Drake, this "topic" is not worth anything more. I need the amusement.

As I have been saying:

On the next episode of Bush and the Chickenhakws..

The evil Saddameo, king of San Badghdadio takes the pretty Bush daughter hostage, and attaches her to the barrel of the evil Osamagun...

Can the Chickenhawks get there in time?

Okay, I misspoke and overstated... I don't think the spy plane implies that Iraq has mass quantities of chemical weapons which it is willing to use at a whim... would be my more refined statement.

Please point out how it is wrong so that I may correct it again.

They didn't, you fool. The Times put it in the article to show the more serious nature of the drone discovery. It's more obvious when you see things in context...

quote:
Unlike the outlawed Al-Samoud 2 missile, which was declared as a purportedly legal weapon, the drone was not declared. It would be the first undeclared weapons programme found by the UN and is considered by British and US officials to be a “smoking gun”.

Nothing of the sort. You were the fanciful one declaring aerial chemical weapons delivery systems are such an advanced technology that Iraq couldn’t possibly possess them (didn’t you mention something about moon bases?). Sorry to burst your bubble and show how old and elementary they are; I'm sure you're disappointed. It doesn't take the moon bases or the rocket science which you so factiously spoke about; it just takes a pressurized tank and a spray nozzle.

BTW are you now contending that Saddam is using unmanned aerial drowns launched from military bases to dust crops? I hope you're not. Everyone in the know has accepted the truth so it is time you gave up the ghost and stop pissing in the wind. Saddam has made these unmanned aerial drones, which have spray nozzles on them, for the sole purpose of delivering chemical weapons. Just accept it and stop fighting the truth.

The drone doesn't give any indication of what kind of chemical weapons Iraq has. No one is claiming otherwise. The drone is significant because it was not declared by the Iraqis and is therefore proof that they lied on their weapons declaration. That's a material breach...

He didn't say Saddam doesn't have any BCN weapons. He was saying you made logical blunders in your post.

I'm glade Urban Dullard has decided to go away. I got so tired of his "you haven't proved 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt that Saddam destroyed all of his chemical weapons like the good saint he is... So he must not have any". Why is it even Chirac admites Saddam has chemical weapons but Urban Dullard thinks he's prevy to more info then the heads of state of all the major western democracies?

You don't need to spam, Kramerman; just talk about the topic.

For example, I don't think the fact that this is a clear material breach will mean much; the French and others already know that Iraq is in material breach, but won't approve a second resolution anyway. I think this discovery is far more important in that it will give the undecideds an easy way to come over to the US side. They are probably sorely tempted already and this just gives them something to point to as a justification for their actions. It should be interesting...

most of my friends are in the undecided camp. On one hand, i present such stuff as this, and on the other, the leftist (i am NOT a tighty righty, mind you) cess pool that is our environment takes on a very similar mind set as UR. One girl I knew went to a local community college to a peace ralley last week. When the news team asked her why she was anti war, her response was," *in stoned voice* uh... 'cause... 'cause war is bad, man... its just bad..." or somethn like that.

It will change absolutely ones mind. Nobody cares if a smoking gun is found or not. You guys are being just as silly as UR. The only reason you find this interesting is so that you can say, "see he has WoMD!" Everyone already knows he does (except UR, I'm not sure).

What the hell does this drone discovery have to do with WMD? I certainly never claimed that it did...

This article is interesting because of the unknowns. Why did Blix bury this important discovery in his report? What effect will this discovery have on the undecided members of the Security Council? Will the "smoking gun" people have wanted for so long actually manage to get the US Security Council approval?

If you don't find these questions interesting, that's fine. No one cares if you participate in the discussion anyway...

That's why I said I wasn't sure. The prowar folks think that you are saying that Saddam has not been trying to obtain chemical weapons. I didn't know.
