Re: Re: Re: War on Iraq IQ test
I only checked out that first linkm, but it looks just like what the WHO and UN say about it as well...
Frankly, I am very against DU because although science is leaning towards "mostly harmless" I wouldn't want the shit dropped in my neighborhood. Irrational maybe, but radiation freaks me out o matter how "safe it is"... I hide my nuts in a lead coffeecup when I use the microwave practically.. 
I would be all for banning its use (the US is currently switching over to Tungsten rounds instead of DU), but I hate these scaremongering propaganda whores who will show you a picture of deformed baby and say that DU caused it. DU, IMHO, is creepy enough without fabricating evidence. Honesty, it seems, takes a back seat to politics and fear... 
Seems like S.O.P. of the uberleft though....

We can't even rebuild Iraq for 40 billion..
Gee, awfully convenient to forget Iraq's #1 Chem/bio supplier, Germany. And Iraq's #1 nuclear supplier France, and Iraq's #1 delivery vehicle (for WMD) supplier, Russia...
I guess the "Prevention of Genocide Act of 1988" that was unanimously passed when we found out about Halabja doesn't count...
The first Gulf War?
Wrong.
Great, only WMD [oops EDIT: DU] can't be shown to cause increased cancer rates. In fact, the most likely reason why Iraqis had increased cancer rates are from Saddam using his chem weapons in the Shiite areas of Iraq...
You mean besides the two prior wars of aggression?
No kidding, we already removed Saddam...
Yep, and they were right on the $...
Yeah, it's criminal that UN oficials, as well as several European officials greased their palms with oil-for-food money. Every single death rests on their shoulders if these allegations are true.
Wrong again. 1997/1998
Better question: How many of those resolutions are actual binding on Israel? |
WOW! If I were immature I would write "Owned" in big huge letters, but I wont.

your barking up the tree of an inconsistant analogy.
Here's why:
Israel has never (as in not once, never, nil, zero, nada) been condemned by the UN for WMD.
Anyone who knows the often the UN condemns Israel should be awe struck by this.
Second, Israel doesn't have a WMD program
Third, Israel has never been sanctioned or regulations/restriction imposed because of its WMD policy.
Fouth, Israel has never been aggressive to its neighbors and does not pose a threat to the region (so long as no one tries to destory it).
If Israel was condemned the the UN for WMD, did start a war numerous times, and had been sanctioned afterwords to no effect, then your anaology would be compatiable.
Afterall, the same points this anti-zoinist raised regarding Israel's WMD endevaours could just have easily been "facts" for Iran, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, or Sudan. Nope, the author just to discriminate soley against Israel in this cause (clearly antisemtic ).
So to address your statement again "So there is no relevance of two countries in the same region who have secretly persued WMD programs and violated UN resolutions?" No! There are MUCH MORE than two countries in the region. So why pick and say there is relevance with only one? |
Have you ever heard of VETO POWER that the US has taken advantage of???
