There are plenty of them on the lefty side of things too.

Other major wire services also carried the same story however most of them have been archived. I am sure if you do not trust Newsmaxe a good google search would pull up a source that meets with your approval
Aslo keep in mind that lying sadman told the un he had destroyed the very same bombs that were used.
BTW the only reason they never went off as wmd's was because the bozos that used them did not have the brains to fire them from a cannon that was the only reason the nerve gas was never generated. The only way that can happpen is by firing them from a cannon where the rifling causes the shell to spin which mixes the gas agents in flight.
The point here is he still had them when he claimed he did not. Had they been fired properly there could very well have been hundreds if not thousands of dead people had they landed in the right place, you can take that to the bank.

I tell you what, since you where there when we hit 'certain' areas, I will just take your word for it that those sniffers did not go off, at least not more than a 1/2 dozen times.
If you actually read the report, as someone pointed out above, it was inconclusive at best. I think they were moved as we gave them plenty of time screwing with the UN and France.

You mean the cache that had been forgotten?
The mustard gas shell identified by the special WMD inspection team in Iraq appears to be one of 550 declared by Saddam to U.N. inspectors during the early 1990s. These shells disappeared later in 2002 when Hans Blix asked to see them.

Actually, they didn't disappear. Iraq at one point admitted that the number they had was about 550 shells greater than what they previously reported but said they lost track of them in the Gulf War. Your source has its info wrong.

not Syria. Out of the 10 000 people in abu gharib 9700 are IRAQI, and only about 300 are from other countries. Can you explain that in your minds, or are you just going to double think?
Belive me, if you where fighting Syria, you would have already lost the war.
As for the number of prisoners, major general Lazem, said, “they are currently 7443 prisoners, suspects and convicted, including 92 of the Arabs and foreigners, whose percentage compared to all prisoners in Iraq is 60%. There are 40% of the detainees under the American forces and the interior ministry. updated as of 7 27 05

Syria is where these insurgents are comming from, as well as SA. So it doesn't seem all surprising to me. We should invade Syria for allowing insurgents to cross the border while taking no action to hault this. They are supporters of the insurgency and are an enemy of the coalition force. Israel I think would more than likely back the US in an invasion against Syria considering their past history.
How many more countries?
How many more Co-alition men will we send home in boxes?

That's what the US says, without a shred of proof. Maybe you should invade when you have proof, or is proof not required anymore when undertaking a billion dollar and thousands of lives costing enterprise like war? You so easily believe what your government wants you to believe. Sometimes I really think a lot of Americans are perfectly fit these days for living in a Putin style authoritarian regime, disguised as a democracy.

At best Israel could on its own destroy Syria's airforce. Israel couldn't even successfully occupy Lebanon during the 1980s.

More untruths from SS one of your own sources states only 7443 are there not 10,000 as you claim and even all of them are not under US control. Also there are only 92 Arabs and foreigners not 300 as you claim. So again I say stop with your lying and or persistent exaggerations of the real honest facts.

Oh please, Iraq had little or nothing to do with 9/11, much less Syria. Ever taken a look at the nationalities of the hijackers and planners of 9/11?
Originally posted by Syrian Sister
YOu previously had over 92 non iraqi arabs, you had about 300 infact if recall correctly. What happened to those men/women?
So really, where are these supposed foreign fighters you where talking about.
