Both were effective, but Clinton's way didn't require the lives of a thousand American troops and tens of thousands of Iraqis. You might also recall that it didn't get the job done, either. Really? What evidence have we found that Saddam Hussein was developing WMDs? He tried before, and only an idiot would stop trying. OK, I'll admit I don't have an answer to everything. That particular response just leaves me slack-jawed and drooling. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #52 July 29, 2004 QuoteQuoteReally? What evidence have we found that Saddam Hussein was developing WMDs? It was Saddam's obligation to prove he got rid of them. The war is Saddam's fault, no one else's. Like a cop car chase. Someone gets hurt by the criminal being chased, there's allllways plenty of people eager to blame the cops... Note the actual words you're responding to, the key one being "developing." Clinton said we would deny SH the capability to develop WMDs. I've kept it in context so you all don't start screaming about two sarin artillary shells that we might very well have given him or funded for him. Now tell me, how does one prove that they are not doing something (e.g. developing WMDs)? Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

livendive 8 #53 July 29, 2004 QuoteQuoteQuoteBy jove, you're absolutely right! We could have asked him AGAIN to not build weapons of mass destruction!! - Unnecessary. From what we've found so far, apparently one of the earlier requests worked...unless of course we've found some indication that he WAS building WMDs. Please fill me in if this is the case as I must have missed it. "Worked"? As in, we requested he get rid of his WMDs and he DID? Try to keep to the discussion at hand. I'm responding to your post that we could have asked him again not to BUILD WMDs. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

livendive 8 #54 July 29, 2004 QuoteQuote Really? What evidence have we found that Saddam Hussein was developing WMDs? The fact that we have no proof from him of the dismantling and disposition of weapons he was known to have had, and used. Say what? The fact that he did not provide proof of the dismantling and disposition of weapons he was known to have had constitutes proof that he was developing WMDs? This is an unfamiliar form of logic to me. Please elaborate. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
