Geez DS you didn't know that the DC protests were because of the anniversary of OIF and had nothing to do with protesting 0bama? Really?
Really? Well according to you they just dont protest anymore because Obama is pres now.. Why would they protest it if a dem is in power now?
Have you seen the signs at the protest?
Have you seen the protests of people protesting against the increase of troops in Afghanistan?
What about the other protests?
What about the WikiLeaks protests? Or the Anti-Gitmo protests?
Piracy is a crime and has been for centuries.
Why is it not terrorism?
Why did they get a trial in America and given constitutional rights?
My sister is terrorized by aggressive drivers but that doesn't make them terrorists.
:doh:doh
You can think, feel or believe anything you want. Doesn't make it true.

Not long ago that was considered "cherry-picking' the intelligence.
Not cherry picking. You can also say you are cherry picking.
Read the entire report. It's full of evidence that Saddam had every intention of restarting his semi-dormant WMD programs once sanctions were lifted.
First off that is not a sustainable amoutn of biological weapons. According to The Commission of the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction (CICUSRWMD), a presidential committee led by co-chairs Laurence Silberman and Charles Robb, stated in its Mar. 31, 2005 report:
"Extensive post-war investigations were carried out by the Iraqi Survey Group (ISG). The ISG found no evidence that Iraq had tried to reconstitute its capability to produce nuclear weapons after 1991; no evidence of biological weapon (BW) agent stockpiles or of mobile biological weapons production facilities; and no substantial chemical warfare (CW) stockpiles or credible indications that Baghdad had resumed production of CW after 1991."
According to David Kay, PhD, former head of the Iraq Survey Group (ISG), in a Jan. 28, 2004 hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee on the subject of "Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction Programs," stated:
"SEN. BEN NELSON: All right. You know, you have indicated that you found no evidence of existing stockpiles of WMDs. Is it possible that they found their way to Syria? Is there any way of knowing whether they found their way to Syria or to another location?
MR. KAY: In terms of possibility, I mean, you can't rule out anything. The way I tried to direct our activities, I knew we were not going to get permission to conduct inspections in Syria, as much as I would professionally and personally have enjoyed it. I also knew that the intelligence we collected that showed movement of material across the Iraq-Syrian border didn't show what was in the containers.
So you try to answer that question by saying was there something to be moved back across the border? Look at production capability. It's totally inadequate for saying did they move small amounts, did they move technology, did they move documentation -- absolutely possible; I would say probable. But my personal belief is that they did not move large stockpiles, because I do not believe they had reconstituted a capability that had produced large stockpiles. So that's how you get at it...
My belief that they did not move large stockpiles of WMD to Syria is based on my conclusion that there were not large stockpiles to move..."
Ever heard of the WTC in 1993? Somalia?
Yea thanks for proving my point. It was Osama.
