Heh, good one but keep in mind that most of them were bought through the black market

Back in 1994, before Saddam kicked the UN inspectors out, they DID find weapons Saddam isn't allowed to have. However, Saddam kicked them out...

... and so almost ten years later, the ball has regained enough momentum to where we are asking Saddam what happened to the weapons of mass destruction that we KNEW he had. Now he claims they are gone, and we don't know that they aren't, but the UN has charged Saddam with the task of PROVING that he has either destroyed or is destroying said weapons. The problem is, Saddam is just playing cat and mouse with the inspectors. Since this is the case, and clearly the international community doesn't want weapons of mass destruction in Saddam's hands, it is the opinion of the US that we should go in and take the weapons (and the country) away from him by force, since he isn't playing nice in the more peaceful channels. Nobody likes Saddam and think he is a good thing for Iraq. Just about anybody (from any country) thinks Saddam shouldn't rule any country and needs to spend the rest of his life in prison or be exicuted. The reservations come from people who don't think it is the US's right to lead the operation, or they don't think it is right to engage in a war simply to change undesirable governments. It is the technicalities of a concept called "the Just war," that is causing the most problems. No one thinks Saddam should go on living, they just don't think the US has moral authority (yet) to start anything. Bush and company [think they have moral authority], but their credibility is a bit tarnished by allegations of conflicts of interest regarding oil, true or no. Now what is interesting is that even IF the Big-Oil allegations are true, this doesn't mean Bush and company aren't right.

Goodmorning!

The point is; Bush wants to know what Sadam did with the weapons & knowledge he got from the USA.

[ShotgunEd]

Because the british sold them to him?

[Cubeoid]

Didn't you know? Bush knows everything?
