Saddam has had those nasty weapons of mass destruction since the early ‘80s. From that time has there ever been a terrorist attack with WMDs? The Tokyo subway attack comes to mind, but they made that stuff up themselves.
Even in Israel and Lebanon, areas jam packed with those terrorist kookys and right next to Iraq, there has not been one terrorist attack with gas or biological agents that Saddam supposedly has.
What about the late 90’s early 2000, no weapon inspectors in Iraq, active terrorism in the region: lunatic Palestinian suicide bombers, Al Qaeda raids all round the world, but still NO attacks with Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. Even when the weapon inspectors were not there!
But that’s all well and good; he has a track record of using them, doesn’t he?
In the 1980s Saddam used his WMDs and received no threats from US, UK, or Australia. Since that time, with the active containment policy, has he used any?
But the fact remains; he has made them before and has used them before so the threat will always be there.
It is true that some terrorists would use WMDs if they got them, and are probably actively seeking them. But if we are going to invade Iraq because hypothetically they might give them to terrorists (that’s a bit strange for a PM who won’t even answer hypothetical questions), surely we should be doing the same to all other countries that have these WMDs. Syria, Iran (maybe?), North Korea, Pakistan?
Wouldn’t it be just as easy for Osama to drive up to some Russian nuclear base, pay the soldiers that work there and get some?
The aim is to get rid of Saddam, setup a large US presence in the region, and start scaring the surrounding countries into democracy! And if they don’t start the voting, well you can bet you’ll start hearing about their WMDs!
As for lil’ Johnnys claim that Iraq is a ‘lethal threat’ to Australia isn’t that why the ONA guy quit? Because of the bullshit link that the government is trying to make between terrorists and Iraq?
One of them is lying because they are both seeing the same intelligence aren’t they?

I think the main thrust of Johnny's speech was to convince us that if a rogue state like Iraq is allowed to continue then that will encourage other rogue states to aquire WMDs and then that would make it much more likely for them to distribute WMDs to terrorists. So that's the threat to Australia and Iraq's link to Al Quaeda. I wasn't convinced...... |

But the other 'rogue' states his talking about are already making the WMDs, more than Saddam! The rogue state WMD and terrorist is crap; they are much more likely to get it from Russia or Pakistan than Iraq. |

I'll try saying it again if you like using other words. Mr Johnny is saying that if Iraq is left alone then other Rogue States will think they can make WMDs too and that would create an increase in the number of WMD vendors that terrorists could shop at. Not just Iraq. Fuck why I defending Howard's point of view? I'll tell you why because I hate it when people don't read posts properly. It's called the "nipping it in the bud" argument or you could call it the "nits make lice" argument if you like. |

With all of the UN heat on Iraq, no cunt ain't gonna be buying no weapons. Why start killing people en masse. I think that is what this thread is about and it makes absoulte sense. So many hypotheticals, justification for carpet bombing...no, we all agree, even that Patriot guy, there is another agenda, its called western global dominance. What John, short fucking accountant, Howard thinks he has got to do with it I will never understand.....unless someone sends me the dossier. cunt london |

Howard's Press Club speech was remarkably pathetic. It was supposed to be the big convincing filibuster to finally get us all on-side for a war in the Middle East (a Pandora's Box with generational repucussions ). It was little more than a fart from George Bush's arse. -Dusty Davo from Derrimut |

Isn't Australia they only place in the world that has allowed terrorists to make and test WMDs? They allowed the Aum Supreme Truth sect to buy a farm in West Australia and make nerve gas and test it on sheep. This nerve gas was then used in an attack on a Tokyo subway. I demand immeadiate action be taken against the rogue nation of Australia! It has condoned one of the most heinous and cowardly terrorist attacks of all time. Just think, if those ding-a-lings could make a WMD on a farm in WA, why would Osama need to go get 'em from Saddass? They could do it themselves! |

Repeat; no terrorist, no matter how dumb, will be buying jack shit from Iraq while the UN are keeping such a close eye on them. Terrorist attacks from Iraq are so fricking minimal; its all propaganda. |

Tell us Mr (right wing extremist) Patriot, why hasn't the US given North Korea a three week deadline to disarm or be faced with attack? |
