I'll believe he didn't have WMD on 11/03/04 and Kerry is the incumbent!
Because Saddam buried, sold off, or otherwise smuggled weapons out of Iraq doesn't necessarily mean he had no WMDs. I prefer Rudy's convention speech: "Saddam (and sons) was a WALKING, TALKING WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION".
I will repeat (for about the 50th time today on FR) that David Kay reported a year ago that Saddam had the infrastructure, the scientific and technical expertise, the growth media and precursor chemicals, and the will to reconstitute his WMD program. Duelfer's report leads to the conclusion that had Saddam not been toppled by the US-led coalition last year, the UN sanctions on Saddam's Iraq would likely have been lifted by now, Saddam would still be in power, and he'd currently be aggressively pursuing WMDs. The media ignores all of this.
The AP should try selling that line to whatever remaining relatives of those in mass graves.
Did John Kerry really say you don't make up things to go to war about after the fact? Has he fully conceded that we would be better off with Sadaam in power did he not read the entire report? John Kerry is nuts...I voted for the war because I believed there were WMD's... now that there are no WMD's I have no excuse for my vote and I will not take comfort in the fact that it was the right thing to do knowing everything that is in this report....
John Kerry needs to console with the sell out Jaques Chirac... I say we need to go to war with France...
Saddam gassed the Kurds. We know he had WMD.
Man alive, talk about BIASED AS HELL. The AP doesn't even begin to come close to objective - so why should we?
Blog on, might army of the pajamajadeen...
Kerry: "But it's OK to make up a firefight report in order to get a purple heart for a self inflicted wound- Did I tell you I was in Viet Nam?"
You just have to LOVE the headline writes over at AllPoop who focus on a laser on one item while completely ignoring everything else.
Earlier today I heard some report on FOX News that said Saddam didn't have scud missiles and I thought "what the hell was that that slammed into that shopping mall in Kuwait City then?"
I will never believe he didn't have them. I do think he stashed them in Syria or somewhere in the leadup to the invasion however. This is all to get Kerry elected.
Well written. Betcha a dollar to a plugged nickel that the info you wrote above will NOT be on the alphabet TV news programs.
And, he never proved that he had gotten rid of them. (Is that grammatically correct?)
Heeere's Johhhnny!!
What a horror show.
From this they conclude that President Bush is saying the OFF program is the reason we attacked Iraq? What a gigantic leap that is.
He is saying that Saddam fooled the world into believing he had WMD, and then bribed many into helping to delay the gathering storm against him.
It was a Chinese Silkworm (low flying cruise type missle) I believe. Not sure if those were banned weapons or not.
Darn. We should have waited 'til the coerced and bribed UNSC abandoned sanctions, Saddam reconstituted his WMD, gave them to Al Qaeda who then kills another 3000 Americans somewhere, and then we'll attack Iraq. But first, we'd still have to pass the Global Test.
