[history]
Saddam Hussein (search) had weapons of mass destruction and his army was capable of firing them off in less than 45 minutes, according to statements from an Iraqi colonel.
Lt. Col. al-Dabbagh told the London Telegraph that cases of WMD warheads were shipped under cover of darkness to front-line units, including his own, near the end of 2002, in a report published in Sunday editions.

Nah, they will say it's a lie because no actual WMDs have been turned up.

They had all the time in the world to squirrel away the WMD's.

I think Iraq probably had at least chemical weapons, but I seriously doubt they were issued to frontline units...Maybe they were under central control (which disintegrated about 45 minutes after the first strikes). That would explain why they were never employed...that, and the Iraqi commanders knew which way the wind was blowing.

Nah, they will say it's a lie because no actual WMDs have been turned up. Applying the same logic, Saddam Hussein did not really exist because he has not turned up.
It is a big damn country with lots of places to bury small grenades. Even when we find crates of them, we won't be able to tell whether they are conventional grenades or WMD until they are tested. That means testing every one in every crate, since they probably spread them out among crates of conventional grendades.

Yep! But the butts will never be satisfied.
Think about how the REDs in this country behaved as we geared up as the Arsenal for Democracy and the peace protests they staged. They kept the protests up right up to Operation Barbarossa - the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union - then they wrapped themselves in the flag and became the biggest jingoists for going to war right then and there.
They haven't changed and it will take one of their favorite oxes getting gored before they get on board the war on terrorism.

Richard Miniter was on Fox and Friends this morning. Now I was still half asleep, but it seemed that he was only on for a few minutes. He said that he's been interviewing David Kay, and that Kay has more info. Kay said that he has found silkworm missiles with special cannisters to hold sarin gas. He also said that Iraq had the capability to refine Anthrax better than any other country in the world, including the US.
I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this.

Anyone ask the Lt. Col. what he did with them. Or what the other units might have done with theirs? Does seem kind of pertinent...

Right, whatever you say.

Did you not notice the little smiley face at the end of my sentence? This denotes an intentionally facetious statement!

OK. So WTF did you do with them Colonel? You didn't fire them, and they didn't just sort of poofo disappear. Did you hide them? Did you ship them out of country? Are you lying through your teeth?
Enquiring minds...
To: GigaDittos
Al-Dabbagh told the paper that the weapons were Iraqi-manufactured and were designed to be launched from hand-held rocket-propelled grenades.?????????????
To: GigaDittos
cases of WMD warheads were shipped under cover of darkness to front-line units, including his ownThe same front-line units that were overrun by our troops, and yet we found not one single cannister of chem/bio?
