:D :p

That could be funny, if wasn't for the fact that chemical warfare manuals were found alongside the suspicious powders and liquids.
 
Why in the world would the President of the United States subject himself to a face to face debate with out of control anti-war protestors.

An off thread aside for which I apologise, but Richard Nixon used to actually do this when he was president, not in front of TV cameras, but he used to walk out of the White House and speak to anti Vietnam war protestors, he was (genuinely I think) perplexed and upset by the way the Us was divided over the Vietnam War.

He did that once, and only once. It was a PR disaster because although there were no reporters around at the moment itself, the students spoke later about the conversation. Nixon spent the whole time talking about American Football.

Saddam live on TV referring to peasant shooting down a US plane (1 week ago) that would indicate that he was alive then (unless this is a Saddam double).

He is inviting the Iraqi people to fight the coalition forces. (indicating that the Republican Guard are no longer around?)

280 'dismembered' by bombs

Witnesses: Dozens Killed in Hit Near Baghdad

http://asia.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=2503975



Never mind the on going war, another one is in the planning;Ex-CIA director: U.S. faces 'World War IV'



While warmongers are looking for a pretext to start it all;



U.S.: Iran will infiltrate 5 Iraqi cities


Although there seems to be a doubt about the first lot of evidence emerging;

Evidence Against Syria Is Questioned


However there is a rush to set-up the next patsy all the same, regardless of the consequences, after all US has declared war on the planet, and as yet there seems to be no one who has realised that, other than Iraqis, and the Syrians!
 
Re Captain Chaos's link to WW4. I had to laugh at this bit.....

"Singling out Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the leaders of Saudi Arabia, he (James Woolsey) said, "We want you nervous. We want you to realize now, for the fourth time in a hundred years, this country and its allies are on the march and that we are on the side of those whom you -- the Mubaraks, the Saudi Royal family -- most fear: We're on the side of your own people."

Ok, who's going to tell him the people aren't on the side of the USA though? He might be in for a surprise.

Unexplained powders and liquids found in tunnels under Baghdad (officially no longer Saddam) Airport.

What a ridiculous post!

If you want to put forward your theories about what chemical weapons Iraq may or may not have, then start a thread and post some evidence (though I doubt if you have any more idea than I do).

Don't just post up some half arsed statement that reads like a tabloid headline.

And since when has Baghdad Airport been re-named?

The US military renamed the airport. Also, the reports of as-yet untested bottles of liquids and powders are very much in the news. Below is a link to an AP story.

This was in-fact in Northern Iraq - which is controlled by the Kurds and NOT by Saddam! - so can hardly be used as proof that Saddam had links to Al Qu'aida. The fundementalists using N.Iraq, had i think entered from Iran.

No doubt non of these facts will prevent Amerika using this as "proof" that Saddam was harbouring WMD's and terrorists though!

:p

It reminds me of Winston Churchill during the blitz.

[But in many ways it's the very precision and lethality of the most advanced weapons that makes them so dangerous to friendly personnel," the Associated Press wrote in an article yesterday. "These weapons are so accurate that if you target the wrong place you're probably going to kill the people you've targeted," Mark Burgess, a research analyst at the Washington-based think tank Center for Defense Information told the news service. ]
