Works best that way, don't you think? -Baalthazaq said:Oddly enough, it *does* say it all... depending on if you think it's parodying the US or France.Calbeck said:
Pretty much says it all.
Apparently Hans Blix was lying, then, when he stated in his report before the UN Security Council that Iraqi military documentation showed over 1000 metric tonnes of chemical weapons still unaccounted for. And that, just two months before the invasion.Knytemare said:
Of course, it didn't hurt that the entire world intelligence community also concurred that Iraq still had WMDs. I guess the entire world was lying, along with Blix and Bush. Even the "Downing Street Memo" stated flatly that Iraq had WMDs --- but that we shouldn't be concerned about them, because Libya had more.
Plus the UN inspectors did in fact catch Hussein's regime in violation of the WMD sections of UN Resolution 687 --- you remember, the actual cease-fire agreement? Turns out, the UN also classified long-range missiles and their means of production as WMDs. And Iraq was caught in the act not only of building new long-range missiles, but even put "destroyed" equipment back into service in order to build them.
So yeah.
