Tony Snow has mentioned this several times on his show this morning. Thanks for the article.
Here we go again... see Bush's fault.
And Syria just test fired a SCUD...hmmmmm....connection?
Bush sympathizers will see this as proof that the WMDs were there, but removed and hidden before or during the early stages of the war, Critics will say the war caused previously secured items to be lost.
These UN people just can't get their shit straight can they? First they tell us that Saddam had WMD and was a threat. We go to war over it, Then they said they found no WMD and now they are saying equipment to make WMD is missing. Does this mean Bush gets an apology? /Sarcasm
Maybe they should expand their search to Syria.
Syria has had their own SCUDs for about 30 years.
The key aspect is that all dual-use equipment wasn't banned nor illegal for Iraq to have, as long as it was regularly inspected.
There were no weapons of mass destruction! The democrats said so! Don't suppose the stuff went to Iran and Syria do ya.
Understood...but that doesn't mean they don't have all the Iraqi SCUDS, which went "missing". As well as the chemical warheards for them.
Syria has had SCUDS for a long time...but SADDAM had his own variant.
There were never any WMD's. We don't know anyone who has WMD's. We cannot even spell WMD's.
Weapons? What weapons? I thought there were none.
By the UN, wasn't it?
Read between the lines. They found something and want to downlay it before it hits the papers.
I am willing to bet that the Miltary dismantled this stuff and put it somewhere so no one gets at it. I still submnit that we know where the WMD is and is not saying anything because it is politically cheaper to say there were no WMD's then have the libs and the press say, "how do we know we have them all?"
"Critics of the war will say the war caused previously secured items to be lost"
Critics of the war also say that Saddam's weapons programs posed no threat. This material is only a threat to them if they can blame Bush for its loss. Don't try to follow the logic of Bush's critics. It will only give you a bad headache.
If the UN is monitoring and aware of this, it's darn sure the US is doing the same and more.
The AP didn't bother to check with US officials to get their comments?
Dual-use equipment presents the opportunity for the game we've been seeing played since the whole thing started - if we ship organic phosphates to Saddam, it's nerve gas; if it's found there afterward it's insecticide. The two tons of enriched uranium is a little harder to dismiss, but they did. You can't win this game.
LOL! Good one.
