Hmmmmmm!

Is another show about to drop?

[finnman69]

interesting

[sarasota]

No surprise here (for me). Others, however, seem to be leaning towards the "no-WMD camp". We'll find them. Patience, please.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

From Reuters? Holy hidden WMD's Batman!

[Axenolith]

BTTT

[jmstein7]

BUMP!

[petercooper]

The guy had months and months and months and months and months and months and months to hide the WMD.

Anyone who believes he never had them and Bush lied, is an idiot.

[smith288]

I wonder if the Iraqis are working with the White House directly for political advantage.

Does the Iraqi leadership want Bush back so they will work with us in undermining Democrats who hang themselves out to dry during the election season?

[Semper Paratus]

I have a chilling feeling that the next time we see Iraq's WMDS will be in the form of a mass mailing.

[Dave S]

Dont you think that if the old regime people who are fighting us in Iraq had a clue where these WMD's were that they wouldnt be using them on us in Iraq?

I think its about time to get used to the idea that either Saddam ran a shell game or he was conned by his own scientists and he didnt have any stockpiles.

[Tricorn]

By their own admission and by the fact that they used them, Iraq is known to have had WMD. UN inspectors were unable to verify that these known WMD were ever destroyed. Therefore, Saddam had to go. This is what makes this debate so easy, and why the Dems are making a big mistake walking into this minefield. Stripped of the media filter, it's a big arching softball for our side.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

They may be hiding in plain sight, right under our noses...

[Oldeconomybuyer]

WMD in Iraq. The 2004 version of "The October Surprise"?

[Dave S]

What the hell does Zebari know? He believes there must be but he didnt see them, nor know where they are buried. His last concrete knowledge was in the late 80's when Saddam used WMD on the Kurds. Well in the early 90's we defeated Saddam and forced him to get rid of those weapons. The UN guys oversaw the disposal.

I dont know why you guys get your panties all in a twit over some former exile that probably fed the poor intelligence to the CIA and is now trying to recreate the myth of WMD to protect his reputation.

[kinghorse]

Folks we are in the economic fight for our survival. Murdering a few thousand people with WMD's is child's play compared to the fallout of an energy crisis. Let's keep our eye on the ball and accept the political posturing as a means to an end.

[dc-zoo]

Anyone anywhere near to the hiding of saddam's weapons would be very dead. You can bet on that.

[CaptRon]

The Bush administration has let themselves be led around by the nose with this phony issue and it's probably too late to stop it now.

WMD was never the sole reason for taking action, but he keeps allowing the left to define these issues. They should be shouting from the rooftops what David Kay had to say about our action being justified to counter the headlines pointing out that no WMDs have been found.

[aruanan]

"I have every belief that some of these weapons could be found as we move forward," Zebari, an Iraqi Kurd, told a news conference in Sofia. "They have been hidden in certain areas. The system of hiding was very sophisticated."

We'd be much closer to the actual state of affairs if those who so loudly proclaim that the fact we have not yet found Iraqi WMD means they don't exist at all were to acknowledge honestly how hard they've had to look for their keys or a check or some other item in their own homes before finding it, an object simply misplaced, not hidden, and then
1. think about how easily they would have found it had someone deliberately hidden it,
2. consider how easily they would have found it had someone deliberately hidden it, not in their house, but somewhere on their block, and
3. consider how well-hidden something could be given millions of dollars and an entire country, much of it sparsely populated, in which to hide it.

[George W. Bush]

"They have been hidden in certain areas. The system of hiding was very sophisticated."

If so, it would be the first sophisticated thing Saddam ever did.

In retrospect, he's never been more than a crude, brutal dictator. He led a glaringly stupid goverment and military.

President Bush Welcomes President Kwasniewski (Poland) to White House

PRESIDENT KWASNIEWSKI: May I add one thing?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Sure, please.

PRESIDENT KWASNIEWSKI: Because it might be interesting for American journalists. Many months before Iraqi action, I met predecessor of Hans Blix in Warsaw. I invited him to my palace, and we discussed about mass destruction weapons, Iraq and everything. And he told me very important thing, that Saddam has these weapons or is ready to produce these weapons. Because to have such impression that he has mass destruction weapons is a part of his doctrine to keep own power in Iraq and to be strong in the region.

So I think that it's very difficult today to judge how it was when he had -- when he decided to continue this project of mass destruction weapons. But that was information of predecessor of Mr. Blix in Warsaw, that absolutely Iraq is ready to produce if it's necessary, to keep the power of -- and the dictatorship of Saddam and to play such important role in the region.
