Iraqi WMDs revisited

[Mike 'Red Ocktober' Hense]

Please contact Kofi Anan for the pics.

i did... and this is what he said (read from the very site you directed me to)

He said the missing material can be used for legitimate purposes. "However, they can also be utilized for prohibited purposes if in a good state of repair."

the missing material can be used for legitimate purposes.

well...

me thinks that Union Carbide had more gas producing facilites that could've been termed WMDs, than what was found in Iraq... and the related disaster in Bopal India in the late 80s killed almost half as many people as Saddam's savagery...

In a recent New York Times op-ed, Stephen Pelletiere argued that the March, 1988, gassing of Kurds during the waning months of the Iran-Iraq war may have been perpetrated by Iran, not Iraq. This issue has taken on importance because Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's gassing of the Kurds is often given as one ground for the U.S. to go to war to effect regime change. As it happens, Pelletiere, a former CIA analyst, is just plain wrong and appears not to have kept up with documentation made available during the past decade.

The former CIA official revealed that immediately after the battle the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency investigated and produced a classified report that said it was Iranian gas that killed the Kurds

nahhh, your purpose and agenda is clear here... facts have no bearing in your arguement... only your obviously anti Arabic agenda...

you see only what you want to see, and you use it as fuel to your ignorance of anything remotely factual...

what you say has very little to do with terrorism... and more to do with what is obviously your inbred hate for an entire ethnicity...


@ Abraham...

I find it a bit childish of you to complain about a lack of moderation in this case and mingle another discussion on another thread with this one.
But if you really need a moderator, I suggest you send a P.M. (it's the little button down left) to one of the other moderators of this forum.

your finding it childish is important only in your own mind... and Neal has already been notified of the goings on here...

what's more important is this forum being used as a sounding board for the vilification of an entire people, and as a perverse means of promoting an obvious agenda of hate and ethnic bias... and it's being condoned by a moderating member...

THIS IS WRONG... i cannot in good conscience stand by and watch this continue... this community deserves better...

it was a place where members of a common interest could come and enjoy the exchange of info, opinions, etc without fear of persecution, merely because they were of a certain ethnic group...

unfounded persecution at that... all people of Arab ethnicity or of the Muslim faith are not terrorist, nor do they seek the destruction of anyone... it is the extremists on both sides that wave this sort of flag... some of which we are seeing here now...

i am neither Arabic nor Muslim... i was born of a Catholic family... and i am reviled by the fact that so many here who consider themselves Christian, even those who are not Christian, but consider themselves fair minded... would stand by and watch this sort of thing, and not comment...

i should make public just a few of the emails i've received recently by members here who for their own reasons refuse to become involved in this mess, but who have made it clear that they've seen this going on for a while now... and they object to it as well...

there is an undercurrent of discontent here, brought about not only by an obviously biased individual here, but encouraged by you directly...

i am not the only one who draws parallels to this situation and those involved directly... if you didn't already know the definition of the term vilify, look at www.dictionary.com
