Evidence Mounts: While Liberal Halted the 'Rush to War,' Saddam Was Hiding the Evidence

Hillary Clinton. Ted Kennedy. Howard Dean. The United Nations. Al Gore. They, in the words of David Kay, were all wrong. But because he is the Democrat nominee for President of the United States, John Kerry bears the greatest burden.

These useless idiots have committed a blunder of historic proportions. They decelerated the Bush administration’s “rush to war” against Saddam Hussein. And now, according to the United Nations (yes, the United Nations) Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction are out there, on the black market, or perhaps already in the hands of anti-American terrorist.

Big media has largely ignored the new evidence, but it is compelling. The UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) briefed the Security Council recently on new findings that could help trace the whereabouts of Saddam's missile and WMD program.

The briefing contained satellite photographs that demonstrated the speed with which Saddam dismantled his missile and WMD sites before and during the war. Council members were shown photographs of a ballistic missile site outside Baghdad in May 2003, and then saw a satellite image of the same location in February 2004, in which facilities had disappeared.

Which means, while John Kerry and friends stalled, halted, hemmed, hawed, and demanded the Bush administration go to the United Nations just one more time to get permission from France to invade Saddam’s Iraq, the Butcher of Baghdad was secreting out weapons of mass destruction (or at least their component parts).

Where are the WMD’s now? God only knows. Though, at least one shell armed with sarin gas exploded in Iraq. Most likely, the WMD’s are in Syria, where they quickly will end up in the hands of al Qaida. In short, they’re on the Black Market.

Between Stephen Hayes research into the Iraq-al Qaida connection and the UN’s recent admission that Saddam did, indeed, have WMD’s, it is irrefutable that the Bush administration’s motives for invading Iraq were as pure now as when they stated them as early as 2002. Not that we’re likely to see an apology from Big Media for their shockingly irresponsible attacks on the president over the last three months, all of which is based on lies.

Okay, so Big Media will never cut President Bush a break. And we’re long past expecting them to. But how will they treat the useless idiots who allows WMD’s to get into the hands of anti-American terrorist with whom we are literally at war? Ho do these “peace at any price” liberals sleep at night?

This is true, but the Bush Admin, especially the State Dept., also bears some blame for giving in to such an obvious tactic. I'm just some guy sitting at a computer, and I knew exactly what was happening.

I am afraid it's worse than that. There seems to be a massive movement in the so called major media to get rid of Bush no matter how it hurts the U.S.

The LA Slimes for example ran 2 days in a row their top story, poll results that make the Prez look weak. Today their top story is about a group of ex ambassador types coming out against Bush.

This is of course their editorial opinion leading the headlines, almost daily now.

All this from an editor who claims innocently that they aren't biased in any way, he says it's FOX News that's the problem in America.

If I were a jihadist I would head for Mr. Carroll's office to express how I really felt.LOL!

Silly Question. They will ignore this angle of the story entirely!

Yup, we all did.

What I still don't understand is why we didn't have our satellites aimed at the Iraqi-Syrian border, or even drones for Pete's sake.

We just let the stuff get out of there.

I think we were watching. Those satellites see everything, and what isn't isn't monitored with human eyes is recorded.

If they're in Syria, we know it. In fact, a convoy of chemical agents was on the way to Amman from Damascus a couple of months ago, and it was intercepted by Jordanian security.

Better for it to be in syria than used against our troops.Syria is a much smaller country than Iraq and more than likely the WMD's are in one place, much easier to take out at a later time. Now, about those 10 carrier groups we have at sea now,uumph!!!

I think this is emphatically true. The Iranians say that the nuke enrichment equipment they have was contaminated with weapons grade uranium before it got to them. I do not doubt that. It probably came from Iraq. Of course, that does not negate the fact that it has also been used by the Iranians to enrich uranium.

The Kerry campaign is subverting the victory in Iraq.

The dates here do not make sense. Is ther an error?

Specifically, " photographs of a ballistic missile site outside Baghdad in May 2003, and then saw a satellite image of the same location in February 2004, in which facilities had disappeared", indicates that a month after Baghdad was taken the Iraqis were spiriting away WMD and missile components... How did we let that happen?

It's a good question ... and one I hop the Bush admin can explain. We had satelite photos of WMD sites in May of '03. That would have sealed it. Our war would have been justified without question (it ought to have bee anyway). And this draws into question why Kay said there were no weapons. Very confusing.

But one thing is certain. If we had truly "rushed to war" instead of hemming and hawing, we maight have been able to stop the exporting of at least some of the WMD's. Ugh!

This piece is so 'right on', it has me wanting to reflect a bit. Every time I hear the 'left' buzz about the WMD issues, it gets to me. I remember some slight reporting, early after the successes in Baghdad about some Sarin gas traces being discovered in the Euphrates (or Tigris, not sure) river, allegedly showing that there was a quick 'dumping' of evidence. (anyone else share with me this early recollection? Would love to have some early link to this).

Later, all that was found throughout the country were WMD 'infrastructure' evidence (which is good enough for me), a good cache of blister bombs that were buried for 10 years and forgotten by Saddam (and quickly by the press) and later the most recent Sarin gas find.

The same 'lemmings' that want "anyone but Bush" (which is made up of a lot of Media sources sadly) will continue to press the 'Bush got it wrong on WMD' line and ignore the facts.

These 'lemmings' like to believe that we should have found some hidden building by now, clearly marked "WMD hidden here" and when the big large locked doors were open there would have been a room for nuclear, a room for chemical, etc. Without this obvious needed fine, then Bush simply must have war-mongered this country onto Iraq simply to avenge his father ... [barf]

Amazing the sheer idiocy of these lemmings out there, let alone the sheer number of them as well.

I recall what you are talking about re: the trace sarin. Don't remember the details, though. And don't have a link. But you're right. Would be a valuable link to find, though. We'll keep searching at crushkerry.com.

Do you have any idea how little volume the materials take up...especially if they are not in warheads?

25,000 liters of liquid anthrax is a 10' by 11' room of a typical 8' height. If dried for long-term storage, it could fit in the closet.

100 tons of Mustard and Sarin? Can fit in two large tanker trucks, or a few small airport style refueling trucks. Or, if put in 55 gallon drums, could be moved in cargo vans.

The LA TIMES is doing their part to ensure Bush will not take California in the election. So too, the NYTIMES in NY.

It's not the whole country....

I think we were watching.

I remember reading an article shortly after the war started that stated our spooks observed a convoy of some 1400 vehicles streaming towards Syria. A lot of these vehicles contained people fleeing the impending war, but some were 18 wheelers and other trucks carrying who knows what.

Another article I read some time back stated that France and Russia both sold tunnel boring equipment to Iraq in the 1980's. It was supposed to be used to build a subway in Baghdad. To my knowledge those machines have never been found.

In a related note, back before the 1st Gulf War a British MP went to visit Saddam in an attempt to convince him to pull back from Kuwait. This guy said he entered an elevator in one of Saddams palaces and decended so deep that his ears popped twice before the elevator stopped.

Some of the stuff Iraq had undoubtedly got out, probably to Syria and Lebanon, giving us a good excuse to "cleanse" the Bakka Valley when the time is right. As far as the rest, find the tunnel boring machines and the tunnels and you will likely find the WMD's too.

I'd totally agree, but Colin Powell was just on MTP, not challenging any of Russert's premises. No WMD. Was there no way Powell could reasonably dispute that? Voice a little doubt?

Russert also said the Iraqis weren't regarding us as welcome liberators. Powell didn't even argue that.

When did Republicans assume the obligation to present hard evidence for every opinion voiced? If we cannot even claim that the months prior to the War in Iraq afforded Saddam plenty of time to remove, conceal or destroy WMD---we cannot hope to win this election. The Dems will make credibility an issue, and that's always a killer.

Powell offered no defense, IMO. And Powell is one of the few who can still hold a non-liberal opinion without being torn to ribbons by the media.
