WMD's Found in Kuwait?
 
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,99011,00.html

WMD Could Be?
There's a report out of Kuwait that -- if verified -- would mean there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq after all. The Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siyassah, says authorities there foiled a plot to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq into Europe. The report says suspects have been taken into custody, and the weapons themselves will be handed over to the FBI. However, the report does not say when that will take place, nor does it say exactly when or how the plot was foiled.


So, possible Iraqi WMDs are found in Kuwait. If this is verified, what do some of you anti-Bush types think about that?

Will that justify the war in your eyes? I mean, it stands to reason that if this is found to be true, there quite possibly could have been a lot more weapons smuggled out that we haven't found.

If verified, I feel mine and others unwavering support of W and his war are justified.

The only thing I could say would be......

How CONVENIENT :rolleyes:

It would definately help out my opinion if this is proven to be true. I will never be a proponant of war, but it brings the situation into a new light. I'm not a Bush hater, just not crazy about his policies (like I've said before, loved him as Gov here)

I will just go ahead and throw this out there - I think its a little suspicious that these long lost WMD's turn up in US friendly Kuwait territory.

Lol lets see if its true or not first there has been many cases where they supposenly found some and it turned out not to be.

what if they turned up in US friendly Mexico? or US "friendly" France?

Not trying to start something, but just because they were found in Kuwait to me doesn't imply wrongdoing. If anything it shows the Kuwaities(that what you call them?) willingness to help US efforts.

I'll wait and see if this story is verified, but what i was more looking for was a response from the anti-Bush crowd as to whether the finding of WMD's even this late in game, are enough to make them admit they were wrong in opposing the war.

Nope.

Even with the war aside, Bush has done other things that I do not agree with.

Fox News.

Enough said.

Actually, Fox News is not the main source on this report. It's the Kuwaiti Al-Sissyah, as well as the Indian paper, the Hindustan Times.

Fox, i believed, merely picked it up and carried it because it knew that the more liberal news publications wouldn't

I've always been pretty confident that they would either find the WMD's there or evidence of a plot that had them smuggled outside Iraq.

It doesn't take a genius to see what happened... Weapons inspectors left.. Tons upon tons of WMD's failed to be accounted for -- stuff we knew existed. What, do you think Saddam just destroyed it and neglected to document it? I for one don't think he'd be that stupid.

agree-nod-agree-

I was originally against the war- but after seeing the people and hearing from my best friend when he got back- the people over there are so happy that America came over to help them. With or without WMD I was behind the effort to free a nation from a dictator like Saddam. Just being a human I want others to have freedoms that they didn't. Talk to the troops that have come home and I am sure they can tell you, we needed to do something, with the way those people were "living" over there before, it was no real life of value.
I just hope that we can help them get their government started s that they can continue to have a better life.

WAIT A MINUTE.
Why would IRAQI WMDs be in KUWait, a country they invaded???

I smell something fishy, and its not Laura Bush.

well if they found WMD's in Mexico that wouldn't be very believable(sp?) now would it? ;)


like I already said, I'm anti-war. No one would be "wrong" for opposing the war. Besides, Bush has done other things I don't agree with. Liked him as Gov - he should have quit when he was ahead.

Good thread AggieSigmaNu361, but Iraq could have attacked U.S. territory and some would still hate Bush.
