some of you people amaze me! i was in the first gulf war and was an NBC NCO. what do you think caused gulf war syndrom? what? you think our troops inhaled to much sand, or maybe it was breathing in all that smoke from the oil wells saddam set on fire? the monster had and still had WMD. you are not gonna find a huge warehouse full of these things. one small vile poured into the water system of Detroit could kill hundredes of thousands of people. some of these wonderful weapons only need to be inhaled into your lungs and your a dead man. ww are talking the size of a tip of a sewing needle. and what was it saddam used to kill all those hundreds of thousands of kurds with? guess you probably think it was laughing gas. he had bunkers the size of small towns buried beneath the desert over there. plus the fact that he had 8yrs to hide his entire supply of these WMD'S didnt hurt his cause either. if the US government and the United Nations had done their job from the beginning this stupid war would not be going on right now. even lybia has turned over there weapons arsenal because of what president Bush did to iraq. go and rent or buy yourself a copy of CNN AMERICA REMEMBERS and go to the special features section and watch Bush's speech to the nation after 9-11 . the man has kept his word on everything he has said concerning this war. put your stupid political games and retoric aside and listen to the truth for a change. if our intelligence was wrong, than so was everyone else's. between Carter and Clinton our military was just about destroyed. if it hadnt been for men such as Reagan, Bush Sr. and our current president we would probably already be in a civil war right here in the US on our on soil. now you go on believing what you wish, that is your right, but i am speaking from experiance here. 10yrs of my life i gave to my country trying to protect her from enemies foreign and domestic.......
