Iraq has no chemical weapons.

I think this will be a statement to remember. Let us hold a roll call. Who
thinks that Dezi is correct and Iraq has no chemical weapons:

John Rennie?
Q!?
Hugh Neary?
Earl?
PV?
Rev Kool?
Jurgen?
drfoody?
Donna?
And those I unintentionally omitted, please add you opinion on Dezis comment.

I don't think he's right, for the record. Nor do I care whether Iraq
has them. I do not believe that Iraq poses any kind of serious threat
to its neighbours or, indeed, the USA.

The Guardian did an interesting article on the chemical weapons Iraq
was known to have had or could have developed. All would now be past
their "sell by" date apparently, with the possible exception of
Anthrax.

Any attempts to produce a delivery system for those items would have
been obvious and would not leave Britain and the US having to pilfer
outdated documentation on Iraq or continuously pepper their
accusations with "links" to Osama & friends to justify their
aggression.

Most modern chemical weapons are stored as "binaries". This means that two
or more components of the chemical are kept separate in the warhead or
delivery device and not mixed until immediately before impact. This is not
only safer than keeping the chemicals in a fully "mixed" state, but also
allows them to be stored for much longer periods of time. Remember that the
US Army's stockpile at Dugway in Utah is at least as old as 25 or 30 years
and is still quite potent.

A simple 81 mm mortar shell can distibute enough VX or phosgene to make
quite a mess. For that matter, a lightbulb with anthrax spores inside it can
do a frightfully good job of contaminating a subway station or city bus.

Still, the US and UK are wrong in this one.

Poor Desi, yet another drunken lie! The Dr. Dolly Coughlan archive exists
because Desmond Coughlan lacks conviction in his words. He won't allow his
posts to be archived in Google. Please feel free to use it to your advantage.

Thanks for leaving me out again, sigh

I think the Americans do know what they gave to the iraqi's.
Rumsfeld personally gave Saddam chemical weapons
So yes, Iraq has chemical weapons delivered by Americans to use
against Iran

The word you are searching for -- is HYPERBOLE. You have
recognized that behavior in desi before, and you have seen it again
in his post here. It will NEVER go away... since that is one of the
various _weapons_ desi has in his _argument arsenal_ that he believes
can substitute for logical, and perceptive analysis, using truthful
presentations and arguments. But we all drop are heads and
sadly observe -- _desi will be desi_.

I agree with you. Iraq most certainly has them, but the cost to disarm
Saddam is a price too high to pay. One which will be paid in installments
lasting into the decades, IMHO. Now if he were actually to USE those
weapons in a proven attack, that could present another set of response
options.

What you really have to ask... is the question if desi has EVER
been _correct_ in any analysis of the world condition? The answer
to your question, and the general question... must obviously be
a resounding NO.

Correct in every regard. It is unlikely that Saddam would _dare_ use
his WMD on his neighbours. The USA would hesitate to respond in kind
but Israel would surely devastate most of Iraq.

In any case, the USA would be fully justified in undertaking quite
extreme military action under the circumstances that you propose.

They were not racist remarks PV, at least not at the time!


Sadly some of the undesirables are returning to cause trouble and
conflict. I just hope the world has a chance to repair the trouble
they will produce.

I call 'em, the way I see 'em. When speaking of _cleansed_, and
_undesirables_, no matter what kind of a face you want to have
others believe it shows... the connection is too clear to be ignored.
At best, you should have better sense to connect those words
together. At worst, you did so purposely.

Well what's wrong with cleansing an area of undesirables?

Because there is a terrible connection to those two words when
used in the same sentence... and only an imbecile would not
recognize that, regardless of how you argue it was not what you
meant. Oops... okay... I can understand how YOU might be confused.
