Where the WMDs Went

In Iraq’s case, the lakes and rivers were the toilet, and Syria was the back door.

It is reasonable to surmise that a govt that would bury its planes in the Iranian desert would have no qualms about doing the same with easily concealable WMD. This is more plausible than the contention that the intelligence of Russia, England, US, and France was incorrect.

Demonrats care more about political power than the safety of America and their fellow citizens. When the Clinton administration warned of Iraq's WMDs, Demonrats were able to acknowledge the threat. When the Bush administration, after 9/11, confirms what the Demonrats had been saying, they call him a liar and accuse him of distorting the intel. They are weak and fearful in the face of genuine danger and have no business being taken seriously. The world is far too dangerous for their "leadership" and policies.

Wow. Required reading!

ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED READING.

Now if only we could get a Republican to read it....

The instances of suspicious weapons activity he cites are problematic. While he can make unverified claims of all sorts, some of the activities he describes should be supportable with current testing. For instance, in the underground bunker where he *assumes* nuclear research was being conducted, enough to cause a technician to get sick from one day's exposure, there would certainly be residual radiation. So the question becomes why aren't we finding these reports of work areas with dangerously high radioactivity? If there were toxic chemicals present for chemical warfare, there would also be traces of it. If the chambers in which the work was done were demolished, we could excavate them and test the rubble for such evidence.

I'm sure he's sincere. But I question why we aren't finding indeliable scientific evidence of the WMD research he's describing here.

I need to find the pictures of US troops digging up the latest MIG-25's and other military hardware buried in the desert. It was posted on my e-mail from a freind in San Antonio

There are so many excellent points in this interview, short enough to be soundbites, that one can't repeat them all here. This was a very eye-opening article. Too bad the MSM won't repeat a glimmer of it.

Ain't gonna happen [with a few exceptions to be fair] with the leadership we have at the WH, RNC, NRCC or the NRSC. However, I can tell you that the Main Street Group [Rep. Bass] continues to pound the President and conservatives relentlessly. The moderates have made a coordinated move to usurp the power of their own respective elected leadership. In the senate, it's the 7 turn coats who got some judges through, but damaged the Party in profound ways. In the House, with DeLay idled, the turn coats [Main Street Group...George Soros] are openly challenging the Leadership of the House with Bass living up to his namesake "the LARGEMOUTH Bass".

We need conservative congressmen and women, as well as the conservatives in the senate to step up regarding this open rebellion.

It is the policy of the US government to neither confrim or deny the existance of WMD - even if we sold it to them and know where it is.

Sorry, but that is our rules and sometime we get hurt by them.

[conservativecorner]

And I'm wondering why I wasted sooooooo much time on you yesterday. I'm not going to post any more responses to you. Clearly, you have an agenda on this site, and I can't waste time on folks like you who aren't sincere about finding those weapons or in even recognizing what has been found to date. To repeat, time is an issue for all of us, and you are a waste of my precious time. Got it?

[eastforker]

Because if we say we found it then we would be asked who provided it to the Iraqis and that could cause a very big problem in international relations.For instance, if we said we found chemical biological or nuclear weapons and it was proven another country provided them or helped in the manufacture it could lead to name calling, finger pointing and possible world war. I think before we invaded we told russia to go in and retrieve those weapons cuz if Saddam used them on our invading forces we would expose them, the Russians as the culprits.World diplomacy is no easy matter.

There are 2 scenarios :
1.Saddam had WMD and get rid of them before the war started.Russia and Libya helped out. Nobody knew that Lybia had nuclear staff. Libya came out immediately after American bombers "visited" Iraq. Something strange is telling me that Libyan nuclear staff came from Iraq.
2.Saddam had no WMD but he behaved as he had.He played with fire and he get burned. After 9/11 attack, US could not afford to play cat and mouse with a guy like Saddam.We get in Iraq and so far did not found out WMD.So what? We get in Iraq to look for WMD. If the WMD are not there.. they are not there. We had the duty to verify it.

I wasn't responding to you personally, I hit Post Reply on #1, as is the custom.

Apparently, you resent any suggestion that unverified claims of industrial processing for WMD (nuclear, chemical) should have some evidence to back it up. Or that biological weapons production should have traces left as well. As we know from our own weapons production facilities, WMD production is very messy and it is difficult to conceal all the evidence.

The article also fails to account for the complete lack of individuals (technicians, transport drivers, etc.) who had to be involved in production and the evacuation of the WMD.

As I said, it all sounds good. But there should be evidence and witnesses to support efforts on the scale the interviewee describes.
