Who ever sold anything to Iraq knew he was is a tyrrant ready to use what was given to him, anyone can get the same blame. Now Russia is doing that with Iran who will now probably use nuclear weapons for real but the world will let it happen because of the mistake with Iraq like some paradox.

Both sides have great arguments. It is understood we sold these weapons to them, but at the same time why didn't they use them on us? As long as they didn't nuke us they don't risk nuclear retaliation. We were already bombing them, levelling key parts of any city that was a risk.

Edit: with that said, why didn't we bomb Fallujah? (spelling unsure sorry)

This Silkworm missile came from China or Iran, Maybe Russia but doubtful. This is the same type that almost took out the coalition headquarters in Kuwait at the start of the 2003 war. The warhead would be in the body of the missile. No warhead head here as you can see the massive gap above the wings.

It can carry a nuke but only the old nuclear club boys can make them that small.

Most people think its in the nose and thats why they took it off, TO FOOL PEOPLE. The nose is for tracking or houses seekers most times.

Deadly missile when made in China and not packed full of dirt. In the hands of someone who maintains it well and updates them could be one of the best ship killers.

WMD from Iraq, LOL Nope don't think so.

well since we were right about Iraq.....



its only logical our next move to cleanse the axis of evil should be to stop Iran from using their wmd's......

WMD - lol!
If it hadn't been found in Iraq, nobody would even speculate that it might be. No, its a WDM - a weapon of the Daily Mail ie sensationalised rubbish masquerading as journalism.

If you look at the comments on that web page , any time anyone says anything factual they are given a negative score. It is orwellian , ignorance is strength, right is wrong . Those comments highlight exactly what is wrong with the american right wing , they latch onto any bogus information and hold it up as an oracle of truth if it suits their agenda . If anyone points outs the facts to them they are disparaged and slurred .

What a state to get into.

the washington times also carried this story in greater detail...but i lost the link,.....or ..maybe im lying..LMFAO!!!....

Iraq had Mig's
Properly configured for remote control, they could carry far more lethality than this little puppy. So , you could consider them WMD's easily.

A conventional weapon can become a WMD by merely adapting it's mission.

Uh, no. Maybe YOU consider a MIG a WMD, but nobody else does. If they did, then it would have been considered a historical fact that WMDs were discovered and destroyed during the war. Not even the Bush Administration was pushing such convoluted logic.

ANY plane, not just MIGs, can be remotely controlled and filled with WMD. By that logic, even a single-engine Cessna is a WMD.

The fact is we dont even know the photo origionated from Iraq at all, hell that could be the US Desert or Africa for all anyone knows.
As for the "weapon" being a WMD itself, unless (assuming the whole thing isnt a false-flag) carrying enriched uranium/plutonium or biological weapons then the entire thing is about as useful as a empty coke bottle. And calling it a "WMD" is misleading in itself.

So true.

I travel overseas quite frequently with quite a lot of hard right republicans. They all act either liberal leaning or act non political as soon as they get off the plane cause they cant take the heat.

You wouldnt believe how many people will hold you responsible for the crap that is done in Americas name and will corner you and ask for answers if they get the chance.

The crazy thing is that they all come back to being neocons as soon as they get back. Its must be some kind of mind control drug.
