Since Coldfire had the chance to close Binarydrone’s fake post about WMD before I had a chance to comment I will start a new one.
Food for thought…
Isn’t it very possible that these WMD could have been burried somewhere in the middle of nowhere so we don’t find them and make the U.S. look more of assholes than we already are???
I’m not saying this is the truth, but how hard would it be for Sadam to burry all WMD in the middle of the desert so we can’t find them. Then when he has an opportunity to get some power again he’ll no exactly where they are.
Sound like a conspiracy theory to me, but if I were him that’s what I would do.
Now that I think of it…this probably isn’t really a pit post unless we start fucking bitchen at each other…:smack:
Anyways…
If I were to do it I would put all my eggs in one basket. I’d have plenty of spots pre chosen to do it and also it wouldn’t be hard to set up camofloge(sp?) tents above such a site. In desert warfar those tents are very good from spying eyes in the sky.
I posted because I’m sick of everyone saying that they weren’t WMD…
Are you fucking kidding me…I disagree with the government all the time but Sadam is no Mother Teresa!!!
Just like we’d get wind of a massive plot to hijack aircraft and… well… nevermind.
Look, it’s now confirmed that Bush knew he was using bogus evidence and was pulling the collective leg of America, but for cryin’ out loud, let’s stop this “So where are the WMD’s?” nonsense. Impatience only makes matters worse… and besides, you REALLY want to be using that line in an election year.
It’s mid-March, 2003. Saddam Hussein, the Butcher of Baghdad, is getting rather nervous – there are 250,000+ American troops camped outside his border, George W. Bush is gung-ho to start a war that might get Hussein killed, and the UN doesn’t seem to be able to hold back the nutjob.
Uday walks into the room. “Chill out, pop!” he says (or whatever the Arabic equivalent is). “Just break out all that Anthrax and vX we’ve been storing up! When he Americans attack, we’ll hit 'em with it! If we’re going to go out, we should take as much of them with us as we can!”
Saddam thinks for a moment, then says, “Nah. Get rid of all that stuff, let the Americans invade unimpeded. Hell, let them roll into Baghdad without a big fuss. I’m going to go watch Jerry Springer.”
…Uh, yeah. :rolleyes:
I dunno about you, DdDHellspawn, but that fails the credibility test big-time.
Saddam Hussein: (Sings) La de da de da, give me a potater, I’m a ruthless, murderous, psychotic dictator… (Startled) - Oh fuck! The Yanks and the Brits are massing on my borders. I’m in the shit! What shall I do? Well I’ve got all these here warehouses of WMD lying around, that I can deploy in 45 minutes flat. Should I to use them in a last-ditch attempt to repel the invaders, due to my insane belief that I can defeat the most sophisticated military force on eart, bringing to bear all the murderous power of my nerve agents and bio-weapons packed into those nasty buzzing little drones? Oh no! That’s just what they’d expect, you see. Where’s the devious mastery in that? So here’s my cunning plan: I’m going to hide and/or destroy them. Bush and Blair will be so embarrassed! I shall defeat the infidels with the twin pronged approach of political discomfort and blushing! (Pats self on back for being so evil and twisted.) Mwaaaaaahahahaaaa! (Exit, pursued by a bunker-buster.)
Saddam: “Uday, believe me. Eternity in the company of Bush & all his hellish instruments of death will be a picnic compared to five minutes with me & this pencil if we can’t hide those WMD.”
I can only imagine that people who advance this line of argument are children (or the cognitive equivalent). They extend their own childlike self-centered view of the world to America. It thus becomes reasonable that someone would throw away what clearly is a very valuable and difficult to come by commodity (weapons of mass destruction) and allow for their own downfall and potential death simply for the purposes of making us look bad. Yes, they would like to die just to see America have egg on its face! I envision a ghostly Saddam Hussein looking like Nelson Muntz with little angel wings floating upwards toward a ray of light, loudly crying “HA HA!”
Of all the foolish arguments that get advanced, this must be near the top. Perhaps it would be more legitimate if you said “British intelligence tells us that Hussein sacrificed his weaponry and government to make us look like assholes.”
First off I was just throughing this out there because I was bored but…
Being a War-monger would you do either:
A: Launch WMD at nations across the world or even just the U.S. knowing that it will make you more of an asshole than you already are and get your whole country nuked
or
B: Hide yourself and hide what you got or hand them off to “terrorists” so that they(WMD) can be used at a later date so you don’t get blamed for a U.S. city going up in smoke and you have all the revenge and satisfaction you wanted. And in the process making your enemy look like the assholes and discredit them with the rest of the world. Any one remember the story about the boy who cried wolf?
I say strike your enemy when they are not looking so they don’t know who did it.
Maybe not the best example but in “Sum of All Fears” the Nazi had the U.S. and Russia ready to nuke each other and no one new it was him. Well until that DAMN Ben Afleck spoiled everything. :smack:
I hope these WMD never do surface so they don’t get used but this is definately going to plague us for a while.
And I will agree with Panzerfaust about the U.S. flags on these WMD.
<as I raise my hands against the on coming flames>
Sorry iampunha. I guess I should have provided some links or background after making such a seemingly inflammatory statement. It just irks me that she is constantly held up to be such a paragon of morality and compassion when she was anything but. Worse still, people who question the popular, received perception of her are often reviled or at least discounted as cranks. So, I’ve since had a look around for some supporting material and I’m sorry to say the most concise little background I could find on the bitch was at that scurrilous rotten.com.
OTOH, the equally scurrilous Christopher Hitchens also has a little tome dedicated to her memory.
