No one can prove that Saddam does not have nuke/chem/bio weapons. Even if he never uses them against US troops. Maybe the elves are moving them when no one is looking. The only thing you CAN prove is that he has them and the easiest way to prove this is when HE uses them. Brand's comment about planting them, is not proved either, he is just guessing that the US troops will plant them. If I told you, today, what the next winning lottery number would be. And I told you that I was predicting it. And I was right. That would still be just a "guess" to you, wouldn't it? When the facts don't match your world-view, then those facts are wrong. The winning lottery number. Over a week in advance. As a public prediction. You still don't get it, do you? Do you have any idea how many individual, distinct events had to happen so my prediction would be accurate? If one were to listen to you and Marlowe... #1. An advance strike kills Saddam (how did I know there'd be an advance strike?) #2. Saddam had, previously, ordered all the chemicals removed from the warheads (how did I know that the warheads would be empty?) #3. The initial strikes take out the chemical weapons without causing any chemical hazards (how did I know that the rounds would be safe but that the weapons would be vulnerable?) And so on. If one were to listen to you and Marlowe, I'd have to have guessed right OVER and OVER and OVER. Any single error and my prediction would have been proven wrong.

You are working very hard to make it come true. In case you forgot, here it is.

I made that knowing you will prove it out for me. You are already intimating that anything found after the war will not be accepted as proof so my prediction WILL come true, yours MIGHT. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] questions, help?

Post #92,716 by Brandioch 3/28/03 11:33:33 PM Reply	Incorrect (as usual), Saddam can launch a chem attack. That would be "proof" that I couldn't deny. So, as long as my prediction is 100% accurate, you can say that I won't accept any "proof" that counters it. Once again, Saddam will NOT use any nuke/chem/bio weapons. The reason for this is because he does NOT have them. So, to counter my prediction, all that has to happen is for Saddam to USE them. And you find this concept too difficult to comprehend? You are already intimating that anything found after the war will not be accepted as proof so my prediction WILL come true, yours MIGHT. Incorrect. If my prediction does NOT come true, then that means that Saddam will have used nuke/chem/bio weapons. As such was the "proof" needed to disprove my prediction, your prediction would, likewise, be disproven. So, if my prediction is correct, so is your's. -and- If my prediction is proven false, so is your's. In other words, your "prediction" is a derivative of my prediction. Original thought isn't big in your family, is it?

Post #92,814 by Brandioch 3/29/03 12:24:01 PM Reply	Your sense of self-importance is vastly over rated. So, a prediction is a "guess". Believe whatever you want to. One of us can predict how this war will unfold. One of us cannot even "guess" at it but merely offer excuses on why things happen. I have done what you cannot do and you still refuse to accept the facts.

Provide some examples. Maybe I can figure out what you are yammering about. What did you do that I could not do?

Your best guess is as good as mine. In your dreams, maybe. Here, let me [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=92922\|link] you to your own stupidity. I am still learning about this conflict, and I am trying to learn the facts and keep the fluff out of it. But your guess is as good as mine? hahahahhahahahahahaha Maybe to YOU it is. Meanwhile, I can predict (with 100% accuracy) how this war will unfold. You cannot. But your guess is as good as mine. hahahahahahahahahaha Go ahead. "Guess" when Saddam will use nuke/chem/bio weapons. "Guess" what the Iraqi's next battlefield tactic will be. ahahahhahahahahahahahaha I am a GOD!
