Bush's Illegal War' Questionnaire

by c/o nonanarchist2101 Monday, Dec. 15, 2003 at 2:11 AM

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can, and as many with a straight face as possible. Please answer quickly as you already have all of the answers.

1. Since George W. Bush is evil, and thought by some to be far more dangerous than Saddam Hussein, could you please list the instances you are aware of where George W. Bush has ordered the murder, torture and rape of American citizens, like yourself, who oppose his presidency.



2. Could you list any sites of mass graves of American citizens ordered to be killed by the Bush administration?



3. Further, could you please list the instances you are aware of when George W. Bush has ordered the murder of members of his own family.



4. Do you feel that Saddam Hussein possessed no weapons he was specifically forbidden to have by the UN; for example, the Scud missiles he fired into Kuwait during the first two weeks of the war?



5. How do you think Saddam was able to fire weapons that he didn't have?



6. Are inspectors inspectors, or are inspectors detectives?



7. How many more months would you have given Saddam Hussein to comply with the 17 UN resolutions, passed over 12 years?



8. If you owned an apartment building, for how many months would you allow a tenant to defy you to kick him out for not paying the rent he owes?



9. If the UN, and the previous administration, were convinced Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and used that as a basis for their actions against Iraq, how do those reasons evaporate when applied by the Bush administration?



10. If the Bush administration, led by the evil GWB, lied about weapons of mass destruction in order to go to war, why haven't we found any WMD secretly planted by the Bush administration?



11. If you feel it would be too difficult to plant WMD in Iraq, because there are too many people watching, such that no one can do anything sneaky in Iraq, then why can't we find Saddam?



12. Do you disagree with the statement..."The weapons of mass destruction used in the 9/11 attacks were box-cutters"?



13. Do you think finding an airplane fuselage in a terrorist training camp in northern Iraq means terrorists were practicing hijackings? If not, for what purpose do you think they were using the airplane?



14. Knowing what little you may know about spy satellites, what do you think Iraq was hiding using the tunnel-digging equipment they bought from the French some 5 years ago?



15. Why do you think Iraq had a 'Higher Committee for Monitoring the Inspection Teams' headed by Hussein's Vice-President, and son, Qusay?



16. The fact that Iraq trained experts to foil UN weapons inspectors is documented not just by U.S. intelligence organizations, but also by those of many other countries. Why do you think Iraq needed to use these tactics, if George W. Bush is lying?



17. In 1995, Iraq admitted it had biological weapons. They declared they had, for example, 8500 liters of anthrax. Where did they all go? If Iraq destroyed them, why would there be any need for more UN resolutions after that?



18. When do you think Iraq abandoned their existing Weapons of Mass Destruction program? What do you think was their motivation for abandoning it- the 17th time the UN said 'pretty please', or the fact that it was spending too much money that could be used for social programs to improve the lives of Iraqi citizens?



19. Do you think the bio-weapons lab vehicles found in Iraq were being used as lunch wagons, or as mobile auto detail trucks?



20. If a terrorist organization attacked America tomorrow by spraying anthrax over a large city, would you blame George W. Bush for not doing enough?



21. Would Hillary?



22. How many minutes after the attack do you think it would take for Hillary to appear on CNN?



23. If an illegal U.S. president declares an illegal war, wouldn't the two cancel each other out?



Bonus Question: Do you think O.J. killed Ron and Nicole, or was he the victim of a massive conspiracy to plant evidence by many separate divisions of the LAPD?

  1. How about the 3 thousand people which were killed on 9-11. He recieved warnings from other countries and memosfrom the FBI of possible terrorist attacks using airplanes to crash into buildings; and did nothing to prevent their death. How about the tens of thousands of inocent civilians murdered durring shock and awfull and the bombing of Afganastan.



  2. The mass graves you speak of were created right around the time Rummy was in Bagdahd to shake Sadams hand and the state department was taking Iraq off the terrorist list.



  3. Whats that got to do with anything? Is that a reason to go to war?



  4. Scud Missles were not banned by the UN sanctions. Only missles with flew beyond a certain range.



  5. how come none of Iraqs neighbors were concerned about these flying pipe bombs. Give me a break



  6. Again he was allowed to have some missles for self defense, Its laughable to actually call these scuds missles.



  7. The inspectors destroyed 90 percent of the weapons after the first gulf war which is why they still haven't found any.



  8. He actually was in compliance Just because he couldn't show documentaion for a few of the destroyed weapons doesn't mean he still has them. Thats like saying well unless you can prove your innocent I guess your guilty, I'm glad our courts don't work that way.



  9. Because like daddy Bush, Clinton didn't invade and then illegaly occupy Iraq

  10. Because he hasn't planted any yet. He's not gonna commite poltical suicied getting caught doing something like that, besides 70 percent of the American public get their news from FOX so they still believe Sadam was involved with 9-11 so why would he need to plant weapons.

  11. We can't find Sadam because most Arabs hate us more then Sadam

  12. NO

  13. You idiot Sadam had no control of the North

  14. Maybe your butt!

  15. Well what kind of monitors do you think we'd have if inspectors were crawling around our bases.

  16. Sure they tried to foil the inspectors nobody wants to get rid of their weapons, its a painfull process, Scott Ritter has said this, but the fact remains they did their job and destroyed 90 percent of the weapons.

  17. They did destroy them and infact most were accounted for, besides that most of these these agents have a shelf life if not kept in prestine conditions and would be no good any way

  18. Iraq abanded its weapons programs after the inspectors were pulled out and Bombed by Clinton a second time. After the first gulf war and 10 years of sanctions they couldn't even chlorinate their water let alone build any weapons.

  19. The Bio Weapons labs were an artist's painting and never proven to exsist. Some captured scientist will say exactly what Bush and Cheny want to heae to get their new house and citizenship in the US. Where are these labs why haven't they found them yet

  20. No but you would blame Hillary

  21. No but you would blame her

  22. People want a trusted voice of reason, but the right wing Generals would come on before her

  23. No becuase legally he is the president.

post fact justifications

by more rational Monday, Dec. 15, 2003 at 8:18 AM

The justifications for war were weak and suspect:

* an al Qaeda link to Iraq

* nuclear threat

* imminent chemical weapon threat

Prior to war, the "Saddam is a bad guy" argument wasn't at all compelling to the American public, so more compelling evidence was presented. That evidence was false.

The problem, therefore, is understanding why suspicious evidence was given so much credence. I'm not qualified to evaluate why, but, usually, the reasons are economic, and sometimes, ideological.

Nonanarchist, if you are suspicious that your pet dog is cheating on you, so you launch a pre-emptive strike, and beat her ass, then later find out that, indeed, she *is* cheating on you and having sex with another man, you are not justified in your actions. The evidence was not there prior to your taking action.

I think everyone understands this.

Sorry, wrong answers.

But thanks for playing!

And as a consolation prize, you get an autographed "Iraqi Most Wanted" Ace of Spades, with the word "Captured" stamped on it.

Better luck next time!

"The justifications for war were weak and suspect: "

9-11 was the ultimate justification for war. Using Iraq as a convenient landing point for our military in the islamofascist middle east is strategic reason enough.

That's all. Toppling and capturing Saddam is a very sweet icing on the cake, but a base of heavy handed military operations near Syria, Iran and any other terrorist enclaves is, of course, the real reason to be there.

the reason to bear arms

by more rational Monday, Dec. 15, 2003 at 11:29 PM

The spirit of the 2nd amendment applies here, I think.

I sense that this is the start of a 3rd world arms race to get nuclear arms, to keep the US from invading and imposing a police state on their soil.

They want their right to bear nuclear arms.

Unfortunately for them

by fresca564 Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2003 at 1:14 AM

"They want their right to bear nuclear arms."

Too bad. They don't have that right. They are much too unevolved to handle such responsibility.

Think they might be able to get them anyway? Take a look at Iraq.
