Did Sadam Hussien have weapons of mass destruction if so were did it go?

If they used the weapons that they were alleged to have, it would give legitimacy to the US efforts, something Saddam wouldn't have wanted. It would have given every country an excuse to park troops there. There's nothing to LMAO about.

 

Yup, better solution is to lose war and die hanged LMAO. Seriously, use logic and common sense.

 

Do you really think using chemical weapons would have prevented the US from taking him down? I honestly don't think he thought we would go through with it. He had done very well after getting spanked in the aftermath of his ill thought out Kuwait invasion. Living large, still in charge, and making millions off of the oil for food program. If Bush Sr. didn't take him out of power after throwing his ass out of Kuwait, and Clinton wouldn't enforce his failure to live up to the commitments he made in the truce agreement, what was George Jr. really going to do.. really. The guy was a megalomaniac.

Nothing the guy did made sense, so the use of common sense lead us to where we are at today. Why throw weapons inspectors out if you have no weapons? Much of what he did was in clear violation of the treaty he signed to spare his life and his rule in 1991. 9-11-2001 was an unfortunate day for old Sadaam, but it didn't have to be the end. Gaddafi and Musharraf were smart enough not to poke a stick at a wounded animal. Gaddafi immediately opened the books on all his weapons programs, and Musharraf offered to work together, something that had not been forth coming from Pakistan up till that point. It was only poor old stupid ass Sadaam that thought business as usual, playing games with weapons inspectors, etc etc etc, would fly in the months following 9-11. What a dumb sh*t.

[Edit] On topic, I have no idea where his WMD went to, or if he even had anything beyond the chemical weapons we know for a fact he used on his own people. Given the history of the situation, I frankly don't care. I'm pissed off we wasted the money invading his nation. I'm sad our troops, and their troops had to die. I'm pissed off Muslim extremists used the post invasion chaos to stir up sectarian violence, resulting in so many deaths. I'm pissed off Collen Powell turned out to be such a dumb sh*t limp wristed pussy on the political side of things. I'm pissed off George Sr. followed his advice and didn't remove Saddam in 91. I'm pissed off George Jr. had such a hard on to fix his daddy's mistakes.

Imagine if history had played out differently. Practically the whole world was behind throwing Saddam out of Kuwait. They would have helped take down Saddam's regime and pay for the reconstruction of Iraq as well. The war would have lasted longer, so no Ross Perot or Bill Clinton preventing a second Bush I term. No Clinton means we might not have sent troops with the UN to Kosovo, making AtvKing much happier. Al Gore would still be a nobody. Democrats would have taken power in 96(Party in power usually changes after a war). 9-11, had it still happened, might have happened under the auspices of someone like Clinton. Its too much to think about.

 

There never were any. But it doesn't matter. It's just like the Holocaust numbers have been reduced yet people continue to run with the old set out of habit. What matters is that the wars continue to fill the Federal Reserve pockets and nobody gets upset about it. People argue meaningless issues blaming them for the debt we're in. It's the continuum of the stooping down where nobody cares about facts and everyone repeats popular one liners while hindering any efficient policy from ever making it to the forefront. Yes, your news is way old yet it has never been solved. But you will never see it solved either as money will buy silence and what you are saying is considered taboo in the world of controlled media.

 

i think it is a relevant question even though "the world moved on".

 

IF the U.S government couldn't find any, how could you expect us to know the answer?

 

Nope but ,like any else dictator in history, he would do anything to drag as many as can with him. When Hitler realised what coming to him what he did? He odered that they destroy Germany.
Put yourself in his shoes. Would you do anything if you knew that the end is coming?

 

I think this brilliantly sums it all up. I remember being shocked that Bush Sr didn't throw Saddam out of power. All Bush Sr did was eliminate the symptom, while leaving the cause intact. He stopped the bleeding but left the infection.

And I never really understood all the hero worship around Colin Powell. Geez, it didn't take Patton to defeat the ragtag Iraqi army in 1991! If I remember, the Iraqis were surrendering so quickly that the U.S. troops were scrambling to grab as much water as they could to take care of them!

I always thought Colin Powell was less concerned with forcefully doing the right thing and more obsessed with wanting to be liked by everyone. Powell is certainly no Schwarzkopf. Schwarzkopf is a guy that speaks his mind and takes risks. Powell is the guy that quietly sits at the back of the class and hopes he doesn't get called on.

The Republican party gave Powell fame, promoted him, praised him, put him center stage, made him a major player, and then he repays them with the disloyalty of backing Obama for President - and I don't think he backed Obama because he was pissed at the Republicans, or necessarily of race, I think he backed Obama because all the cool kids were doing it. He simply just wanted to be liked. Skilled Military commanders aren't disloyal. This was historic disloyalty.

The entire oil-for-food scandal/mess/corrupt/embarrassment was Saddam basically showing his ass to the entire world while the corrupt French, Russians, and Germans were laughing their asses off at the USA. Liberals don't like to think about it and Conservatives think it clouds the debate.

If only Bush Sr. had thrown Saddam out, I think to myself, what a wonderful world it would be!

 

Which is usually easier for those not directly involved.

Yeah it is true the reports were found in Iraq on weapons were bogus.
