though I agree that mobile labs would be rather stupid. Saddam can and does hide weapons in much more effective ways. A large bundle of chemicals found buried underneath a school are being sent for to the US for analysis as we speak. The soldiers had very basic chemical testing devices that registered the substances as pesticides (some poisions are registered on these devices as pesticides, thats why they're being sent to a lab). The question is, what were pesticides doing buried ten feet under a school alongside shells, bombs, guns and ammunition?

[Exo Etherial]

Makeshift chemical weapons perhaps? Most modern pesticides are actually powerful nerve agents. However they would be illegal to use as weapons, not have as them.

Either that, or the school just keeps drums of pesticides to, oh, I don't know; kill the myriad of insect pests and parasites that might infest a city in the Middle East...

[SurlyPIG]

LOL indeed. And the bombs, AK-47s and armour piercing shells also found in the school are just to keep the five-year-olds in line during kindergarten alphabet.

Bleh, the inspectors are the ones that should be laughed at...

Well provide some information as to why you think this about the inspectors. Frankly a month and a half of inspections was not enough time to find anything but that does not matter at the present time. ACElethal give us more than just laughing at the inspectors I think they were doing their job.

[Gobalopper]

It should have been enough time if Saddam was actually doing what the UN said. But since he wasn't of course that wasn't enough time.

[Digital Guerrilla]

Come on Gob if they wanted to find anything and catch Iraq red-handed Saddam has had time to wash his hands. All I have seen is the usual that Saddam was the worst leader of the 21st century which in itself is enough. That being the case Saddam could not have been this cunning clever threat that he was made out to be in the media and by what the Bush admin has said about him.

[Gobalopper]

Why wasn't Saddam allowing scientists to be interviewed then? Why did he kill one of his head scientists? Why did it take hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding Iraq before Saddam began to actually do some of what the UN wanted. Saddam is playing a game.

[Digital Guerrilla]

Yes I agree that Saddam was playing a game but at the same time the US was playing a game also and any of the world political leaders play games at any given time that is the 'nature' of the game anyone who says else is asleep at the wheel. The US was playing the "spy game" that is where they would plant spys among the UN inspectors to spy on Iraq not saying that I favor Iraq but if you think it does not happen then you fool yourself. Before anyone screams that I am anti-american let me tell you that I am not I am anti-bullshit and some of the information that we see is just bullshit put there for the mindless drones that do not think for themselves. Iraq needed to clean up it's act and who better than America it is only fitting because the Iraqi people suffered because American leaders were the ones who in fact helped Saddam come to power in Iraq. American should liberate Iraq because it in fact helped enslave it in the first place.

[Gobalopper]

America wasn't the only country who at one point supported Iraq. Notice that almost all of Iraq's weapons are Soviet based? In fact most of Iraq's weapons come from France, USSR(Russia), and China.

France also had spies inside the inspection teams that would radio back to the Iraqi's telling them where they were going giving them advance time to hide whatever was there. It happens on both sides.
