OK, so you do believe they did produce agents but just not that many of them. How much is not that much? What kind of agents?

Of course they did. I dont deny that his scientists were doing research and produced small amounts. I also dont deny that all it takes for terrorists to cause serious problems is one vial of stuff. But that isnt what we told the world and what our CIA confidentially expected to find. They expected to find large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons as a result of mass production of these items. They werent looking for an isolated envelope containing Ricin or Antrax, both of which can be created by your average scientist in any country of the world. They were also looking for nuclear bomb development that was within a year of working bomb...just waiting for processing of plutonium to make it complete.

I was working intel during the Impeached Rapist's years. I know what I'm talking about.

If you are an example of the fine work being done in our intelligence agencies, then God help us. With your tunnel vision we are going to miss the implosion of the SOviet Union, mis-target the Chineese embassies in countries like Iraq, have additional 9/11's, and the only time we will find WMD's is when they are distributed throught the US mail. And oh yeah, Bin Laden will die of old age.

Maybe. But at least I'm able to concentrate enough to read through a thread and follow a trail of facts and logic. Give it a try sometime.

And while you're at it, learn a little bit about the Intelligence Community. Eventually you may realize they're not mind readers, even though clueless critics like you insist they be.

What's small? It takes very little physical space to store bio agents that could kill millions. We are no longer in the cold war days. The threats we are now facing can be undertaken in small facilities and the materials can easily be hidden.

Dave, you are not able to provide any convincing evidence that there are no WMD materials in Iraq because it's impossible to prove. My point is the materials could be there.

Im not trying to prove that there arent any. I dont know. You guys are the ones that despite all evidence to date seem to continue to grasp at every conspiracy theory to explain the fact that they havent been found. Coop and Hank Reardon and others are convinced they exist. They fear that if they dont then the Dems will make hay out of the fact "Bush lied" which is not true. If he was feed intel by the likes of Coop, then he couldnt have helped himself.

Thank you!! This is great information.

I'm really surprised this hasn't been discussed in the press. < / sarcasm >

There are no weapons of of mass destruction. All you have to do is to listen to the democRAT debates to know that. < /sarcasm >

Headline we would like to see the day of the RAT convention: WEAPONS CACHE FOUND: DEMOCRATS DISMAYED Tom Daschle says that he is deeply saddened that President Bush would take such a cheap political shot......

"Powerful stuff. Can you find a transcript of this?"

I transcribed it myself from my videotape and then posted all of the John Loftus interview.

As far as the 3 minute James Woolsey interview went, I transcribed and posted what I thought were the most salient points. I will re-wind my tape when I get time and see if he said anything else that you might find important. If I remember correctly, he didn't agree with those who are attempting to force George Tenent to step down, and explained why.

I'll ping you if I get a chance to transcribe and then post more of what he said.

Whatever happened with the three freighters that were loaded in Syria and were being tracked meandering around southern oceans aimlessly?

We need to recall (and the RATmedia needs reminding) that we did not discover his weapons after the first Gulf War until after his son in law defected and told the world about them. I would not be surprised to see the same thing here.
