Then why did Kerry raise the specter of Saddam's miscalculations with WMD before and after 9/11?

Of course that's what they're going to say. This scientist won't prosecute himself by admitting it.

in the article the scientist is quoted as saying "We had orders to hand over the equipment ... to the special Republican Guards, and they had orders to destroy the equipment that we handed over to them." not very convincing??

It would be nice to see them try, but I think that ship has sailed.

Why yes, they just needed traffic helicopters...

somebody should've told this German comapany- it would have saed them a lot of grief:

APRIL 2001 : (GERMAN COMPANIES CAUGHT TRYING TO DELIVER COMPONENTS TO IRAQ) August Hanning, head of the BND (German’s Federal Intelligence service), gives an interview to a German Sunday newspaper. “New chemical weapons are being developed in Iraq. German companies apparently tried to deliver important components for the production of poison gas to Iraq’s Samara plant.” (Interview published by Welt am Sonntag, a German Sunday newspaper, on 22 April 2001, entitled: “The spy who came in from Westphalia”) This is compatible with Mr Saeed’s evidence.- Iraq - Scotsman says Saddam has weapons to wipe out world's population, nuclear bomb within 3 years "The Scotsman dossier - SPECIAL REPORT ON IRAQ" by Fraser Nelson, Westminster Editor

They didn't intend to ever go retrieve it, not even if sanctions were lifted, I'm sure:

MAY 2000 : (IAEA DISCOVERS IRAQI CENTRIFUGE) The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency, which also carried out inspections on Iraq until Dec 1998) discovered and destroyed an Iraqi nuclear centrifuge which had been stored in Jordan.- Iraq - Scotsman says Saddam has weapons to wipe out world's population, nuclear bomb within 3 years "The Scotsman dossier - SPECIAL REPORT ON IRAQ" by Fraser Nelson, Westminster Editor

Yeah, they stopped all development and decided to keep those sanctions on their country by hiding things like this for years after they 'quit.'

DECEMBER 1998 : (IRAQ, UNSCOM DISMANTLES GERMAN CENTRIFUGE INSTALLATION) The Times of London interview with Hamza notes another possible clue tog the nature of Brazil-Iraq relations in the early 1980s. Before leaving Iraq in 1998 -- just days before U.S.-led air strikes -- U.N. weapons inspectors had dismantled an illegally imported German centrifuge installation that had been used to refine progressively natural or low-enriched uranium until it became suitable for weapons, the Times reported. - "Brazil uranium sales to Iraq stir debate ," by Carmen Gentile, United Press International 9/25/02

All of the raw material for WMDs were given different labels by Bush critics when they were discovered. Chemical weapons materials was labeled unused pesticides. Radiological weapons material was labeled nuclear waste. Biological weapons materials were labelled leftover research materials. Etc, etc.

Pay no attention to the date here. These were really performance enhancing drugs for use on Iraqi olympic athletes who were too beaten up after their last Olympic debut to do well. Really...

We can take their word for it. Honest. Look at this example:

APRIL 1991 : (IRAQ LIES TO UN ABOUT BIOWEAPONS) Iraq tells UN that it has never had any biological materials, weapons, research or facilities.- Iraq - Scotsman says Saddam has weapons to wipe out world's population, nuclear bomb within 3 years "The Scotsman dossier - SPECIAL REPORT ON IRAQ" by Fraser Nelson, Westminster Editor

Ooops...nevermind.

AUGUST 1991 : (IRAQ FINALLY ADMITS TO BIOWEAPONS PROGRAM) Iraq admits to a biological weapons research programme- Iraq - Scotsman says Saddam has weapons to wipe out world's population, nuclear bomb within 3 years "The Scotsman dossier - SPECIAL REPORT ON IRAQ" by Fraser Nelson, Westminster Editor

He added: "Saddam took a decision in July 1991 to abandon the (nuclear) program and destroy what remained of its equipment." "We had orders to hand over the equipment to the Republican Guards, to the special Republican Guards, and they had orders to destroy the equipment that we handed over to them." "Everything was destroyed, such that the program couldn't be restarted at the time at all, and it never restarted," Jaffar said, adding that there was also no request to do more research.

There is just no good reason given for this. Saddam just decided to destroy them, OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART? It seems so unlikely.

Isn't it remarkable that Hussein couldn't produce any evidence whatsoever that he had destroyed any WMDs, or production capabilities? 1991 hugh? Yep, remarkable.
