It was very interesting in the link you have given to read: "...Before the war, the Bush administration warned that Iraq might have 25,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent, and upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents. So far, these estimates have fallen short by exactly 25,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent, and 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents..." It basically claims that Saddam Hussein posessed none of these agents?? Perhaps if you look at the link I provided earlier you will see why!! (http://www.kdp.pp.se/chemical.html) In relation to who I voted for, I voted Labour and I did so due to the fact that I believe what they have done for this country since coming to power is phenomenal! I think that it is unfair to suggest that all people who are posting to this site are concerned about is Christie Hospital. The way in which Mr Leech used it for his own political gain annoyed the hell out of me and I see it as an issue to be addressed. That doesn't mean that I think the issue of Iraq pales into insignificance in light of this. All of your facts and figures seem to be American based and I have never claimed myself to be a big fan of Republican America. I don't stand behind the flag of the United States as you think that all Labour supporters do. I happen to think that our governments involvement in Iraq has been the right course of action, however, although at present I feel the UN to be inefectual, I would have preferred to wait for the second resolution before declaring war. You mention in your posting how the French and German governments refused to back the war. How noble of them!! Perhaps what is not so noble is their attempts to gain a 'piece of the pie' now that the fighting is done. As usual they are fighting for a place at the table in Iraq because they want to benefit from the lucrative business possibilities that have opened up now Saddam Hussein has gone. No suprise there then, always the same with the French they give up the second someone points a gun at them and then when the figting has been done for them they are back at the table asking what can I have? Current discussions in Europe are another prime example of that where curently a French cow is given more in subsidy per day than a starving child in Africa could ever dream of having So lets not put our fellow Europeans on a pedestal as they are just as invloved with Iraq as we are, they just didn't want to get their hands dirty.
