Back in '91, Saddam signed a treaty that would allow UN inspectors into Iraq. Suddenly, he won't let them in. This is a clear violation if the treaty, and it obviously means he's got something hidden that he doesn't want the UN to find. He's obviously hiding weapons...and the discovery of the warheads further suggests this.
The fcuking bastard is up to something, and if we don't strike first, he will. It's that simple. We shoulda killed the fcuking cuntrag back in '91[/quote]
You really buy that ####? Lol...
Bush's reasons for doing this? I dunno... probably oil and/or to look good in the media. But make no mistake, politicians (including Bush), do not act upon their moral obligations (ie: "war on terrorism bs"). Nor do they give a #### if people break treaties...
The only reason they'd care about that is if they had a damn good reason for wanting them to comply with these old terms.. in this case, to look good in the media and possibly oil. If you remember, oil was the reason the US defended Kuaite.
You know Saadam allowed UN inspectors into the country and "complied" with US demand, right? That proves one simple thing... he's not going to strike first, and never intends to. He's in power because he wasn't stupid enough to go all out on the US in '91, and in fact wouldn't have invaded Kuaite if he'd known the US would retaliate. Right now, he's been trying to talk his way out of it... because he doesn't want to fight the US.
Saadam's not stupid, he wants to stay in power.
