I'm betting this information will never make it to the TODAY Show.

"On June 9, Demetrius Perricos announced that before, during and after the war in Iraq, Saddam Hussein shipped weapons of mass destruction and medium-range ballistic missiles to countries in Europe and the Middle East. Entire factories were dismantled and shipped as scrap metal to Jordan, the Netherlands and Turkey, among others, at the rate of about 1,000 tons of metal a month. As an example of speed by which these facilities were dismantled, Perricos displayed two photographs of a ballistic missile site near Baghdad, one taken in May 2003 with an active facility, the other in February 2004 that showed it had simply disappeared.

"What passed for scrap metal and has since been discovered as otherwise is amazing. Inspectors have found Iraqi SA-2 surface-to-air missiles in Rotterdam -- complete with U.N. inspection tags -- and 20 SA-2 engines in Jordan, along with components for solid-fuel for missiles. Short-range Al Samoud surface-to-surface missiles were shipped abroad by agents of the regime. That missing ballistic missile site contained missile components, a reactor vessel and fermenters -- the latter used for the production of chemical and biological warheads."

Or any other mainstream news source for that matter. Just doesn't fit in with their vision for America.

Perhaps it's time GW went on national tv and made the new appear. That way, the media CAN"T avoid writing about it. There is more than one way to skin a cat.

NOTA BENE Euorpean countries...I am willing to bet that the really good stuff ended up both in Syria and FRANCE that's right I think the frogs got a bunch of it just because I think they are the ones who arranged it to make the US and bUsh look bad...The Russians and CHina and Germany probably had a minor role...but I would bet a bundle on CHirac and his minions

Those dates are wrong of course, we deposed Saddam in April 2003... what's the correct date?

And if this is the case - WHY THE HECK DIDNT DAVID KAY MENTION THIS TO THE CONGRESS IN JANUARY?

Also, the new Iraqi president travelled to the US a couple weeks ago and THANKED the American people for liberating his country, shouldn't that have been on every prime time newscast?

Karzi (sp) also thanked American soldiers yesterday at Fort Hood, I only heard this on Fox, and these should be BIG stories!
