Yeah, well, I'm surprised intelligent people would stay up and listen to that Alien chasin' ding bat ... no I'm just kidding I love Art Bell ... well kinda .. but anyways someone please refer Mr. Bell this Senate Intelligence report which I posted on my website, about Iraq and Saddams potential to use WMDs.
Here are a few snippets from a college essay I wrote some time back. Enjoy.
1.) “Baghdad for now appears to be drawing a line short of conducting terrorist attacks with conventional or CBW against the United States.” (Congressional Record)
2.) “Saddam might decide that the extreme step of assisting Islamist terrorists in conducting a WMD attack against the United States would be his last chance to exact vengeance by taking a large number of victims with him.” (Congressional Record)
3.) “Senator Levin: If (Saddam) did not feel threatened is it likely that he would an
attack using Weapons of Mass Destruction? If we initiate an attack and he thought he was
in extremis or otherwise, what is the likelihood in response to our attack that he would
use chemical or biological weapons?
Senior Intelligence Witness: Pretty high, in my view.” (Congressional Record)
4.) "We have solid reporting of senior level contacts between Iraq and al-Qa'ida going back a
decade. Credible information indicates that Iraq and al-Qa-ida have discussed safe haven and
reciprocal non-aggression.
Since Operation Enduring Freedom, we have solid evidence of the presence in Iraq of al-Qa'ida
members, including some that have been in Baghdad.
We have credible reporting that al-Qa'ida leaders sought contacts in Iraq who could help them
acquire WMD capabilities. The reporting also stated that Iraq has provided training to al-Qa'ida
members in the areas of poisons and gases and making conventional bombs.
Iraq's increasing support to extremist Palestinians, coupled with growing indications of a
relationship with al-Qa'ida, suggest that Baghdad's links to terrorist will increase, even absent US
military actions."

http://www.byronnorris.com/edgeiraqthreat.htmlWhatever George W. Bush knows about this, however (that doesn't breech national security) he needs to relate to us. That is, if he wants to be reelected. There are too many stupid people in this nation, to leave it to chance.
> The reporting also stated that Iraq has provided training to al-Qa'ida members in the areas of poisons and gases and making conventional bombs.
Just noticed that sentence. I've used this point frequently in my arguments with my liberal friends.
Let's say I'm some moonbat with a grudge and I want to do something about it. Mr. Moonbat gets a book on chemistry and plays around in his basement. He may get lucky and make something that blows up, lots of mad bombers have in the past, or he might do society a favor and wind up killing himself, but at this point were talking about one person having to learn through trial and error, and error is not an option if Mr. Moonbat wants to stay alive.
Take Mr. Moonbat and put him in a classroom setting with instructors to teach the right way to make explosive devices and chemical and biological agents. The scary thing is that that classroom can turn out hundreds of Mr. Moonbats over time, who can, in turn, pass on that knowledge to countless others. This to me is a very dangerous scenario and in itself goes a long way to justify shutting down the government that runs such training sites, as in the case of Iraq under Sadam. It's not only about stockpiles of WMDs, it's about stopping the creation of stockpiles of humans who have the knowledge to turn out WMDs, wherever they happen to be.
