Unlike the alternet drivel, kur5hin's article acknowledges the
actual real history of what was going on at the time.
actual real history of what was going on at the time and possibly
what has happened since the inspectors got kicked out years ago.
\_ Here's the Big Lie in the article, "According to Scott Ritter, who
spent seven years in Iraq with the UNSCOM weapons inspection teams
performing detailed investigations into Iraq's weapons program, no
such capability exists". What they fail to mention is that *4
YEARS* ago Ritter and all other inspectors were kicked out of the
country
\_ the article mentions that a number of times.
\_ No. It doesn't. Not once. Quote it. At best it says
the year he left and doesn't say it was because they were
kicked out. Care to try again? There are numerous other
lies in the article but this was the most flagrant. The
article is crap and a quick read of any real news source
from the net reporting on it would tell you that. It's
commonly known history which the article denies by
failing to acknowledge. You can't change reality by
simply willing to be different.
\_ "Ritter himself and no weapons inspection
team has set foot in Iraq since 1998." Back to
English 1a for you.
\_ Yes this is the part of English 1A where you
missed the context around that one sentence
which makes it *painfully* clear that they're
trying to claim he left because there was
nothing left to find, not because they were
kicked out. I was waiting for you to stick
your foot in your mouth on that line. Go read
the article without extracting sub-pieces and
twisting them to suit yourself. Also, this one
line is still not "a number of times" as you
claimed and again, does not say they were kicked
out. English 1A indeed.
after wasting 7 years playing hide and seek (and losing)
with the Iraqi military/government. Not only can a *lot* happen in
4 years but the odds they found and destroyed all the Iraqi WMD in
the previous 7 years is flat out zero. This story is crap. For
the record, (like Scott Ritter), I voted for Bush and I'm highly
disappointed with the way Bush has handled _all_ of the corporate
responsibilities mess but the real problem with Iraq was Bush Sr.
playing global power balance politics the first time not with his
son cleaning up the mess later. Clinton should have done this 4
years ago when the inspectors got kicked out and since he didn't,
the next guy in line should do it no matter what his party.
\_ you're wasting your time in CS, your calling is talk radio.
\_ *laugh* Welcome to the motd, the home of personal attack.
If the best you can do is personally insult someone then don't
bother wasting disk space.
\_ The burden of proof on someone who wants his country to invade
another country and cause the death of many thousands of people
is on the invader, not the peacelover. Can you give any evidence
that Iraq does have WMD, other than overheated Bush rhetoric?
\_ I love the MOTD! - danh |
