More troops could be sent to Iraq soon, as civilians from

Biological weapons: 1995 Iraq declared under pressure from the international community they had 8,500 liters of anthrax. The UN estimates that Saddam Hussein could have produced 25,000 liters and Saddam Hussein has not accounted for even one teaspoonful of the deadly material. By the way, it was just a teaspoonful of anthrax that caused all of that trouble in the Post Office on the East Coast in 2001. Yet, we know that he has declared 8,500 liters of anthrax.

Second point, we know he has the will to use those weapons. He has done it before, on his own people. In fact, more than 250 Iraqi towns in 1987 and 1988 were the object of chemical attacks by Saddam Hussein, who used a combination of chemical weapons, cocktails they called them, including mixtures of mustard gas and VX gas. It makes it harder to trace exactly what he used. I have seen, as many of you have on TV, video footage of the Kurdish villages littered with the bodies of the victims of this massacre. So, we know he has them, and we know he will use them.
Third, in addition to genocide, which I have just described, Hussein’s regime is characterized by repression, torture, execution, mass murder, and systematic rape. Rape is used not only for intimidation, but also for sport.


Do I really need to answer that Paolo?

Let me remind you that during 80's Saddam was a close friend of USA...
He was not a terrorist those days.

Oh are we back to that again? We are talking about the war in Iraq and 9/11 and now you mention this because you have no backup. Okay, you have just confirmed your hatred of America and I can't change your mind.

Regardless of what the liberal biased media tells you in your country Paolo we ridded the people of a tyrant.

And another thing, we did not bomb innocent people in Iraq. We are at war and accidents will happen.

Well, there's no accurate counting of these "accidents", but are estimated to be more than 10.000 civilians... But you're right. Bombs are intelligent, but have the tendency to explode.

Then why did your country need us to fight your battles for you? I guess all you French folks forget that if it were not for the United States of America you all would be speaking German today.

Read your history books Paolo.

right linda, and liberals in the 40's loved stalin. by the way, saddam is right up there in the genocide parade since ww2. liberals wonder why clinton didnt stop the genocide in rawanda, but they are mad as heck that we stopped saddam. hard to figure that one. maybe liberals only love dictators that hate the usa?

My point is that Saddam was not a danger today more than in the past.
That 9/11 has nothing to do with him and that Al Qaeda is still free to strike everywhere.

Linda, I have no back up if I mention the 80's...
You're still going on saying that without America in the 40's we would all speak german today... your back up sound the same
