Aaron Brown: We saw at the top of the program there is new information to factor in. Pretty conclusive to our eye. So we'll sort through this now. Take the politics out of it and try and deal with facts with former head UN weapons inspector, US weapons inspector, David Kay. David, it’s nice to see you. David Kay: Good to be with you, Aaron.
AB: I don't know how better to do this than to show you some pictures have you explain to me what they are or are not. Okay? First what I’ll just call the seal. And tell me if this is an IAEA seal on that bunker at that munitions dump?
DK: Aaron, about as certain as I can be looking at a picture, not physically holding it which, obviously, I would have preferred to have been there, that is an IAEA seal. I've never seen anything else in Iraq in about 15 years of being in Iraq and around Iraq that was other than an IAEA seal of that shape.
AB: Was there anything else at the facility that would have been under IAEA seal?
DK: Absolutely nothing. It was the HMX, RDX, the two high explosives.
AB: OK now, I’ll take a look at barrels here for a second. You can tell me what they tell you. They, obviously, to us just show us a bunch of barrels. You'll see it somewhat differently.
DK: Well, it's interesting. There were three foreign suppliers to Iraq of this explosive in the 1980s. One of them used barrels like this, and inside the barrels a bag. HMX is in powder form because you actually use it to shape a spherical lens that is used to create the triggering device for nuclear weapons. And particularly on the videotape, which is actually better than the still photos, as the soldier dips into it, that's either HMX or RDX. I don't know of anything else in al Qaqaa that was in that form.
AB: Let me ask you then, David, the question I asked Jamie. In regard to the dispute about whether that stuff was there when the Americans arrived, is it game, set, match? Is that part of the argument now over?
DK: Well, at least with regard to this one bunker, and the film shows one seal, one bunker, one group of soldiers going through, and there were others there that were sealed. With this one, I think it is game, set, and match. There was HMX, RDX in there. The seal was broken. And quite frankly, to me the most frightening thing is not only was the seal broken, lock broken, but the soldiers left after opening it up. I mean, to rephrase the so-called pottery barn rule. If you open an arms bunker, you own it. You have to provide security.
AB: I'm -- that raises a number of questions. Let me throw out one. It suggests that maybe they just didn't know what they had?
DK: I think you're quite likely they didn't know they had HMX, which speaks to lack of intelligence given troops moving through that area, but they certainly knew they had explosives. And to put this in context, I think it's important, this loss of 360 tons, but Iraq is awash with tens of thousands of tons of explosives right now in the hands of insurgents because we did not provide the security when we took over the country.
AB: Could you -- I’m trying to stay out of the realm of politics. I'm not sure you can.
DK: So am I.
AB: I know. It's a little tricky here. But, is there any -- is there any reason not to have anticipated the fact that there would be bunkers like this, explosives like this, and a need to secure them?
DK: Absolutely not. For example, al Qaqaa was a site of Gerald Bull's super gun project. It was a team of mine that discovered the HMX originally in 1991. That was one of the most well-documented explosive sites in all of Iraq. The other 80 or so major ammunition storage points were also well documented. Iraq had, and it's a frightening number, two-thirds of the total conventional explosives that the US has in its entire inventory. The country was an armed camp.
AB: David, as quickly as you can, because this just came up in the last hour, as dangerous as this stuff is, this would not be described as a WMD, correct?
DK: Oh absolutely not.
AB: Thank you.
DK: And, in fact, the loss of it is not a proliferation issue.
AB: Okay. It's just dangerous and its out there and by your thinking it should have been secured.
DK: Well look, it was used to bring the Pan Am flight down. It's a very dangerous explosive, particularly in the hands of terrorists.
AB: David, thank you for walking me through this. I appreciate it, David Kay the former head US weapons inspector in Iraq
Note that Aaron shows David Kay a video of an IAEA seal on a bunker and gets him to agree that it is an IAEA seal. Then he asks what else would be behined an IAEA seal. Kay of course says it could only be RDX and HMX. Then he shows pictures of some barrels of explosives, and gets David Kay to make the leap that that is HMX or RDX.
However, the video that these pictures were taken from (http://kstp.dayport.com/viewer/content/special.php?Art_ID=159670&Format_ID=2&BitRate_ID=8&Contract_ID=712&Obj_ID=3) tell you that they searched one bunker that was not under IAEA seal and then looked at another bunker with an IAEA seal that they were not able to get into (due to the IAEA seal and lock). The soldier does climb halfway into a vent on the IAEA bunker, but never says what he sees, if anything.
So, CNN had to know that the barrels they were showing were from a different bunker than the one with the IAEA seal.
David Kay also had to know that the barrels were from a different bunker, because he admitted to watching the video (saying how it was clearer in the video than the snaphosts).
David Kay, as a weapons inspector, has to know that the explosives label 1.1D covers about 70 different explosives, including gun powder. Thus he has to know that he cannot make an absolute statement that it was either HMX or RDX.
The key to this story would be for some reporter who is actually interested in reporting to ask:
I'm having a little trouble following you, but I hope you're right that Kaye has been misled in some way. I'd like to see this boiled down to a simple sound bite or talking point that we can deploy over the weekend. Tuesday can't come fast enough. Luckily I don't think many average voters are paying close attention to this one -- just more campaign noise.
What??? I thought for a fleeting moment that Marshall -- the anti-Taranto -- had an ethics attack that caused him to set aside his 'rat status in the interest of truthful journalism.
Not good form, lobster.

and http://wizbangblog.com/archives/004107.php
although this one is good too:
sorry, it's just the first place I could find the transcript.
Also "this would not be described as a WMD, correct? "
As an American to be on the receiving end of what the stuff was to become: SADDAM'S ARAB NUCLEAR BOMB I find disagreement to that statement. Same with all the computers, CNC machines and switches used fro nuclear device construction. It is ALL WMD! And Americans were the target! Be glad Saddam doesn't have this stuff - he started in the 70's
An IAEA tag was used for sealing only the HMX/RDX I thought.
All explosives will be listed as Class 1. In addition, they will have a division number, a compatibility number, a UN number and a proper shipping name. Typical explosives for demining can be as follows:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Table 4: Classification of typical explosives for demining. |
The IAEA tag was only on a bunker they didn't go into. And the explosives were only in the bunker they did go into, which was not an IAEA bunker.
Yes, but the question is whether or not those barrels in the video were being stored inside a bunker that was sealed by the IAEA... after watching the video, when they start cutting the chain, you can clearly see that there is no IAEA seal on the door.
This reporter passed off the video of the barrels as being inside a bunker that was sealed by the IAEA, when in fact, the bunker they were stored in was not sealed at all. A simple and trivial deception.
That is what I saw and that is NOT what we are looking for.
The stuff we want is raw bulk containers full of powder. It would not be in individually wrapped packaging.
My guess would be more processed explosives like the mining boosters and charges.
The IAEA can verify this, but I doubt they will. (since they started this BS)

I want to see two things: IAEA video of the inventory and classified US satellite imagery of those convoys moving WMD to Syria.
If Saddam left the RDX/HDX in the bunkers, then what did the Heavy Trucks in the satellite photos take away? If I were Saddam, I would have taken away the WMDs first.
For whatever it's worth, Sodium dinitro-o-cresolate, UN number 0234, is not only an explosive, but used as a Russian herbicide.
Hey! What # did the American troops inspecting those barrels write in that photo?
The captainsquaters covers this well I think.

The NYT article based on the ABC video admits, after about 15 paragraphs, that they can't even comfirm this was Qa Qaa. This whole story is as biased as the rest of the explosives information from the left. In other words, unproven. Kerry thinks that he should be able to say what he wants and the President should have to prove it isn't true. He said that today!! What jerks...anyway read the article on Captains Quarters and see what you think...
That's odd that nobody's asked what % of the total stuff at Al=QaQaa has been blown up. 240,000 tons destryed in Iraq, but somehow we know that the 377 tons (or) 240 or 180 or 3 or whatever were NOT destroyed. How can McKay be so sure? Why doesn't he say?
