There were at one time banned chemicals in the warheads, they were just too old to be harmful. Why didnât Saddam tell the UN inspectors about these? Why didnât the inspectors find these?
Again, the war in Iraq was waged because Saddam wouldnât confirm he had disband his WMD programs. Even if he destroyed all of them, or knew they were all too old to be harmful, he needed to relay that to the UN inspectors. The war was not waged because he had this giant arsenal of WMD, it was waged because he use to have a large cache, and never gave proof it was gone. The only safe assumption was that he did have them. Either way, we had to find out, and he wouldnât tell us we had to use force.
uhhâŚBlindlizard, that link just shows that militants were trying to buy weaponsâŚ
Remeber, the old stuff that is uncovered, thats 80âs stuff, this war was waged on him **having weapons **and developing WMDâs.
Acctualy, it was known by the UN
One of Mr Blixâs predecessors as chief UN weapons inspector, Rolf Ekeus, told BBC Radio 4âs World At One programme that the discovery of the warheads was âmilitarily insignificantâ. (Telegraph, 18 Jan., p. 2) Dr Blix himself was equally dismissive, describing the warheads discovery as âno big dealâ: âThis discovery is interesting and obviously the warheads have to be destroyed. But its not something thats so important because weâre talking about empty warheads.â (Telegraph, 18 Jan., p. 1)
Dr Blixâs summary: âSome 12 empty shells have been forgotten and that, evidently, is not very good. But it is not a very big quantity. Its not a smoking gun.â (Independent, 18 Jan., p.1) None of the 12 warheads had produced âany evidenceâ of containing traces of lethal chemicals. (Observer, 19 Jan., p. 4)
No, the war was waged because he didnât disclose what weapons he had, it didnât matter if they were made in the 90âs, 80âs or 50âs.
The link is not a joke. It shows weapons that had been WMD, reguardless of shelf lige.
No, the war was waged because he didnât disclose what weapons he had, it didnât matter if they were made in the 90âs, 80âs or 50âs.
It does matter, Iraq was not under sanctions before so they could have had all the bombs they wanted. Once sanctions were placed, those shells were empty so he did not have to declare them. And the fact remains, he has no WMDâs. Thats why the whitehouse, which would have jumped on that like poop on kevlar to bloat out of proportion.
If he has no WMD what happened to the ones he used to kill his own people in the north? Did he make a batch and then use them all up? The point is we wouldnât know unless he told us. He refused to and we went to war.
There are reports in the news now that the CIA is admiting that it got it wrong regarding the information on WMD.
Exacly. The ones he used to kill his people were the ones we and other coutries gave him. And he used them, so he didnt have them anymore.
The Report says it all.
ohhhhhâŚyou mean the weapons the US Gov gave to SaddamâŚ
