You are so misled it is funny. Hence, 10 on humor
Anyone can assemble random quotations from political figureheads and plaster them together to support any political agenda that he or she pleases.
Where are your facts backing up the issue of Saddam's inability to attack his neighbors? Have you ever heard of a FROG-7? How about an Exoset? No? I didn't think so. They are two types of missiles capable of attacking for many miles and I personally have seen 4 Russian FROG-7's and 2 French Exo's, and was responsible for the proper demilitrization of these weapons in theatre, that happen to be capable of containing gasses such as Sarin and VX.
In addition how do you explain the hundreds of SCUD's that were shot at U.S. military installations during the conflict? There was a period where i got less than 30 minutes of sleep for about 3 weeks at the beginning of the war due to this constant onlsaught of "weapons incapale of reaching saddam's neighbors." These bases were in Kuwait, and if it weren't for the PAT IV's many more civilians would have lost their lives. In addition, there was an occasion in which a Chinese Silkworm exploded in the Kuwait City Marina. Who do you think shot that? China? I doubt it.
If you had watched the news you would realize that there was a suitcase containing numerous WMD samples, including VX and a number of other nuero-toxins, found in a van in Iraq.
Saddam funded the Al-Queda through background activities. That seems like support to me.
Aside from your ascenine comments, if you are going to construct a political commentary in order to push for change, you should not just name the problems, you should at least put up a solution in your defense.
Osama is not directly connected to the issues faced in Iraq. Osama is still a concern, however, he has been reduced to a mite in comparason to our other problems that need to be faced. He has lost a substantial amount of power, and is not the thorn that he once was.
I believe that anything else i could say has already been touched on by my fellow enlightened reviewers. Please direct your attention to the other reviews to obtain information about what the war in Iraq is really all about.
If you would really like to push for peace, however, you should contact Kim Jong(sp?) II in Korea in order to petition him on his treatment of his people. It would be a much more worthwile pursuit, as it would actually have grounds.
Thank you for your time.
