Breaking: Saddam tried to buy WMD from US in 1983..and succeeded..
Rumsfeld and Bush claim this proves Saddam has been an imminent threat...for over 20 years..so the war was justified..

2. This is no joke
During the Gulf War #1, our troops were fighting an Iraqi army armed by the US. I remember a CNN news story (they were still a news organization in '91) where a US Army sergeant was instructing some troops on the types of land mines they would be encountering. All made in the USA. He said the Iraqi's had a few million of them, and we knew this because we had the reciepts.

3. I know. It's just so 'old news' that I got a little silly. Serious now.

6. Very good point.......they DID keep saying "for 20 years"
that implicates Raygun and Bush 1 nicely........

Isn't that also when we were training Osama in Virginia?
