| Perndog | Depleted uranium is not dangerously radioactive (it is dangerous because it is a heavy metal and if it gets in the air it causes uranium poisoning, same as lead poisoning), and if it is the only questionable material contained in those missiles this is an even dumber story than I thought. | |||

First of all of these air-air missiles (like AK's) are well known to be in the Iraqi arsenal, and in the arsenal of about 50 other countries around the world. Its not much of a find. It's like saying "American student finds Iraq on the map"... it's a big deal for desperate morons but not for anyone else. Their warhead uses Depleted Uranium, as do warheads of several US air-air missiles. To use this as some sort of a WMD argument is absolutely nuts. Thats like saying M829A1 sabot rounds of US tanks are WMD becuase they are made of DU, or even better, saying a Boeing 747 is a WMD becasue it has DU ballast in its tail. EVERYONE knows Iraq had those missiles and they were perfectly legal to have. Iraqi aircraft have fired AA-8 missiles against Iranian aircraft. I can give you pictures of them from the 70's if anybody doesn't believe me. I'm sure saddam could have launched a massive attack on Isreal with outdated russian AA missiles. OR EVEN THE US. Quote:

| Helm | Yes. And go look at afghanistan. Or serbia. What have those attacks achieved in the long run? | |||

yes. the war was very successful! Iraq now is full of chaos, a constant flow of suicide bombers and more us troops being killed even though the "war" has been over for quite some time. There is even a fucking wall around Israel. there was no WMD and the people of Iraq are hardly liberated or safe if when everytime I turn on the TV another Iraqi police station or shrine was blown up. |

Personally, Kay seems pleased with the outcome of the war, which is certainly a very valid, liberal stance to hold. Bush on the other hand ran as a conservative, not a nation builder, and I hope his conservative base is smart enough to see that neo-cons like you Mr. Raygun are going to drive their party into the ground. |

We Canadians are going to disguise ourselves as Americans and go south to vote for Kerry on Election Day. Just wait and see. The government is already supplying us with baseball caps. |

Exactly, his findings led him to believe that war was justified. If you are going to use David Kay as a source, it's really not going to help your cause. You'll break even at best, and it will take more than "breaking even" to beat Bush. |

You're quite right about that last bit. In fact, He's urged the Preident to admit, as he has, that he was wrong. He just thinks it was justified anyway. But see, he didn't take the country to war. 'Cause he's not the President. So his feeling that it doesn't matter that we were wrong is moot. His factual findings on the other hand (or lack there of) are not. Because he's a weapons inspector. I will find and post the David Kay stuff on the Clinton Administrations strike on Iraq, but not tonight. I'm off to speak with the press. |

"Check David Kays report. The last time Clinton bombed Iraq destroyed the last remaining WMD program related activities." - Max That's funny...I didn't see that......I remember Clinton himself saying that though. Why don't you post that for us? "That's not me saying it, it's David Kay." - Max Since you're such a fan of David Kay why don't you also mention the fact that he said he supported the war in Iraq and that he thinks it was the right thing to do despite no WMD have been found? |

Check David Kays report. The last time Clinton bombed Iraq destroyed the last remaining WMD program related activities. That's not me saying it, it's David Kay. The most recent destruction of Iraqui weapons capabilities occured during the Clinton administration, and as far as Kay could determine, the last vestige of Iraqs weapons program was destroyed during that mission. |

"This definitely validates Dubya's assertions that there were MASSIVE stockpiles of chemical weapons in Iraq that could be used to strike at the heart of America at any second." - GAsux WoW! Just just pretended like Clinton and the U.N. security counsel didn't say the same exact thing. Nice going..... |

On a side note, I'm jealous. Everywhere in the world their is a free flow of AK-47s, but do I get one for the low low price of 10 bucks? Nope! Damn. |

| mesobe | I heard on the news that these very same weapons had rocket fuel in them and that they *could* possibly work if they were fired. | |||

| AChimp | The Iraqis would have to get some planes before they started worrying about how to fly them. | |||
| Mar 10th, 2004 01:13 PM | ||||
| Perndog |
Air to air missiles and air to surface missiles. In order for those to be dangerous, the Iraqis would have to be able to get planes off the ground and fly them somewhere without setting off a dozen other countries' alarms, now wouldn't they? Worthless. If this is true and gets real press, it might cause a stir but it doesn't have any significance outside the minds of the easily influenced. |

If they look hard enough, they would probably find UK/US made weapons components. The nations who make this shit dont give a fuck who buys it. My sis is involved in a court case where and indonesian national is suing the UK government for selling weapons to the indonesians to use against their own people. Finding weapons built by any of the larger weapons producing nations is hardly a newsflash, is it? |

man who cares. using uranium in anti-aircraft and and anti-vehicle weapons is common practice. There were stories in the news during and after the first war about americans becoming sick from their own uranium tipped weapons. Next they are going to say that Iraq is more dangerous because the weapons they do find are made of metal... simular to like how WMD are made! |

We'll see if anyone else picks it up.... If they do and it turns out to be true, I think it's a significant find that will hurt democrats and help America and it's allies. Huh. If they do, if it truns out to be true. You're right. Something to think about. Kind of like the story that the US kidnapped Aristide. Or the Weekly World News expose about the Sadam/Bin Laden gay marriage. Or the Easter Bunny. Just think of the ramifications should major news outlets picked up the story and it turned out to be true. |

Yes Thank god! The boys are coming home! We found rockets! Hooray! This definitely validates Dubya's assertions that there were MASSIVE stockpiles of chemical weapons in Iraq that could be used to strike at the heart of America at any second. You know, the 15 year old plus bombs that had some radioactivity? I shudder to think what might have happened had we waited another day to go to warm. God only knows how narrowly we escaped almost certain disaster. |
