[quote=CONCHO]. . . . Iraq also didn’t have any WMD (material) and wasn’t a threat, right . . . FYI:
Wow, you’re right! They had uranium yellowcake! This article scared me so much I just wet my pants! HOLY CRAP we really did need to invade! But I found something else much scarier — yellowcake is produced by all countries in which uranium is mined! And look at some of these countries! Kazakhstan, Niger, Namibia, Uzbekistan, and Brazil? They’ve all got yellowcake so they’re all threats too — everyone has heard about the threat of the Namibian nuclear bomb program. All they have to do is to use one of these simple techniques which requires only many billions of dollars and man-years of effort to implement so we’d better invade because THEY’VE GOT YELLOWCAKE! They’re gonna make us eat their YELLOW CAKES! We’d probably get really sick. I’m gonna go turn on my TV and wait for instructions on what to do about this VERY DANGEROUS situation!!![/quote]
We’re a little off topic on this off topic post, but how many of these countries had thousands of metric tons of uranium and had used WMDs before?
Additionally, how many of these countries killed THOUSANDS of people with chemical weapons, consistently fired missles on US military aircraft in violation of the 1991 accords, were a major financier supporting international terrorism with US petro dollars, invaded neighboring countries, plotted to kill a US president, and intentionally killed hundreds of thousands of its citizens?
Back to my original point.
Iran is not a threat? Well, they have already killed Americans and will likely kill many more military personal and innocents, especially if they obtain nuclear weapons.
It’s nice to sit back and brush off such information, but maybe you would feel differently if you were a soldier in Iraq or a citizen in Israel?
