Isn’t that an admission that there were chemical weapons there but, we concealed that fact, for operational and security reasons?
Simply. Yes.
Wonder if this has anything to do with the looney Dr Meryl Nass who went on a rampage trying to [falsely] charge a bioweapons researcher back in the Amerithrax investigations after 9/11... she was big into Gulf War Syndrome and the far left.
Pretty much.
They were concealed for political reasons. No one is really sure why.
The photo is of impact fuses. Doesn’t tell us much.

Not revealing the presence of WMDs was intentional or it was accidental.
It was with good reasons or it was with spurious reasons.
I vote for intentional and spurious.
My understanding is that Saddam did not color-code his munitions. Hence, the Incident at Kamisayah in ‘91 and no doubt others (smaller ones) in later years involving detonation of individual projectiles as opposed to massive storage facilities.
There was a deliberate decision to coverup the WMDs. This wasn’t for operational reasons. The Iraqi’s knew what they had, the troops knew what they had, our enemy knew what was there. Only the public didn’t know for sure.
To deny medical care for troops exposed to these weapons for political reasons was and is criminal.
“Clearly, there were no weapons of mass destruction.” or “We know now there was no WMD.” “There is indisputable evidence of global warming.” Anytime a Democrat speaks with certainty, you should hold the opposite opinion. Furthermore, you should know that they’re lying and that they know they’re lying.

Not Iraqi Freedom, “American occupation”. The source of this is Stars and Stripes.
The media is trying to spin this as “Bush lied, there were no weapons program, but there were old shells from the 80s that used European made US designed shells, and that is the cover up”
I think the leftist blackmail is that there were no current visible program backed by rogue states, but “old” shells from a previous program that is spun out to be German backed with US design.
However project Sarindar was a Russian assistance of Saddam in erasing all traces of Russian production by sending the stuff to Syria...
This jumping on veterans is about a cover up in order to hide another cover up.
I will probably see this on ABC, NBC, and CBS nightly news tonight. Probably read it on the front page of the NY Times tomorrow too. I am going to flip it over to CNN and see if they have the story on right now.
For those who think I am serious. I am not.
Good catch, I’m so used to reading libeal cap I barely notice it anymore!
