NYT's lefty banshee dowdifies Kay Report

WMDs, and Osama.

[go-ken-go]

Why would Kay say there isn't any WMDs, IF he knows exactly where they are?

[go-ken-go]

I keep wondering why all of a sudden did Kay 'pick up his marbles and go home', only after being there a few months?
He did say he was upset about something, that caused him to quit.

[DCPatriot]

I agree with you to a degree, but everywhere you turn...radio, tv, print, it's anti-GOP, anti-Bush.

All the celebrities seem to be Leftists, and whether you want to admit it, they have an influence of sorts on the new voters...who are liberal indoctrinated by the education system.

I'm afraid our country that my uncles died for in WWII is doomed. The liberal Left is our version of the Barbarian at the Gate, and somehow, we allowed it.

We've become a decadent, godless society as evidenced by the steady diet of sex, sex, sex on tv.

I miss Leave it to Beaver and The Donna Reed Show, I Love Lucy, etc.. I want my country back, damnit!

He did say he was upset about something, that caused him to quit.

I'm not sure it's what you're referring to, but I did hear Kay tell Ted Koppel on Nightline that he was upset about the lack of proper funding for him and his team.

[BlueNgold]

Amazing isn't it, that John Kerry has yet to carry a single primary with a clear majority yet somehow in national polls he is now carrying 53%. His best showing to date is less than 40%, although that may change today. I still think its funny... funnier still if he believes his own hype.

[Miss Marple]

Someone posted this theory yesterday, but I have forgotten who, so I can't give credit.

There were lots of hints that we had found things both during and after the war. All those articles seemed to point to WMD, then officials would say "no, no WMD."

What the poster postulated was that Saddam had hidden the WMD's and told various groups (Al Qaeda, Hammas, etc) where they were. We got the ocations and are watching to see who shows up.

BrookesNew.com Ping -- Bump please?

Can you tell us something about Brookes? I've never heard of them before this.

I agree with your conclusion that the WMDs may have been shipped to Syria, but even a video showing Hussein personally burying them in the Syrian earth would not stop the Dems and demented scribblers like Dowd from lying and slandering Bush and Republicans.

The libs, save for a tiny few, have moved beyond the margins of a decent opposition. They are now in the category of traitorous scoundrels just about the entire lot. Opportunity is the only thing on their minds. To them there is no history and nothing for them to account their actions for. To a person they all supported Clinton's claim that Hussein had WMDS and had to be removed...no problem, we'll just forget about that and smear Bush and forget that every intelligence org on the planet said the same thing about Saddam's WMDs. In fact even after the Kay report, the Brits and Australians still stand by their claims that Hussein had WMDs up until the war. That doesn't matter to Dems which makes them the most irresponsible group of elected clowns we've ever seen.

[Mr. Silverback]

How in the heck is Kerry seen winning against Bush?

Let me first say that AmishDude and Congressman BillyBob are correct in their assessments. Indeed, the voters don't know who Kerry is, and when they find out (votes with Ted Kennedy 96% of the time), he's going to drop in the polls.

That said, I'd like to add two more thoughts:

1. IIRC, Fritz Mondale was ahead of Reagan at this point in 1984, and the public knew who he was and what he stood for. His lead didn't last long, and he only won one state.

2. However, Gore got the popular vote even with the public knowing who he was and what he stood for. So no matter what the polls say, work like we're behind all year long.

Exactly how did "some know" that Hussein had no hidden weapons of mass destruction unless assuming (1) he had actually got rid of them and (2) they were privy to that knowledge making them, like Scott Ritter, complicit with Hussein's regime?

[billbears]

Hussien Kamal's intereview in 1995 was quite explicit. Secondly I don't think I implied that 'some knew' pertaining to those in power, 'knew' may have been the wrong word. Rather what 'some' here had been saying since last March. And Kay's report, along with the investigation called for by Bush, is evidence of that

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

I figured it was a bad breakup. Thanks for the info.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Why would Kay say there isn't any WMDs, IF he knows exactly where they are?

Batchelor said that Kay was careful in couching his phraseology. Kay has been saying that he doesn't believe any WMDs will be found in Iraq.

[MeekOneGOP]

John 'F' Kerry will be left smoking on Wednesday, November 3rd after all the votes have been counted.

Probably Tuesday night, actually ...

Kerry will get what he's been asking for: Bring it on!

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks for the post and ping ...

[MEG33]

Thanks for positive thinking!

[MeekOneGOP]

It's the only way to fly. :O)

[driftless]

My point, that although there is the possibility that the naysayers might be correct about no WMDS in Iraq before the war, how could they have known for sure? All the worlds intelligences agencies, including the Brit's who I value more than any other and who still stand by their claim that Hussein had WMDs right up to the war, were saying he had them? We knew that Hussein had them, had used them, and still insisted he had them right up to the start of hostilities.

It's not the fact that Hussein may or may not have had WMDs before the start of the war. By itself his possessing them would not have made me endorse his removal, or any other foreign potentate no matter how horrible, by force. For me it's the fact that given his past record and multi-million dollar support of international Islamo-terror that made his removal imperative. We simply could not take the chance on his further continuation as head of Iraq with what we knew he was capable of. He dug his own grave.
