View Full Version : Coalition to Restore Saddam to Power
From thelemon.net
Coalition Admits Iraq has no WMD, Agrees to Restore Saddam to Power
BAGHDAD, IRAQ -- After a month of searching the 169,235 sq mi nation, coalition forces have been unable to find the Weapons of Mass Destruction that they claimed Saddam had in his possession. With such a clear failure to justify the attacks, coalition leaders have agreed to withdraw and restore Saddam Hussein to his rightful position as mass-murdering dictator of Iraq.
In an address explaining the move, Bush told reporters, "We thought he had WMD, but since we can't find any that must mean they never existed. While Saddam has been deceptive in the past, we don't believe he would do anything irresponsible, such as moving the weapons to Iran or Syria. This is unfortunate, since it means there was no good reason for the war. Gosh. Sorry about that. We promise to get the torture chambers put back together again as soon as we can, and we plan to go house-to-house in Baghdad and collect all of the stuff people stole from his dozens of palaces."
Saddam was gracious in accepting his former position and is eager to get things back to normal. In order to aid in the restoration, the U.S. has released a special "Lil' Ones: Most Wanted" deck of playing cards, listing all of the children that need to be rounded up and thrown back into Saddam's child prisons. U.S. leaders apologized, admitting they had no right to free Saddam's prisoners.
Saddam thanked the U.S. for the assistance, but insists that it is not needed. When he learned that coalition forces were filling in the mass graves they had exhumed, he said, "Don't worry about filling in mass graves, I'll fill them up myself."

2 months is not a "clear" indicator, IMHO.
I know you liberals are all to willing to swoop down and let your claws out but keep circling for now... Maybe after 6 months or a year it would be reasonable to state that the search for them has failed.
That still wouldn't prove they weren't there, by the way. More like proving the actual search was a failure. That is not the same thing as proving they aren't there.

Wait a sec, didn't you warmongers only give the UN inspectors 1 month before declairing them inept!
Now with NO opposition, many of the Iraq leaders in custody (and interogation), and several hundred US dead (and still dying), you all still can't find anything....
2 months not a clear indicator... whoa, thanks Riptide, I needed that laugh, I hope the rest of the world can see the humor too...
For as much as Bush and his regime were ranting we should have been stepping over WMD's on every block, and finding a lab in every warehouse.

Nice try,
The inspectors weren't even in Iraq for the past 10 years. The only person who did anything about it, was the guy you all love to loathe, Clinton. Of at the time he was smack dab in the middle of an impeachment hearing, so all the Republicans simply said he was trying to deflect from that rather than force Saddam into compliance... amazing the parts of history some would like to leave out.
Long story, short. Bush wanted to go to war no matter what. He even started while the U.N. inspectors were still in place. Pathetic.

What are you talking about man? Iraq has kicked them out time and again from 1991 until the present. You telling me I just imagined the UN sending inspectors to Iraq?

If'n I were a conservative pitbull right now I'd be saving me ammunition for when the federal investigation into the 9/11 intelligence department failures come out...methinks you're gonna need it if half of the reports rumors are true. (Bush was briefed ONE MONTH before the attacks that Al Quada was planning to hijack an airplane and use it in a suicide attack? Oh, that will NOT look good during an election year... :lol: )

Hindsight is 20/20.
FDR was briefed about the potential for a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and a radio officer mistook the column of attacking planes as a US exercise. :(
History is litered with good advice ignored.

I guess we can tell Bush hasn't cracked open very many history books. :)
Btw, while the inspectors where there they were fruitfull, hence why Saddam didn't like them. They did their job,they did it well and getting kicked out only proved it.
Now if the rest of the world didn't care that they got kicked out, you can't drop the blame on the U.N.'s front door.

I have never supported saddam...
I however do not support the way that things were brought about..
since it is a fait accompli @ this stage it is water under the bridge... but there is still a question of accountability... i.e. we went in for wmd's since they were a stated threat...
these have not been found and we have removed large numbers of wmd inspectors...
we are also holding... in iraq...thousands and thousands of iraqi's even though our media only reporting a much smaller number... obviously released with the blessings of our armed forces PR department...
how do I know ? one of my m8's dads is an interogator... and its not very fun down there in the weather as it is...
unless accountability == nought ?

ok, so since we didn't do it to your liking, lets fix things up and get Hussein back into power so then you can try your way:rofl
Grab a shovel and a couple pairs of heavy corpse handling gloves, you'll need it:lol:

Declaring them inept? The contention was mainly that the Iraqis were not being cooperative, not that the inspectors themselves were fools. Even Hans Blix declared them as being in material breach if I remember correctly.
So what the hell are you anyway, some sort of weapons inspector? It's your "expert" opinion that 2 months is it. After all, if they just let you in there you would've found them in 2 days if they were there to be found right? :rolleyes:
What has "the rest of the world" done for the Iraqis except continually make excuses for why we shouldn't go in and remove that swine Saddam?
The last portion of your post is a ridiculous exagerration and you know it. It should be obvious to any thinking human being that if the inspectors weren't able to just run right into them like that then they were well hidden. Duh.

Jeez, talk about missing the point there... He's probably cracked open more history books than you, that much I would damn near guarantee.

Isn’t it possible that Saddam Hussein ordered their destruction, as U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has suggested?
No. I don’t think it’s even remotely possible. I just cannot follow the Rumsfeld logic; that watching CNN and seeing the American build-up Saddam said to his generals, “It’s obvious that the U.S. is going to invade; we had better destroy our biggest weapons, so that when I am toppled there might be some very difficult questions for Donald Rumsfeld to answer.”
:rofl

yes isn't it really strange how when asked for accountability there is a little thing called patriotism and party lines that is brought up ?
I have not changed my stance one iota from when the war was just being suggested... on the other hand the whole deal with weapons of mass destruction has gone from being THE primary issue to being on the backburner or not important at all for yourself bu...
note : notice how I don't bunch you together with the other conservatives on this board ???

the rest of the world respected the soverignity of the nation... and the rest of the world provided aid to an extent... either through materials or politically...
obviously now that that 'swine' has been removed... the iraqi people continue to suffer while the oil wells are operating again and happen to be in fabulous condition unlike many other parts of the nation... incl utilities... :)

any which way you want son. Doesn't make a difference to me.
Since when have I brought up party lines and patriotism? LMAO, the only guy that has done so when he is asked something he doesn't like is 1stFlight:rofl
I'm waiting just as eagerly as the next person for those WMDs, only thing is, you guys started complaining about it the day the war started:lol:
you don't like that our military went in, so you prefer that we never would have and Saddam would still be there today. Nope, you don't care about the mass graves or the thousands upon thousands of people being murdered by the regime, nooo... only thing that matters to you is that some left wing idealogy would have been implemented in "solving" the Iraq problem.
oh yeah, you guys could have really convinced Saddam to stop torturing, raping and murdering innocent people through talking it out with him.
Talk, thats all the left does anymore:rofl
