Bush to Saddam: Get out of Iraq in two days or prepare to die.

[A Black Falcon]

1. If Saddam was destroying his WMD, why he kick out inspectors? Why did he not show the proof of their destruction? If Saddam truly destroyed his weapons, why did he go so far out of his way to draw suspicion on himself? Why, if he destroyed all these weapons, did he refuse to prove it?

Obvious answer: Because he didn't destroy them. He either hid them very well or transported them out of the country.

First, he may have either transported some elsewhere or hidden them in parts very well. Its possible, but until I see proof I have no way to really know... but it could be either way. But if they are in parts he probably would just keep the missiles or something and destroy or get rid of the banned chem/bio agents... since that's what we are really looking for.

Next, there are good reasons for his actions. He hates us and the west. He does the least he possibly can to cooperate with us. The absolute minimum. And he knew he could get away with kicking out the inspectors in '98. Just like how a few years later he knew that he would never get away with having chem/bio weapons (he had no nuclear program to speak of), so he got rid of them. Its fairly simple... he did what he could to stay in power and resist us. He just didn't count on a US president ignoring international law.

2. Why is it that the UN inspectors needed more time, more time, more time, yet now that we're searching, the liberal zombies are all moaning because results weren't instantaneous? Iraq's a huge place and we've hardly had the chance to look yet, and obviously they're not going to be hidden in an obvious place!

Even Donald Rumsfeld admitted that they might have destroyed them before the war. :)

And why are we saying things? Very easy. The inspectors took so long because Iraq was doing all they could to keep them from functioning (whether there were weapons to find or not... but until they left in '98 they were effective, considering the situation, in doing what they were there to do and finiding weapons). And now that is all gone and they can go anywhere, with far more inspectors. So there are no excuses.

And its pretty clear that the weapons were mostly destroyed and the evidence that they ever existed cleaned up.

Oh, and Weltall, what about impeaching Bush over the administrations' systematic lying? I hadn't heard of it as a possibility before, but that article (its NOT an opinion piece, its law...) makes a convincing case that it might be possible... :)
