  WoMD ... so where are they?

  now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!

  perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.

  now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

  I have to admit as an American everytime I see the Iraq army I would have a tringe of guilt. All the T-72 tanks that are made in ohio. Those mirage jet fighters made right here in california. AK-47's which are of coursed produced in florida. And all thoughs wonderfull extras like, night vision gear, GPS jammers. Yes, America just made a bundle selling Saddam all that stuff.

  Also, just FYI stuff to make gas is dual use, the equipment used to make pesticide (purchased from europe) can also be sued to make posion gas. Honestly, pesticide was developed from military research on gas and is just dilluted nerve agent.

  Reality:

  • During the Iran Iraq war we did give Saddam some sattelite inteligence. Primarly because we did not want to see him over run by Iran. In the messy reality of that part of the world not a bad decision.
  • France and Russia were by far the biggest supplies of millitary equipment to Iran. That should be obvious by simply looking at its composition.
  • We did give Iraq some samples of anthrax (was that what he used on the kurds? no?). stupid idea but remember anthrax occurs naturally and this was not weapons grade anthrax. A world of difference between the two.

  Thanks Razor, but no. I was hoping for Joanna's link. I can find stuff about the UN suspending road travel, which they do from time to time, and some stuff about taliban attacks in the south but I cant find the article she is showing. Not that I doubt her veracity its just I would like to know where this is coming from.

  Good post Dakota,

  The UN is simply the sum of its parts, and most of the nations that make up the UN are crappy little hell holes; so it should be no suprise that the UN does the things it does.

  Actually an unreasonable use of force would involve attacking someone that was either not attacking you or unable to attack you. It seems that this kid was able to attack the cop with cuffs on so the cop had the right to get the kid to let go of his nuts.

  No I am not a pussy or a bully, but if anyone grabbed my nuts yes I would punch them, if feel I am safely in the majority here. Nut grabbing equals automatic ass kicking for 99% of the male population, the other 1% likes it.

  Redneck is correct. The little angle was grabbing the cops nuts. I would have clubed him like a baby seal. It has nothing to do with race, it has everything to do with some twit grabbing a cops nuts.

  Should the U.S. Release Photos of the Hussein Son's?

  by Funchback in

  my *personal* opinion is that they should because the people of iraq will probably require some proof.

  i don't have any interest in seeing the photos but i believe that their photos will spread throughout the internet and the news media and curiosity will eventually cause me to peek at the photos.

  don't know why i would have interest in seeing a couple of lifeless bodies though.

  First, if it will help the situation then do it, remember what the Itailians did to Mousilini (sp?). Also, that former Eastern European dictator that they showed his execution on tv, I believe it was romainia. Sometimes when people have been living under the heel of a dictator they need to see him hung from a pole to completly break their chains.

  Second, most Americans were upset over the mistreatment of Americans on camera. If the Iraqis had shown pictures of American POW's that were obviously being well treated I dont think many Americans would have cared. The point being was that the issue was not American POW's being shown it was the mistreatment (real or precieved) of Americans that was the issue.

  Third, dont compare apples and oranges. Saddams demon seeds are not normal soilders. I would definitally agree that normal iraqi soilders should never be shown in a humiliating light. These guys are a special case. Put their heads on sticks if it will help.
