NCP... he wasn't right about that... but certainly, if it's repeated enough people will believe it.. I love to ask the question, if we only found one, would it be okay to find it at your kids school??? Most seem to think, one is enough... but of course there is still harrassment.. Beslan had no WMD's, just a group of child killers.. But rather than bring this to a sour note, here's a post I found here at F/R.. it gave me pause... hope you don't mind that I pass this along... :) ~ jj

We have found at least 53 WMD in Iraq.

Take a look at this CIA report.

Here is a map detaling the finds:

This story is just more repeating the same line to create history instead of viewing reality.

No WMDs? The fact is some WMDs were found. Each time there is a find, the definition of WMDs is chagned to continue to make PRESIDENT Bush look wrong.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/1/13/70852.shtml

In a secret operation, the United States last month removed from Iraq nearly two tons of uranium and hundreds of highly radioactive items that could have been used in a so-called dirty bomb, the Energy Department disclosed Tuesday. "The nuclear material was secured from Iraq's former nuclear research facility and airlifted out of the country to an undisclosed Energy Department laboratory for further analysis," the AP said. "Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham described the previously undisclosed operation, which was concluded June 23, as 'a major achievement' in an attempt to 'keep potentially dangerous nuclear material out of the hands of terrorists.'" And if Bush needs more ammunition to refute Pelosi, he could cite the discovery of Sarin gas-filled artillery shells. "We've found 10 or 12 Sarin and Mustard rounds," Iraq Survey Group chief Charles Duelfer told Fox News, after his team uncovered the WMD cache last June. "We're finding things and we're getting reports of hidden caches almost every day which we have to investigate," Duelfer added. And if the White House wants some dramatic imagery to show how easy it was for Saddam to hide banned weapons, how about those photos of the 30 Iraqi jet fighters that weapons searchers found buried in the sand near Baghdad. Here's how the Associated Press covered that development in August 2003: "American teams hunting for Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction found dozens of fighter jets from Iraq's air force buried beneath the sands, U.S. officials say. "At least one Cold War-era MiG-25 interceptor was found when searchers saw the tops of its twin tail fins poking up from the sands, said one Pentagon official familiar with the hunt. He said search teams have found several MiG-25s and Su-25 ground attack jets buried at al-Taqqadum air field west of Baghdad. ..." The find astonished even then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman, now CIA Director, Porter Goss. "Our guys have found 30-something brand new aircraft buried in the sand to deny us access to them," Goss told the AP. "These are craft we didn't know about." No weapons of mass destruction? President Bush needs to spend more time examining the evidence and less time working through his mea culpas with Barbara Walters.

What I am truly sick of is the constant repeating of the quote, no WMDs found. WMDs have been found, we just haven't found everything the CIA, Mossad, Russia, MI6, and hell, even Saddam said was there.

I won't argue with you tonight but in the sense of what we talk about WMD, there were no substantial stockpiles. I know they found Sarin and such but in small quantities. Uranium by itself is not labled a WMD and most experts I hear talk don't equate a dirty bomb to WMD cause the psychological terror is worse than the physical. Now i'm sure you don't agree with me but if we had found SIGNIFICANT stockpiles, than you must be calling all the Republicans liars and cowards for not pounding this fact at every occasion available including the State of the Union

If the peaceful Saddam didn't have WMD, what killed the Northern Kurds? His government knew how to make them, they used them and it doesn't take long to grow bio weapons in a petri dish. HE WAS A THREAT!

It was said/thought that the WMD were at sea on the black
ships, went to Syria and was in the Russian convoy we
"accidently" bombed.

Since the planes were in your report I took them also, this is a very long report, appears to be good info.
