It could be because I don't have a lot of respect for the UN and its UNMOVIC morons like El Baradei, but how do we know El Baradei's buffoons actually sealed the materials inside the al Qaqaa facility? After all, all we have suggesting this fact is El Baradei's reports to the UN Security Council.
We have quite a flurry of reports to the UN Security Council "certifying" the UN's Oil for Food program was on the up-and-up. We now know that program was rife with corruption. Saddam Hussein corrupted officials in at least one permanent member of the UN Security Council (France) and in at least one temporary member of the UN Security Council (Germany). We also know UN officials (Kojo Annan, son of the Secretary General of the UN) was also corrupted by Saddam Hussein.
We have an organization we now know to be corrupt to its very core which has made numerous false reports to the UN Security Council concerning the Oil for Food program. Why should we believe that El Baradei's report that the high explosives were sealed inside the Al Qaqaa facility was true? Might it not be possible that the UNMOVIC inspectors were corrupted by Saddam Hussein and reported something that wasn't true? That is, the high explosives were certified to be inside the facility under IAEA seal (which I think is a padlock and a piece of paper with a UN/IAEA logo on it) when in fact the inspectors knew Saddam Hussein was loading the explosives into 40 or so trucks so he would move the explosives to another facility or to Syria or some other location?
After all, no one in the 101st saw any UN/IAEA seals. None of the embedded reports saw any of the UN/IAEA seals.
Perhaps we should put some pressure on Switzerland to look for bank accounts in the names of the UNMOVIC inspectors.
Those seals don't mean much, just a pair of wire snips and they are gone. I suspect after the inspectors left, that's what happend and Saddam sent them to Syria or buried them.
Or...we blew them up in air strikes.
