All the major news media, both US and International, have invested so much time, energy, and money into denying that there was ever a threat of WMDs in Iraq (just read Arvhic's many comments in this very topic for examples) that they absolutely CANNOT admit that there really were some there.

As for our marines. The foreign illegal combatants held in Guantanamo are held there as POWs, in accordance with the Geneva Conventions. Our marines and navy personnel are being held illegally, without habeas corpus, without charges being filed. There is no "tit for tat". It is our own government, illegally treating its own citizens, not even just citizens but military members, as criminals until proven guilty. In fact, they have been treated much worse than the Guantanamo prisoners ever were.

I believe the report says that there were nearly 500 EMPTY shells of mustard gas and nerve gas found in the last couple years. The report also says that they are remaining from the first gulf war and before and have not actually been toxic for nearly six years. That means that when this war started, even if they were full shells and not empty, they were useless. What amazes me is that there are still people bent on the idea that Bush and this government had to have been right when higher ups have already admitted that they knew there were no current accurate reports of WMD's. This isn't a big deal in the media because none of what was found was potent or could be used against someone.

Sarin and mustard gas are considered "weapons of mass destruction". Over 500 charged weapons have been found.

The entire world knew that Iraq had WNDs, especially chemical weapons, before 1990, as they used them against Iraq. The entire world knew Iraq had WMDs AFTER 1991, as they used them against the Kurds. The "UN weapons inspectors" were never given, or able to find, evidence that the WMDs that were known to exist had been destroyed.

Now we have proof that they weren't.

Much too much credit is given to what used to be the major media. With all the conservative talk shows and bloggers watching their every move they, and the democrats they are trying desperately to put back in office, can't get away with a thing anymore.

The reports I heard were that the chemicals were old, but still dangerous. Sadam certainly had them fresh enough to use them on his own people. Whether they are dangerous today doesn't mean they were not dangerous WMDs when the UN "inspectors" were looking for them before the war. He had them then. He just hid them, or moved them.

What amazes me is that we have been finding WMDs for a long time, but the Bush White House has kept quiet. Whoever you want to believe I would much rather fight this war over there instead of watching the Sears Tower fall to a Florida group of terrorist.

This call seems to be a little late, is there inside info from them useful to the case? Would they testify against father/husband?

Does anybody remember the rape houses, men being thrown off of tall buildings, and the gassing (weapons of mass destruction) of thousands of Kurds? Is your memory so short that you don't remember mass graves? And you ask, "Was this (war) a benefit to the Iraqi people?

You seem to be reading liberal news rags that would tear down the president, or the country, anything to regain power in the senate and congress. I'll bet you never hear about the schools that have opened, the new larger supplies of clean water, and more and more electricity being used by more and more Iraqi's.

Did you know that liberal news papers are going broke in America because people don't want to read their hatred anymore. My own hometown paper in a town of 350,000 is in such bad shape they are considering giving the paper away just to get the advertising. If you want the truth, I can tell you where to find it, but please, stop swallowing what you're handed as news. It is hatred, pure and simple.

Well, that depends on which side of the fence you stand, but read what I said below, as I have my own opinions as does everyone else.

Offtopic but, Mousetrails, I guess you are new, so you do not understand how first Messages work... when I ask a question in a starting Thread it is not so much that I am asking out of personal ignorance... but it is to inspire thoughts and responses. (You will see many of these questions, even in things I am expert in such as web design).

In this case, the question of this Thread is based on 'was the war really necessary?' Being that none of us are there, none of us live there, none of us are Iraqi, none of us have lost children, none of us can therefore do anything more than speculate - that is a fact - everything else is merely opinion.

Offtopic but, Although I understand your writing style you need to understand how to use "In my opinion" as well as not focus it to the individual. Not everyone that responds is basing their thoughts on what you have written per se. You may also benefit from reading the Thread in it's entirety, yes it is long, but it will help you to see all the input given from everyone on the matter.

Now here are some news updates:

I am very well aware that first messages are to provoke thought and you are very good at it. I was not replying to you, or anyone specifically, but everyone in general.

I was under the impression that everything posted on this website is just someone's opinion, including mine. I read most of the thread, then read one or two posts per page for all 95 pages. In my opinion they all show the effects of the confusion caused by a biased news media and the results of Nighthawk's post ID:91560 quoted here;

In my opinion Nighthawk is right on the money! What is the world supposed to believe when our own government acts this way? My wife has a friend who is a government attache. He hates George Bush with every fiber of his being and with every breath he spews hatred.

If the update about a US soldier charged with killing four Iraq's is true I'm truly sorry, but as in all the other cases against our soldiers I'll play a waiting game until after the trial. Insurgents are well known for killing and saying, "See what the Americans did!"
