UN Confirms: WMDs Smuggled Out of Iraq

Watch the dems spin this to their advantage:

"If Bush hadn't gone to war with Iraq, all the weapons would still be in one place."

Americans have a very short attention span and, with the assistance of the media, this will get tremendous airplay.

Does anyone have the quote from Ann Coulter about the dirty bomb found in NY harbor?

Please provide a link.

"If Bush hadn't gone to war with Iraq, all the weapons would still be in one place."

Yeah, and I'm sure if Bush hadn't gone to war with Iraq, Hans Blix and the Keystone Kops would have found them all the next weekend ;)

[homemom]

Why isn't this "Breaking news" on every channel?

I hope the Bush team hypes it up big time. And SOON!

BUMP!

Rush is on vacation. I haven't heard any one discuss this in the media. I think that it's time for an e-mail barrage. O'Reilly should be a prime target because he has made such a big deal of the fact that WMDs were not found.

[Mo1]

One wonders where CNN and USA Today think twenty tons of nerve gas and sarin came from: Chemical Weapons-Mart? Yet their coverage, like most major media outlets, mentioned not a word about Saddam's smuggled WMDs, which -- according to liberal dogma -- “don't exist.”

They are too worried about whether or not the terrorists are getting even sleep

And we haven't seen this as the lead story on CBS? I'm shocked!

Semper Fi

[gathersnomoss]

There a satellites overhead that can see virtually every square inch of the earth, from what I understand. Wouldn't it stand to reason that someone, somewhere has access to data showing these weapons being moved?

Is this part of an October surprise or we just heading down another rat hole?

"The Rotterdam material was still radioactive."

I hadn't heard that part yet. What kind of items were radioactive?

Brings to mind the find of "yellow cake" uranium tied to Iraq (maybe in March or April?).

[GVnana]

I don't know a lot of details because the story only got about one day of play. Apparently, that's how the materials in Rotterdam were discovered. It's all scrap metal that entered the markets prior to the Iraq invasion. Seems the major international ports now have detection of radioactive material, and when the source was tracked-down at the port, the authorities discovered old missle parts that still had UN inspection tags on them.

Saddam still poisoning us.

Like your screen name, BTW.

I made the same argument last week, that Bush and the Pubbies should be screaming this at the top of their lungs. They should be screaming that NBC weapons have already been used against our guys. Then our FRiend, been_lurking, told me that it's no big deal, that Joe and Jane Sixpack in the mushy middle don't care one way or the other, and that the Pubbies shouldn't waste any time educating them about the truth.

been, I thought you might want to make that same case here on this thread that you made with me, since it seems I'm not the only one who's POd about the apparent cowardice of the Pubbies and Bush.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Blatent Media Bias

[Law is not justice but process]

"There is no nation of any other culture that borders an Islamic nation that is not at war with them."

Not declared war in all cases, certainly, but war nonetheless. I think those who suffered through Indonesia's occupation of Timor, the Turkish Invasion of Cyprus (as well as all Greeks), the Bosnian-Serbian conflict, the entire history of Israel, etc. would all agree with you.

I would say the most interesting war, however, is that going on within the Islamic countries themselves. There is a small but growing minority of Muslims who are fed up with the backwardness of Islam as preached by fundamentalist imams. I have met several during my many years of postgraduate education. I believe the WOT is aimed at putting those people in charge.

Can we succeed? The jury is still out, but the ferocity with which the terrorists are attacking the Iraqi Interim Government sure indicates that THEY think we can succeed and are VERY afraid of us doing just that.

Hmmm, good story. Thanks for the ping! Makes me feel even more justified in our liberation efforts!
