Huge weapons cache found

[Joeaksa]

One thing, I am getting on a jet and heading West in a few hours. Am really glad that you guys can use this time to search the internet and find where 29 years is not the longest Jap soldier who held out. Tech, this is a hint that your post is not accurate other than to show that one guy was found after 29 years. Another one came out 2 years ago after almost 60 years in the jungle.

Speaking of holding out, will it take 60 years for Rodeo and his gang to come to their senses and pull their heads out of the sand? One never knows but we can all hope that after the next terrorist attack or when we continue to find weapons hidden like this one that eventually they will see the light. The problem here is that America has been at war for the last 20 years and you guys, like the Jap soldier above, were suspicious and would not realize the truth. Hope it happens before its too late.

No, actually Joeska's "60 years" is correct:

I stand corrected.

Does this mean Joe plans to hold on to his groundless WMD fears for another 58 years?

Wow. These guys just gave up, this past May! How sad and honorable at the same time.

Did you see this passage, though? Eerily similar to some content here:

In the years immediately after the war, signs posted in many areas warned travellers that the PP OT posters were still present. They had dug in, ignoring pamphlet drops and even the president’s speech telling them that the war had ended and no WMDs had been found.

Two years ago, Dick Cheney authorised a mission to Pelican cyber land to try to find what the hell these people were thinking, but even he came back empty handed. He did pick up some new torture techniques, though.

America's Foreign Minister yesterday said embassy officials from Baghdad had gone to the OT Board to meet the latest group, and that it was almost certain they were followers of a cult figure known as Mullhollandose.

Nah, will not take anywhere near that long.

Groundless is the platform that you and your Democratic friends are standing on, more like quicksand, but not to worry, before you guys drown we will throw you a lifejacket.

What are you guys, back to "Gilligan's Island" again?


And Joe, watch that grammar, or I am have to chastise you again!

Lordy.

Paranoia runs deep.
Into your life it will creep.
It starts when you're always afraid.
Step out of line, the Man comes, and takes you away.
You better stop...

So we have to sift through every grain of sand in Iraq before the "true believers" can sleep calmly?

So torturing thousands of Iraqis got us no answers?

To think that there are *threatening* WMDs still lurking in Iraq is paranoid fantasy. There may be some small-yeild munitions, but nothing that posed an "immediate threat to US security" as promised in early '03.

Sorry, 20-year-old munitions we and the Europeans gave Saddam to use against Iran just don't count.

Where are the WMDs Saddam was "preparing" to "use against us?"

Maybe more important, where are the factories Saddam was using to make these new WMDs?

I'll grant there may be some munitions stashed in the sand, but WMD factories? Please.

[Rodeo]

Tech, it's not just the factories we didn't find, it's the entire infrastructure, physical, financial and human, that is missing. That's why I laugh at the "buried in the sand" wing nuts. I can’t help myself. They are so desperately wed to their views that they completely overlook that a WMD program on a scale threatening to the United States can't be buried in the sand. There would be too much to bury, and I’m not talking about hardware.

There are factories, there are tens of thousands of personnel, there are hundreds of millions of dollars in payroll, requisitions, construction, all involved in designing and building and housing WMDs. There are vendors and suppliers. We found none of that. Not a factory, not a single individual, not a financial trail. Not one byte on one Iraqi government computer. All that taken together is good enough to know they don't exist.

The crazies that want to go searching the desert for hardware have missed the point entirely.

[Rodeo]

Think of it this way. If you really wanted to, I'm sure that you could hide the last 5 years' output of Boeing Company. Find a big hole and bury the stuff. Or a series of holes.

But could you hide the fact that Boeing ever existed?

It is entirely irrevelant what they find in Iraq anymore...If the US military finds more weapons caches fine, it stops them from being used...thats all...

What is important is to make sure that WMDs do not get in the hands of Al Qadea and its offshoots...

I agree, they are probably the biggest threat.

What are we doing to protect Americans from Soviet WMDs?

NSA Wiretapping

if we have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here, I'm enlisting. Russian women... Love'm.

Vivid tower of speculation here. Who knows, next thing we hear they have dug up Elvis next to the gun who killed Olof Palme.

"Paranoia Runs Deep". You chaps have been conditioned for it since way back. Glad I live down the arse end of the world.
