Yes, that's right, I can incontrovertibly prove that Saddam Hussein
not only possessed weapons of mass destruction, but that he
consistently ordered and was aware of their use against the Iranians
during the 1980-88 Iran/Iraq war, and that he routinely used these
weapons of mass destruction in plain view of the international
community. Saddam Hussein had rocket propelled grenades. I don't
understand why the international community even bothers asking
questions about mobile bioweapons labs that never materialized; the
real danger was in Saddam passing along RPGs to Al-Qaeda.
Now, I don't know why the US government has suddenly decided to
classify RPGs as weapons of mass destruction, but the very
classification itself strikes me as a deliberate attempt by the
Washington Establishment to dilute the English language, obfuscate
history for future generations, and disgrace the memories of the
brave men and women in uniform who died in a misguided pursuit to
eliminate Saddam's supposed arsenal of unconventional weapons, ie.
biological and chemical.
The Al-Nusra fighters in Syria are indeed Sunni terrorists; they are
after all a natural response to the Shia militias that Petraus and
his counterinsurgency expert Steele unleashed upon Sunni insurgents
following the fall of Saddam. Mr. Eric Harroun, a former American
soldier, decided to go out of his way to join Al-Nusra in Syria,
posing in many pictures. As he went out of his way, it was his
responsibility to investigate who he was rendering services to and as
a result must pay the price, but for the Obama justice department to
accuse Mr. Harroun of “conspiring to use a weapon of mass
destruction” only serves to perpetuate Bush-era policies in an even
more nefarious way.
The American people were lied to; plain and simple. We were told that
Saddam needed to be eliminated for possessing unconventional weapons.
Would the American people have consented to the invasion of Iraq if
we'd been told that Saddam was thinking of giving out RPGs to
terrorists? By the very same definition, we are guilty of arming
countless paramilitary groups and death squads from Nicaragua to
Cambodia with weapons of mass destruction.
We armed the Taliban with weapons of mass destruction before they
were the Taliban – when Osama was our Soviet-hating comrade. And
speaking of Taliban, does anyone remember the big bad wolf from the
early years of the war on terror, the American Taliban John Lindh?
Well, he was convicted – in a civilian court, not Guantanamo – of
“aiding the Taliban” and of “carrying an explosive during the
commission of a felony.” Had John Lindh been convicted under this
administration, he likely would have been charged with carrying a
weapon of mass destruction in support of a terrorist group.
Using a weapon of mass destruction is a crime for any US national. If tomorrow the Dominican government starts putting Haitians in concentration camps and I decide to go and kick some ass with an RPG, the US government could go after me for using weapons of mass destruction.
