Weapons of Mass Destruction- Where Are They?
(part of an online convo between two graduate students)
Bluestar [11:19 AM]: Here's the question: If we assume that WMD's in Iraq don't exist cause we haven't found them can we assume that Saddam and OBL don't exist also? A thought more than a question answer if you like.
Redmoon [11:21 AM]: Well We KNOW for a fact that Saddam and OBL exist because we have proof. We have seen them. People have met with them. On the other hand WMD may have existed, they may have ben dewstroyed, we just have no proof. The sad poart is that if they do exist and we can't find them then now we might be in a far worse situation than before.
Bluestar [11:23 AM]: Good answer but not THE answer. If a picture is proof, like those we have of OBL and Saddam, then Powell's pictures are proof enough.
Redmoon [11:23 AM]: No those were not proof
Bluestar [11:23 AM]: neither are the pictures of OBL and Saddam
Redmoon [11:23 AM]: those were aerial pics of alleged labs
Redmoon [11:24 AM]: No Dan Rather sat and spoke with Saddam, and we have known of OBL for years...
Bluestar [11:24 AM]: Dan Rather! He's credible?
Redmoon [11:25 AM]: We have NEVER seen actual pics of biological weapons, nerve gas etc. We have seen gas masks and then we get to the conclusion that they have nerve gas
Bluestar [11:25 AM]: Question: Do you think the US really landed on the moon in 69?
Redmoon [11:25 AM]: Well yes he is........ I am sure the that the one hour interview shown to the nation was not a fake
Bluestar [11:26 AM]: so you believe the white journalist but not the white president?
Redmoon [11:26 AM]: I do not know when the US landed on the moon.....LOL
Redmoon [11:27 AM]: It's not a matter of believing a wht journalist over a wht president
Bluestar [11:27 AM]: July 20th 1969 but it could be faked lol
Redmoon [11:27 AM]: The President works off info the Intel Agencies provide him
Redmoon [11:27 AM]: Plus he wanted war from his first day in office
Bluestar [11:27 AM]: and the journalist?
Bluestar [11:28 AM]: he's looking for new and creative ways to shape thinking through his medium
Redmoon [11:28 AM]: the journalist sat face to face with him.......
Bluestar [11:28 AM]: or a double lol
Bluestar [11:28 AM]: or a blue screen lol
Redmoon [11:28 AM]: Ok I understand the point u r trying to make............ Could be a double........ But "Saddam" exists
Redmoon [11:29 AM]: and OBL also
Bluestar [11:29 AM]: but WMD's don't because we haven't seen them
Redmoon [11:29 AM]: It's not a matter of seeing them
Redmoon [11:30 AM]: It's a matter that we went to war over weapons that might have been destroyed
Bluestar [11:30 AM]: that's what you implied by "evidence" or are you talking about a mushroom cloud or people dying of nerve agents?
Redmoon [11:30 AM]: that may noy have existed
Redmoon [11:30 AM]: and we will paying billions for that
Bluestar [11:31 AM]: time machine question: it's 1939. Hitler may or may not invade Poland. You...
Redmoon [11:31 AM]: The bottom line is that we have to find them for us to be credible
Redmoon [11:31 AM]: u deal with hypos a lot....... We don't live in a hypo world
Bluestar [11:32 AM]: and the fact that we would not be perceived as credible will make foreign banks stop taking our money RIGHT? LOL
Bluestar [11:32 AM]: my only hypo is the Hitler one lol
Redmoon [11:33 AM]: no. but what does that have to do with anything
Redmoon [11:33 AM]: they will always take our money
Bluestar [11:33 AM]: why is "credibility" important in foreign policy it hasn't been all this time
Redmoon [11:33 AM]: In the bigger pic of life we live in a global society and a time will come when we can't do something by ourselves
Redmoon [11:33 AM]: and need friends or alies
Redmoon [11:34 AM]: Well when North K decides to take a preemptive strike because it feels threatened you will understand
Bluestar [11:34 AM]: like britain...or france or I KNOW... GERMANY!
Bluestar [11:35 AM]: North K? Do we have "evidence" that they have a weapon?
Redmoon [11:35 AM]: It's the implications........ We have a world order and we have to act within it regardless of us being the only remaining military superpower
Bluestar [11:35 AM]: implications? You know who you sound like?
Redmoon [11:35 AM]: I sound like myself
Redmoon [11:35 AM]: LOL
Bluestar [11:35 AM]: dubya!
Redmoon [11:36 AM]: LOL
Bluestar [11:36 AM]: where are you at man. I'm in RI and there is such a dearth of black intellectualism here
Redmoon [11:36 AM]: Well it's good that you believe that there are WMD. I just want us to find them.
Bluestar [11:37 AM]: You see i'm starved for the convo. It's been fantastic chattin wit ya
Redmoon [11:37 AM]: LOL -- Same here
