WOW!! I found a like in less than 10 seconds!!! Maybe I AM A SAVANT!!!
Actually, that report says nothing about any 'confirmed' things.. just that some are claiming there were Scuds (banned) and someone said something about one might have been an Al Samoud.. and it's sitting in parts on the desert floor, so why isn't it being looked into? Each government is calling them different kinds and numbers of missles, which again, does not constitute proof.. Hell, even the headline says "appear to have been the same weapons he either claimed not to possess or agreed to destroy"..
Also, given info on that link, the Al Samoud can NO longer be considered a 'hidden' banned weapon since that link is saying the UN KNEW they still had ~30 left, they were destroying them when Bush went to war (or at least they stopped destroying them once he said he was comming no matter what and abondon all hopes of the diplomatic approach).. I do believe that I would stop destroying missles too if someone said they were comming in no matter what.. Since we didn't let him finish disarming 'those', they really should be discluded.. The Scud is a different matter.. 2 (or so) were unaccounted for from years back and Saddam claimed to have destroyed them.. if we find that they are Scuds, then yes.. he would have been in violation (though, with only 2 it hardly seems worth war.. but that could mean more are out there..).. A perfect example of why we needed to keep searching.. Now he will use them if he has them, and Scuds go what, 375 miles? That could cause some problems..
This isn't even sport anymore but I enjiy watching him squirm.
Just like Saudi Arabia was our #1 oil source.
an error I was more than happy to admit.. and even provided your proof FOR YOU to show I was in error.. Your point?
Just like Bill Clinton wasn't a felon prior to being President.
I don't ever recall saying that.. His being a felon before President isn't even subject matter I recall talking about..
Just like Bill Clinton didn't confess to a crime his last day in office.
I said I didn't hear about it and had a hard time believing it given that the implications should have been sever adn apparently were not.. someone (probably you) supplied links that supported the fact that he admitted to misleading statements.. maybe even other stuff.. don't recall.. In any event, I also recall saying how pathetic it was that it wasn't brought out to the public very well, especially since I had just watched something on TV where Clinton stated that the 'wording used' to define the act wasn't accurate to what happened.. and he was 'accurate' based on what they had defined.. So, again, we were seeing misleading things comming from the media.. And I conceded that he was perhaps even criminally wrong, but it also showed how the justice system favors the rich and famous (I sure wouldn't survive a purgery on the higher courts.. apparently Bill did)
Just like Bill Clinton wasn't disbarred.
another part of the same speal, and not something I think I was directly involved in.. some of my comments in responses around this stuff might have implied I foud that hard to believe, but yes.. I saw the article that showed he agreed to loose his liscnese for a time..
Spout out raw sewage until proven X a googleplex tro be absolutely, totally, completely in error...and then barf up sewage on a different topic.
PEACE
funny thing about the last part, you still haven't proven X.. and when you 'do' prove something, I, unlike you, admit to being in error.. It only becomes such a mess because you insist on posting the same crap 30 times before offering one shred of evidence to support your stated facts.. if you would show your proof, then we could actually move on and maybe even learn a few things, and share knowledge.. oh, wait, that would be too much like wanting to learn.. something you think I don't want to do yet claim you do want to do.. it's better to post tons of crap over and over for the sake of doing it "to watch him squirm".. na, that's not arguing for the sake of arguing, which you accuse me of..
Thanks for the link, though it's not reasonable as proof.. While I agree it's very possible that he has more Scuds (if two of those actually were), there still isn't any kind of concensous as to what missles were actually fired..
oh, and don't forget, the Al Samoud missles no longer matter since we told him we were comming in before he was allowed to destroy them.. That's our own fault now (not to mention, the 93 mile mark was 'barely' passed according to the testers.. so these are 'barely' illegal.. what is 'barely' passed the mark? 10 ft? 1 mile? 5 miles? I don't know.. but it's moot now)..
Now, if you care to show me a link where someone has 'confirmed' what kind of missles those were (the exploded ones might take till after the war).. inspect the one in 2 pieces on the ground (again, they thought that one 'might' have been an Al Samoud.. so..) or a confirmed use of Chem or Bio weaps, then I'll concede that Saddam hasn't been disarming like he said he was..
Course, that still doesn't change the fact that Bush walked away from efforts to keep a disarm campaign running. The very point that has MOST of the war protesters upset..
