They aren't a threat with 300k troops. Should we have to keep 300k people over there constantly just not to break a few eggs? That is not a reasonable tactic or approach. Should we have to keep them there for peace?
They have not found the chemical weapons.. thats the problem. Under the last UN weapons report. The UN knows of 21 THOUSAND lbs of chemical and biological weapons. 10k lbs of Anthrax alone. It isn't being released as to the whereabouts or destruction field so we can anylize the site. This is why they are a threat. They aren't coming forth with that much information, and its NOT the job of the inspectors to play find the weapons, under UN resolution is Saddams responsibility to reveal these weapons. He is not doing so. How much hide and seek do you guys want? They already passed a resolution 15-0 calling for IMMEDIATE discovery of all this 21k lbs of material. It still isn't found, it still isn't accounted for. He has not complied, nor is doing so. 21 Thousand lbs of agent is nothing to take lightly. You don't hide something unless you want to keep it.
Field intercepts have been captured from Saddam to his field generals authorizing use of these agents. How can they use them if they don't have them??? makes you think...

gmat: oil companies dont export Mirage jet parts.
Also, Saddams airforce was out of commission after the last gulf war. These parts were shipped in the last 7 years. Mirage parts are manufactured almost soley in France. (the parts in question)They have been constantly shipped over the ban period. Total denial isn't going to work on this isssue im afraid.

Saddam is the threat we are removing. As long as he is there, he will remain a threat. Lets just review that 100% vote he got as dictator of Iraq. Do you know ANY free country that has a popluation vote 100% for anything. I guess that choice is easy if you have a gun pointed to your head. But freedom isn't exactly a concern I see for the French people, is it? You guys weren't thinking that when the US and Brits restored Frances freedom from Germany. Do we OWN you? Do we control your government? Do we own western Germany? Who did attempt to control it last time? Lets try not to TOTALLY ignore the past.
