Subject: This all sounds like more of the famous and unconvincing Powell and Blair "dossiers". Unfortunately, even with 100+ inspectors crawling all over Iraq, presumably guided by US and UK intelligence, no tangible evidence has been found. Hence the high level of world-wide disbelief. Nobody had problems believing the 1962 Cuba evidence, there were photos for all to see.
In reply to: William 's message, "There is evidence that Iraqis were working together with al Qaeda and related groups to attack the Alfred P. Murray Federal Building in Oklahoma City 1995. Also, Abu Nidal, one of the most feared and brutal terrorist leaders of the 1980s and early 1990s was welcome in Baghdad for medical attention. When asked by Saddam to train al Qaeda members Abu Nidal refused and was murdered at Saddam's order. There is more than this but that is enough for now." on 02:12:27 03/09/03 Sun

[> [> [> [> [> [> It is also obvious, based on your comment about Collin Powell's testimony, that you choose to devalue the information he presented. That definitely reveals your bias against Powell, the Bush administration, and the United States and your favoritism for Blix, the UN Inspectors, the UN Security Council members opposing action against Saddam, and your favoritism of Saddam himself. Powell offered legitimate evidence against Saddam and Iraq and you and others chose to discount it as was done during the build up of Nazism and the German war machine in the 1930s. History is repeating itself again. -- William, 15:18:17 03/09/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

[> [> [> [> [> [> Chris, it seems that you do not understand the purpose of the inspections. The UN inspectors are not there to play detective or to take part in an Easter Egg hunt or a "Where's Elmo" hunt. The Iraqis are supposed to disarm and show the inspectors when, how, and where they disarmed. They have not done this. They are in material breach of the cease fire agreement the Iraqis signed in 1991 and Iraq is also in violation of UN resolution 1441. The inspectors are not supposed to find the weapons. -- William, 15:26:13 03/09/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

[> [> [> [> [> [> Nevertheless there has been tangible evidence found of weapons. There have been numerous shells found which the Iraqis played the part of the surprised with "Gee, how did that get there?". There has been evidence found of nuclear weapons programs as recently as 2002. Blix himself failed to tell of the unmanned drone which Iraq has and which was buried in Blix's report and Blix failed to mention the drums and sprayers which can be used to deliver chemical and biological weapons which Iraq has. -- William, 15:28:05 03/09/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

[> [> [> [> [> [> You mention photos of Cuba from the Missile Crisis. Have you failed to notice the photos of Iraqis moving materials from buildings known to house WMDs? Have you failed to notice recorded conversations among Iraqis signaling one another of Inspectors coming and to move the materials? Have you failed to notice the scientists and military officers who defected and revealed the breaches of Iraq in their WMD program and the fact that it is confirmed that Iraq is hiding these weapons, have shipped a good portion of them to Syria, Libya, and elsewhere while they had plenty of time to do so, etc.? -- William, 15:35:52 03/09/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Chris, thanks for your reply. The quote from Shakespeare's "Hamlet", Act III, Scene 2, is not "Me thinks she doth protest too much" but "The lady doth protest too much, methinks". It was spoken by the queen to her son while they observe a play taking place on a stage. The character in the play was denying something, the same way Saddam Hussein, the UN, and the anti-US and anti-war factions are doing today. -- William, 14:24:01 03/10/03 Mon (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)
