WMDs Found in Iraq

Contrary to ongoing reports by mainstream media outlets, WMDs have been found in Iraq, so reports New York Times best-selling author Richard Miniter in his new book, Disinformation.

Consider these shocking facts:

• Found: 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium

• Found: 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons

• Found: Roadside bomb loaded with sarin gas

• Found: 1,000 radioactive materials--ideal for radioactive dirty bombs

• Found: 17 chemical warheads--some containing cyclosarin, a nerve agent five times more powerful than sarin

This is only a partial list of the deadly weapons Miniter reveals in his new book, Disinformation. Miniter systematically dissects the "No-WMD Myth" (how it started, and why it continues), as well as 21 other War-on-Terror myths perpetuated by the media.

I posted it as its own thread, it's important to point out the truth, since the Dems and media keeps perpetrating the big lie.

And since the administration has never bothered to tell us the findings.

The MSM will run to Greenpeace in a second when it fits their agenda. A lot of the far left sites twist these radio active reports to blame them on US DU projectiles.

also recall news stories about tests showing mustard gas in the Euphrates

I remember that as well and at the time I thought how logical it was--if you're the Iraqi Army officer in charge of chem munitions and the war is going badly & you know that anyone caught with chemical weapons can look forward to some challenging treatment; well--there's a darn big river right there and ...

See no evil, etc, you know the drill.

These materials obtained in the '80s can't be used to kill people? So they aren't relevant? Wonder why Saddam didn't use them in the war, but thank God they weren't.

there are other things we still know we don't know, as well as things regarding this issue we don't even know we aren't aware we don't know at this time.

Did the SECDEF actually add that redundancy?

[ASA Vet]

he orchestrated the transfer of these weapons to Iraq

You forgot to mention that he traveled to Iraq several times in his dads SR-71.

"Yeah..... but they were old, and most likely brought into Iraq by Don Rumsfeld :-)"


Condi Rice had them in her purse....sheesh....get it right.

Best explanation I've read to date...

WMD/TIC ping

You know I went to a local book store to buy Miniter's book yesterday, big shock, not there. But of course they had Frankenfraud's book there front and center right next to Dowd's and Jimmah's. I'll probably check the library but usually thats just more of the same.

Bump!

[SevenMinusOne]

Did the SECDEF actually add that redundancy?

He did, I believe - Trying to emphasize that some of those particular things "we currently don't know, we don't know"....we very well may in the next hour, day or week -

[Ditter]

I also remember stories about chemicals found in the Euphrates. As soon as our troops reached Baghdad the army tested the water in the river and found all kinds of bad stuff in it. I have never heard it mentioned again until you did just now. I was beginning to think I had imagined it.

[ASA Vet]

It was mentioned on several FR threads of that time.
I don't recall any mention of it by the MSM branch of the CommieRAT Party.
IIRC one of the FOX embeds reported it once. He had the river in the background while doing his report.

marking for later...

[willyboyishere]

The Manilow Tapes could prove to be a bigger scandal than the Pentagon Papers. And reason enough to go to war.

[Republic of Texas]

Yeah..... but they were old, and most likely brought into Iraq by Don Rumsfeld :-)

Not far from the truth. One reason I KNOW they had WMD's was that in the 80's, we SOLD THEM TO THE IRAQIIS! We probably still have the paperwork hidden somewhere. Then we watched them USE THEM ON TV! These tidbits are *forgotten* by the MSM.

[PISANO]

IF we found an armed Nuke [from the USSR] in the Sunni Triangle the left would say it was OLD and probably wouldn't have detonated anyway so move on nothing to worry about.

Oh....and there are NO WMD in Iraq, never was, and Bush is a liar.

If the recent vote in the previously Republican strongholds in the suburbs of VA and NJ are any reflection, the nation BELIEVES it!!

[P.O.E.]

Gives new meaning to BTTT, doesn't it?
