Europe Union Finds Bugging of Offices of 5 Nations

Sure, weapon inspections might have turned them up. . .And they then they might. Hell, as long as we're considering it, if we hadn't gone to war, Saddam might never have even used them. He's gotten old, gained weight, and looked as though he was even becoming more docile - though still far from it.

But thats just speculation. Its evident now, if the reports are substantiated, that he was in material breach all the same. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm of the mind that you don't stockpile weapons for the fun of it. They are expensive and possess a short shelflife. A few decades and they become a waste of money. I have to assume he was going to use them at some point.

Did he not come clean with this a few weeks ago in regards to the missiles already in breach? Are these missiles your justification for a war?

Look at how successful they were in 1991 (the SCUDS, I mean). Hell, look at how successful they were even TODAY. I think a dictator with a puny army in fact DOES stockpile weapons, what else does he have??? In fact, if he IS in breach of all we have accused him of, and he is thus showing defiance by using the SCUDs, why not bring 'em all out?? Hell, he's a goner, he knows it. Why not unleash the nukes and the other WMD...?
