Why does the Right post facts and the Left post innuendo and fallacies

[warlockjd]

In nearly all these arguments, particularly the Vietnam thread, the Right posts facts with multiple link references, and the Left posts unprovable theories by Michael Moore and other pundits?

Why is this?

Discuss.

Probably because Iraq has WMD's.

-500 tons (1 million pounds) of yellow cake uranium. Found at Saddam's nuclear weapons facility.

-1.8 tons of partially enriched uranium found at Saddam's nuclear weapons facility.

-Hidden centrifuge parts and blueprints.

-Two dozen artillery shells (found) loaded with Sarin and mustard gas.

This in the hands of a man who during Gulf War I was lobbing scud missles into Israel in an effor to draw them into the conflict and start a regional war.

Repeat after me, "No WMD here. Move along. Nothing to see. No WMD here."

Your article does not support your claims whatsoever.

"In 1992, after the first Gulf War, all highly enriched uranium — which could be used to make nuclear weapons — was shipped from Iraq to Russia, the IAEA's Zlauvinen said.

After 1992, roughly 2 tons of natural uranium, or yellow cake, some low enriched uranium and some depleted uranium was left at Tuwaitha under IAEA seal and control, he said.

So were radioactive items used for medical, agricultural and industrial purposes, which Iraq was allowed to keep under a 1991 U.N. Security Council resolution, Zlauvinen said.

IAEA inspectors left Iraq just before last year's U.S.-led war. After it ended, Washington barred U.N. weapons inspectors from returning, deploying U.S. teams instead in a search for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. That search has been unsuccessful so far."


The question has never been whether there was yellow-cake under IAEA control in Iraq, but whether Saddam was making or holding other WMD. This is why the article straight-forwardly stays that search for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction has been unsuccessful.

Is this a joke?

A. Iraq has large natural reserves of yellowcake uranium. It had yellowcake uranium mines, monitored by UNSCOM. So that it "had" yellowcake uranium is neither a surprise nor evidence against it.
B. Noone suggests it had the technology to convert yellowcake uranium into weapons grade uranium. Indeed, yallowcake uranium is pretty much useless as far as making a nulear bomb goes.

"1.8 tons of partially enriched uranium found at Saddam's nuclear weapons facility. "

Tell us more. The ISG reported that all nuclear weapons research had been completely shut down years before.

"Two dozen artillery shells (found) loaded with Sarin and mustard gas. "

Loaded with expired sarin and mustard gas, and shells that even the team sent by the Bush adminsitration to look for WMDs admitted were misplaced, unknown to the regime and useless.

It's honestly pathetic how some will try to pretend that real WMD or active WMD programmes were found; give it up for goodness sake. At least the arguments about how it was all justified under UN resolutions even if he didn't actually have WMD, though wrong, don't make you look like delusional children.
