Rush just read a CNN story from 1/2003 "Al Aqaa a WMD site"...anyone have a link (vanity)

[God luvs America]

Looked through the search here yet could not find it...evidently the story on CNN.com from 1/2003 said UN inspectors were in Al Aqaa that month and it was declared a "repository for WMD"...any links to CNN article??

I don't have a link but it was a known or supposed WMD site.

If somebody took off with 380 tons of explosives, you can imagine how easily they could take off with small vials of anthrax, etc.

Bump! Good question to ask. I was thinking the same thing. Glad to see fellow FReepers already on top of things.

Thanks for those links!

It was a long known WMD site where they assembled triggers for nuclear bombs, filled chemical weapons and other activities.

The NYT needs to apologize to America, and you need to run a retraction regarding the Iraqi explosives story you ran yesterday.

Once again Dan Rather and CBS News and the New York Times are attempting to manipulate a false story to effect our nation’s elections.

The Iraqi explosives story CBS and the New York Times ran yesterday is a fraud. These weapons were not there when US troops went to this site in 2003. The IAEA and its head, the anti-American Mohammed El Baradei, leaked a false letter on this issue to the media to embarrass the Bush administration.

I’m going to ask the FCC to investigate CBS and the NYT continued egregious actions.
