Thursday or Friday on Bob Grant's show, Richard Minoter (?) said he talked to David Kay. They have apparently found "Silkworm" missiles capable of flying 1000 km (600 miles), that could be tipped with sarin. They also have milling techniques for anthrax that are superior to ours.

Yes, I have heard of Ollie North. I should have made a disclaimer for the Marine Corp. Even their enlisted men are allowed to think for themselves.

Well, just two days ago the UN came out and said 'yep, they sure were spending quality time on WMD, as it turns out'.

What you told us will (publicly) validate the WMD/WOT and will kill the Democrats. Best possible ace in the hole I could ever hope for.

"Isn't this enough evidence to prove Saddam had WMD?"

Not for Democrats....it would have taken an attack on our soldiers using WMD's to force them to realize they were and are wrong.

So has the guy told them where the WMD that were supposedly issued to his unit are now? Some people aren't going to believe it til they SEE them....and some will think we planted them even then.

No, no, no.

There were/are no weapons of mass destruction.

There was no relationship whatsoever between Al Qaeda and Iraq.

America is an aggressor nation that brought 9/11 on itself.

W. knew all about 9/11 before hand from the Saudis, and chose to do nothing in order to prop up his failing presidency.

I know these things to be true. I read them in the National Democratic Committee newsletter. Or was it al Jezeera? Or was it in Saddam Hussein's Christmas card and family newsletter?

No, it's not. In hopes of getting the best "deal" possible, he is going to say whatever he thinks his U.S. interrogators want him to say. The only proof of WMD will be if and when are in fact actually found.

The west should not thank God that Iraq decided not to fight. The west should thank God that Iraq was unable to fight.

Interesting info Tymesup. Did he elaborate on "milling" or say anything else about anthrax?

"The weapons every mental deficient in the U.S. claims never existed?"

No, the very same ones that one mental deficient in the U.S. said he'd find in spades.

And the Iraqis should thank God they didn't fight because they would have found out what fighting is all about. The major problem then would not have been trying to find WMD, it would have been trying to find Iraq.

I also heard the interview on the Bob Grant show.
(His name is Richard Miniter )

Yes
he said he had spoken recently to David Kay.
David Kay said that the methods of weaponizing dried anthrax were superior
to those of the US and the former Soviet Union.
He (Miniter) did not go into further detail.

Which raises the question...does Kay know about Matsumoto's allegations about silica and polymerized glass...

It's possible he found info of such process in Iraq...but has not been informed about the Senate anthrax having the same.

Are we on the verge of a revelation, do you suppose?

All the info is trending in that direction...

THIS FACT is also being ignored:

Mustard, cyanide said found in Euphrates: TV report

US Marines found cyanide and mustard agents in high concentrations in the Euphrates River near Nasiriyah in Iraq, television network MSNBC reported on Friday, citing a briefing from Marine officials.

The agents were found during routine tests conducted to ensure the water being used is safe, MSNBC said.

No other networks could immediately confirm the report.

Mustard gas produces painful, long-lasting blisters and often leads to blindness, while cyanide kills by preventing blood from transporting oxygen.

This is one place where the WMD ended up. The rest in Syria, buried in Iraq, who knows where else.
