"On your own soil? Who the fuck would do that? Oh wait, Saddam, thats right. My arguement is that, the *SECOND* they deploy their first weapon, the war is over. Done. Finished. America won. The United States pulls every troop out of Iraq and we have shown the entire world we were 100% on point with our accusationsand now we can take action with the help of every other U.N. affiliated country in this world. Saddam might be evil, atrocious, without heart, but he is not completely stupid. If he uses weapons then he is done, not another chance for him whatsoever."
Come on man it's not like he is launching a nuke on his own soil. Only I or the Presidents of the United states would do that. The *SECOND* america decided to go in the war was over. Done. Finished. The united states has found NOTHING so far and right now it seems they are 100% wrong. Saddam didn't use weapons and he is done, with no chance of ever getting back in power. Why not go out with a bang? You're already being invaded, your sons have been killed, your generals and comrades captured or killed and your resources are becoming scarce.
If America says "SADDAM HAD NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION WE HAD INCORRECT INFO" where does that leave america?
"Because if this war is entirely about WMD, and that is the complete basis of the invasion which was true, then it would certainly favor Saddam to destroy/hide them and let America invade and find absolutely NOTHING. As far as Saddam might be concerned this would put a nail in America's coffin."
I would agree with this IF he (he meaning his army/iraq) didn't fight back. If he stood his ground, stayed at his palace and commanded his troops to NOT return fire or engage in conflict you would have a point. THAT would put the nail in america's coffin. He didn't do that. He engaged in war and when it's war you're going to use ANY weapons you have. When you are combating an enemy and you're out gunned/out manned you're going to use ANY weapon or tactic you can. I'm telling you right now if I were an iraqi soldier and I knew were weapons of mass destruction were (which i doubt they have) I would try to use them.
"Because you could pull the sheets off the "great satan" revealing him to the world."
You can do a better job by NOT fighting back.
"Pretty smart, huh? It's perfect!
Saddam didn't have the United Nations watching him through a magnifying glass when he tortured and killed his own people. We might never really know what was on Saddam's agenda when the invasion started,"
He was being watched. Come on man that was one of the MAIN complaints against him. As far as him killing his own people thats up for debate.
"but I know some of the things he was thinking."
You assume. It's no way in hell you knew what saddam was thinking. That cat could have been thinking about snorting a line elvis. He could have been thinking about God. He could have been thinking about raping his son. He could have been thinking about petting a tiger. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS IN HIS HEAD!
"You have the entire world focused on this single invasion, world power nations, the united nations, neighboring countries, terrorist groups, etc. They are all watching to see if America finds these so called weapons of mass destruction to which the presence of them is allegedly defenitive. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. Thats what it's all about. Now if I'm the leader of that country, and I have the U.N. breathing down my neck trying to uncover these weapons, do I:"
America went against U.N. regulations by going to war. EVEN IF SADDAM HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION THAT DOES NOT GIVE AMERICA THE RIGHT TO INVADE. AMERICA WAS TO GO TO WAR FOR 3 REASONS:
1. MANDATE BY THE U.N.
2.IMMINENT THREAT. IMMINENT THREAT HAS BEEN DEFINED AS "CLOSE TO IMPACT" OR ABOUT TO HIT/ON IT'S WAY. IN THAT CASE AMERICA CAN RETURN FIRE (MOST LIKELY A SHIT LOAD OF NUKES WOULD BE LAUNCHED).
3. I'LL LET YOU FIGURE THIS ONE OUT.
"1. Use them on the invasion.
2. Hide/Destroy them so the "reason" of the war proves 100% false. Thus directing the audience (a few billion strong) on to the United States."
If you have them you USE them You're already in violation and these fools aren't coming to play candyland or monopoloy. They came to KILL saddam.
If you DON'T have them DON'T fire back. You have shown the world that you let an army come through,check for weapons, you didn't kill anyone and you didn't place your people in harms way. By doing this you reserve manpower and ammo.
"To me the question is not that hard to answer. Now remember this before anyone post's in reply. I am *NOT* telling you this is what happened, I am offering you a perspective on things, one that I think is completely rational."
I understand. I don't believe it's rational.
