OK... let's try this again.
1. Regarding 1998... The stated goal of the cruise missile and bombing attacks was to strike military and security targets in Iraq that contribute to Iraq's ability to produce, store, maintain and deliver weapons of mass destruction. Nothing in that statement suggests that he DID have stockpiles of ANYTHING, only that we were striking at his ability to produce them.
The main targets of the bombing included weapons research and development installations, air defense systems, weapon and supply depots, and the barracks and command headquarters of Saddam's elite Republican Guard. Also, one of Saddam's lavish presidential palaces came under attack.
So Clinton was waging war on Iraq over something that might happen in the future....thats amazing...
How did attacking one of Saddam's lavish presidential palaces figure into that ?
Do you now condone putting people in prison on the possibility that they might break the law in the future, too?
2. Having a delivery system is nice... having something to deliver is even nicer. We degraded his ability to deliver WMD's in case he ever got them.
Yeah, I got that from the first statement.....so we 'de-graded' a delivery system that didn't exist , so he wouldn't have the power to use
WMD that he didn't yet possess......thats a fantastic story, ....... you must be one hell of a tapdancer, sailor....
3. The dems discussed what a threat Saddam was to international stability. He was.... he was, however, much LESS of a threat than Al Qaeda was... we just didn't know that then.
And... like I said... with the exception of Al Gore AFTER he left office, no democrat EVER stated that there was no doubt that Saddam had stockpiles of WMD's. And NO democrat ever stated that Saddam and Al Qaeda had a working relationship prior to 9/11. And NO democrat made the final decision to send our troops into Iraq to disarm a tinhorn dictator that did not have any arms to begin with.
wow, I'm under-whelmed....
no body but Algore, huh....
look up the definition of the words 'real' and "confident" before my next post
I gotta make head call in the meantime....
