Ariel Sharon is basically full of crap. As with George Bush's and his accusations against Iraq, where the fudge is Sharon's evidence?
While syria are sunnit's and Baath ideologists, Saddam and the late Assad hated eachothers guts, cause both were in the race to become the new prophet of the middle-east. But maybe Assads son dislike israel and usa foreign policy even more to temporarily set aside their differences.... Hey I even speculated for a joke that Iraq transferred/licensed part of it's research and development to North Korea as there are no inspectors there and they want to have the bomb as much as saddam. Sharon may be full of shit but he might be right about this one (regardless of his motives)
ok SO????? unless im mesaken syria isnt under ANY objegation not to resurech WMD so whats the point? isral DOES have the bomb and this sounds like a cuban crisis to me even if true suffer to sharon and maybe HE can see what its like to be under a constant threat of someone causing a Nuke holicost on him
Here we go once again with the rumors, …The maybe this and the maybe that. I could be this or it could be that. With this latest propaganda, a tactic typically used in the old days by mediocre governments, we find our selves victimized by the powers given to a cowboy and his lone-rangers. Sharon is been asked by US to make that remarks so that it doesn’t appear that it is always US and Britain doing the gossip and provide to world ignorance a open door just in case Weapons inspectors don’t find a solid evidence in Iraq. The pity of all of this is that most of the press doesn’t tackle issues objectively.
I know (that's why I said : regardless what sharons motives are), but still, I think that Saddam Hussain must have done an impressive job of hiding weapons of mass destruction from the inspectors, or could it be that biological / chemical weapons are really destroyed in Iraq ? I don't think so, but me just guessing and thinking that saddam has still those nasty toys, is no justification to invade the country without proof.
Once again, because everyone seems to ignore half my words and only read the bits they think are insulting to their bullshit patriotism... I think Saddam HAS bio/chem weapons. I just hate Bush and Sharon's hypocrisy and lies.
Adam, politicians must LIE!!! Otherwise we can not keep up the appearance of being democratic countries.
as for my penny on the WOMD debate.......... I tend to think that if they are still in Iraq they are more likely around 3km below the surface. All the media coverage of the inspectors sweeps suggest that they are merely sweeping the surface for signs of them. Think about it another way; if NASA can tell us the chemical compositions of the planets in our solar system and the stars some up to 3 million light years away , well than some of this equipment could be focused on Iraq then perhaps we may be able to view the countless archaic catacoombs that exists below the Iraqi landscape. I saw a movie recently called The Three Kings which was about the location of the stolen Kuwaiti gold and it was found about 7 floors below the surface down an old water well. Now the movie might have been based on a totally corrupted story of reality but it gave us much of an in sight about the archeological history of Iraq and a possible clue as to the WOMD might be hidden, although I am now begining to doubt this idea, its probably to simplistic except that we know from past experiences of dealing with the warlord that he often likes to hide stuff in and under where children and the ill are housed ?
- Sharon said his government has some information that suggests the possibility. No Israeli official has said it's a proven fact. Just a possibility. The way people said it's a possibility Saddam launched the attacks on 9/11 (this was said like a few hours after the attacks). Now, I'm not going to deny that Sharon is a political asshole who's only in power to fight a war. But please, do not try and make this any more than it is. It is quite possible Syria has the weapons. It is not provable. That's all that's been said. And, while I personally doubt it (as Sharon's party is often in bed with propoganda), it is possible Sharon has information that shows Syria has the weapons.
To Adam or Asguard (among others) anything said by the US or Israel is merely propaganda, and that if Iraq or whoever says they dont have WMD then they are to be believed.
Squid Vicious You make too many assumptions sometimes. I think Saddam Hussein does have chemical and biological weapons. I have said this many times.
nope ur wrong i KNOW that the US and england and france have them i KNOW that i belive in a legal system that puts the burden of proof on the accuser thefor untill someone PROVES that sudam has them of corse im going to lean to that side its what australia was built on. even martin biant was intilted to a trial as for if they r found i dont know that i would care even then after all i dont think ANYONE should have them but as thats impossable maybe those gun freaks r right in this case, u cant take them away from everyone GIVE them to everyone so that the same deterant exists everywhere i dont trust any country with nukes NOT to launch them so why should i trust the US and england?
