i find it impossible to believe they wouldn't plan for this, or it's just another example Bush's 'imcompetence'.PhilosophyGenius said:For some reason planting WMD's seems to difficult to pull off than 9/11. Especially at this stage in the game.
i also disagree with this.Ignatius Riley said:once the WMDs are found, for the US to have credibility backing the claims of the find, they would have to be turned over to international inspectors. Tracing a nuke back to its source is stupid-simple if you know what to look for. In the end, you run the risk of the IAEA saying, these nukes were made in Oak Ridge 15 years ago December, not in Iraq. Imagine how that would look. You would be giving the world a indisputable reason to unite against you.
yes, but it's not like they'd have to sneak the nuke in. who is occupying the country again?Ignatius Riley said:yeah yeah, no yelling,
they won't investigate what Americans do to Americans on American soil. But they would investigate what Americans do to Iraqis on Iraqi soil. See the difference?
Logistics would be a nightmare. Getting the nukes, which are rigorously accounted for here, disguising them, making them look Iraqi, planting them, rediscovering them, all a massive operation with grave implications. Not that Bush and co isn't capable.
It is more like they didn't have the time to make it happen. The planning for 911 would have taken years, by most accounts. A nuke-planting clandestine op would take almost as long, no? Perhaps the junta simply hadn't planned far enough ahead.
Remember, Saddam not only didn't have nukes, he didn't have the capability to make them, didn't have the facilities, the equipment, the personnel, the infrastructure, and on. So the planting of nukes becomes pretty dern tough. It would be one thing if Iraq had the nuke-making infrastructure but no nukes.

it all makes sense now. if they can rig 9/11 why not plant WMD's?
because you become the punchline of every late night show host?MikeJr. said:Why go through the trouble, when the lie has worked so well. Why present any proof on anything they say, when lies seem to work so well for this admin.
