"There were no WMDS in Iraq." or "how come they didnt find any chemical weapons in Iraq"

Well thats just not true is it? They found a few shells with chemical agents in them. True its very different from able to launch an attack on the UK within 45 minutes, but there were chemical weapons found in Iraq post 2003. Think the Iraqi army had forgotten about them as well though.

Or the classic "Iraq never had chemical weapons" haha some people!

Not really, it is just so obvious and stale. smile
We call it 'lessons learned'. For the umpteenth time.
Lessons learned is a term we are very comfortable with. This thread is about harping on and beating a dead horse, not learning lessons.
So what have you learned from the Bush gov fooling the voters, when educated people already said the war is unreasonable? The peasants supported the "axis of evil" and "axis of weasel" slogans.
The peasants vs. the educated people? Very nice that.
Touched a nerve eh Jim hehe
Nah; Marf touched a nerve, you just exposed yourself as a overly self important ass. Any questions?
hehe

Oh no, taking it is part of the game, no problem. However, taking it from someone who is obviously not in the spirit of "courteous opposition" is not on my to do list. Certain of our lot are constantly "battling", but with an underlying respect.

So does this mean plans for another Star on the Flag are on hold?

To me personally , it doesn't matter that saddam didn't have WMD s because we all know he would have done everything in his power to Get his hands on some just to piss the west off ( a bit like Iran )

On a different note, I was listening to James obrien on lbc today and he put things in perspective in one sentence . Why didn't the Muslims community extremised when saddam was killing they're brothers , or when muhaddamesgiad kills people bythe thousands ?

The word I wanted to use was something along extremist but to sound like radicalised .

So , how come the Muslim word jumps to arms when the west is involved but it's ok when their "brothers" are doing it ?

Perhaps because the "Muslim word" is not a homogeneous hivemind?

Apologies if I've still missed the point, your point is still not that clear to me.

Excellent question. Don't expect an answer though; for certain not a straight one.

iirc the media went mad and then it turned out to be an empty shell left over from before the first Gulf War.

Rest assured the echo chamber wouldn't let you forget it if they did find anything.

It raises massive questions about the competence/agenda of those who interpret the intelligence. Seems to me that instead of using facts to come to a conclusion about Iraq they came to their conclusion first and then found 'evidence' which supported what they had already decided.

Meanwhile North Korea have tested a nuclear weapon!

Gah, his "crying" manuevre is cringeworthy

"The next (lip wobble) George Washington (voice tremble) is in this crowd"

Vacuous hatemongering he is.
