C) The range of this weapons is so small that it poses no danger to the U.S. at all. The only danger it poses to are the U.S. Troops stationed there, who really shouldn't even be there.


D) Have they found any WMDs that posed any kind of danger to the U.S.? Nope.
Ok I got halfway through the first page and this made me go .Ok so which is it? Did they find WMD's are not. Sorry but I really don't see the relevance whether they were constructed before the gulf war or after. A WMD is a WMD. PERIOD. And weapons are mobile. What was to stop Saddam from doing what the Soviet Union did during the 60's and just move the things in range. It's funny how people say this war is fruitless simply because they watch the news. I have had friends that have gone over there and said both positive and negative things about the war. Also I love how the mainstream media missed out on how we have now acheived 12 of the 17 or however many objectives they have over there. The press is always guaranteed to do one thing spin negatively. Which is why frankly I don't watch it that much anymore.
