You have the absolute right to speak here but I would hope you have enough savy and intelligence to see your remarks are falling on deaf ears. Just thought you'd like to know. Hey Lance,
How does it feel to be powerless to influence those you leave comments for? You have the absolute right to speak here but I would hope you have enough savy and intelligence to see your remarks are falling on deaf ears.

Just thought you’d like to know.

Lies About Iraq’s Weapons Are Past Expiration Date – By Cliff Montgomery

There was never any question Iraq once had weapons of mass destruction programs. Nor was the world naïve enough to trust Saddam Hussein not to try and hide such weapons from UN inspectors. The rationale for the U.S. invasion, however, was that after a decade of sanctions, war, U.S. bombing runs, and UN inspections, Iraq still possessed a viable nuclear, chemical or biological threat that could be deployed beyond Iraq’s borders or which was in danger of being supplied to terrorist groups.

Unfortunately, there is absolutely no basis for this argument, made so forcefully by Secretary of State Colin Powell at the United Nations, when he claimed to possess clear evidence that huge stocks of everything from sarin gas to anthrax to sanction-violating missiles were stored in Iraq, ready for use. Never mind that the same Iraqi defector who told Powell about the stores of chem and bio weapons also said they had been completely destroyed, which Powell neglected to tell the United Nations. It doesn’t matter, because those stores would almost certainly have become useless by now.

Strangely, the U.S. media have, with almost no exceptions, failed to mention that most bio/chemical agents have a rather limited shelf life. The few who do usually quote Scott Ritter, former UN Iraqi weapons inspector and controversial opponent of Dubya’s drive to Baghdad.

According to Ritter, the chemical weapons which Iraq has been known to possess — nerve agents like sarin and tabun — have a shelf life of five years, VX just a bit longer. Saddam’s major bio weapons are hardly any better; botulinum toxin is potent for about three years, and liquid anthrax about the same (under the right conditions). And he adds that since all chemical weapons were made in Iraq’s only chemical weapons complex – the Muthanna State establishment, which was blown up during the first Gulf War in 1991 — and all biological weapons plants and research papers were clearly destroyed by 1998, any remaining bio/chemical weapons stores are now “harmless, useless goo.”

We were dealing with a terrorist sponsoring regime that had access to Wepons of Mass Destruction, we can debate this endlessly.....uninteligible. Silly Ron: Oh access, now. Now it's access. I thought we, I thought they had Weapons of Mass Destrucion, Frank. Gaffeny: They did have Weapons of Mass Destruction, and they used them...unintelligible. Childish Ron: Oh, the ones we gave them in the eighties? The ones that we gave them in the eighties. Memo to Ron: when you're in a deep hole, stop digging. You made Gaffney's point, Ron. Whomever provided them, you've admitted that, at some time, Iraq <b>did</b>have WMD. Gun, foot, shoot:
