My search didn't find this.

Funny how he is the only one stating this in public. I wonder what is being said behind closed doors at the White House.

[steveegg]

Don't know how it didn't, because it was previously posted here.

This is news to today. But why is it it seems like we hear this once every 3 months.

This is why I completely ignore the no-war-at-any-cost crowd. Once a bomb goes off, it's too late. Scott Ritter and his little pals in A.N.S.W.E.R. and other orgs should be hunted down and deported to Iraq if one goes off here.

I got this great poster from a pal a few minutes ago and could not wait to share it with my Freeper pals.

Well, there's a few more. One reason why is, during the 90's in the intelligence community, there was just a pathological risk aversion. The reason being was that our president at the time, Bill Clinton, fundamentally changed the purpose of the United States military from fighting and winning wars to crisis management and keeping his poll numbers up.

What a LOOSER!

What is the likelihood of a nation doing its first nuclear test in combat? Of it working as expected by the designers?

Saddam Has Nukes, Ex-Weapons Inspector Says

How can this be? Scott Ritter is jumping up and down and screaming that Saddam doesn't have any WMD.

Good spot to post this again:

UN Method for dealing with a rattlesnake in your backyard:

1. Get the toddlers inside.

2. Find the rattlesnake.

3. Wearing thick, long gloves, grab it just behind the head.

4. Using special gizmo you've brought along for the purpose, milk the venom out of its fangs into a glass jar.

5. Turn the snake loose.

6. Let the toddlers back into the yard.

7. Repeat weekly for as long as the snake lives.

2. Chop its head off.

Last September, Federal law enforcement agencies were given an intelligence report from the Pentagon stating they recieved a telephone call from a person named Markeson. This individual claimed that Iraq had nuclear weapons and was trying to mate thos weapons with long range missiles. I read the report at one of our musters before hitting the border. Although it was an official report it was quite vague and lacked any specific information. It didn't seem like a very reliable report but who knows?

[SevenDaysInMay]

We are beyond silly if we don't expect one or more nukes already here right here in River City as well as those in Iraq. Does anyone really think that the Baath leadership wouldn't use chem or bio vectors in the USA and UK as we're kicking the spit out of their corpses? I would not be shocked if Saddam sets of one of his own nukes in Iraq to blame us, just to get the billion not-yet jihidis excited.

The UN will provide their own volunteer human shield inspectors just to block the USA.

Pan-Islam is at war to the death with the USA. They know that they can severely damage us, but are gambling that we will get PC and not destroy them. We will see at least Armageddon Lite, or our children's children will.

BTTT !

Combs throttled him when he tried to provide details.

If true, it would explain the indirection of the Adminstration's approach to Iraq so far. If Bush sends in the 101st and an American city is incinerated, Owlgore is president in 2005. If not, he carries the District of Columbia and Minnesota, if he's lucky.
