I need your help, Re: Flame war with conservative
I need citation information, preferably links, to support the charge that the CIA and or NSA concluded that Saddam Hussein represented no imminent threat to the US, and that he had no weapons.

I also need cite info showing that the US has found no WMD's in Iraq and that they have given up looking for them. This guy is convinced that weapons will still be found :eyes:

It would be nice if I could find these citations in a source a conservative would take seriously (which probably means no foreign papers). I try not to get into these tiffs, but it happened, and now I have to see it through.

1. Jesus, good luck
You could show them a videotape of Bush admitting that he lied about WMD, and they still would dismiss it as a liberal lie.

3. I've played that game. Waste of time.
They won't accept anything that's not from World Net Daily, Fox News, the National Review, or the Heritage Foundation.

Since all their acceptable "news" sources are only propaganda outlets, it's impossible to convince them of anything.

4. Google David Kay report n/t
then also look for the articles indicating David Kay is resigning in advance of his last report on WMDs.

5. The Iraq UNCOVERED video
tell them to watch the Iraq Uncovered video. It shows completely the crap Bushco did from genuine sources. Remind them that they will not be able to disprove any of the evidence demonstrated and that it wouldn't matter anyway since they wouldn't believe Cheney if he said Bush was lying. You might also mention that its a video which should be easier for them than the written word.


there is a link to it in the "web links" section of my web site.

6. Let's see...
If there were WMD's to be found, why did the administration quietly remove the inspection teams last week? 'Nuff said.

7. If there were WMD's why haven't the insurgents used them?
Edited on Sat Jan-17-04 11:19 PM by doc03
Are they afraid of breaking the rules or what? If a country is invaded
and occupied by a foreign power are they called insurgents or freedom fighters?
