I pray about this every night. Right before the elections, we find the WMDs, capture OBL and Zarqawi.
Its super unlikely anyway.
Iran/Iraq/Syria is in the Russian sphere even if the Russians aren't what they used to be. There would have been no Gulfwar I or II without tacit if grudging Russian acceptance. The coming neutralization of Iran will also be with tacit Russian acceptance, and Syria will remain untouched so long as they don't start something themselves. Don't forget that Russian missiles and bombers have been only minutes away all along, and Russian tanks are only a few days away. Don't lose sight of that, nor be misled by the fiasco in Chechnya.
On the face of it, the premise is ridiculous. It would run counter to everything we know about the man, his government, and his methods of operation.
This isn't necessarily new news, but the fact that the word is starting to catch on is. This could be a real sitcky wicket for the Dems if there is real proof by Fall.
Idiocy is prevalent in MSM and on the Hill, but I suspect they
actual case is that many of those who deny WMDs in Iraq believe they were there and are using the limited finds there for maximum advantage, hoping more information doesen't come out.
It is always smart to take most of Loftus's hype with a grain of salt - Not suggesting anything more or less -
Saddam had WMD's in the late 80's and early 90's - This is not in debate or question -
I believe our govt.knows right where they are.I believe they just dont want to blow this stuff into the atmosphere.Our men and women on the front would be the first to get bombarded.
Do you have more of the transcript? When was the interview?
If you are talking about Syria, they probably have leads on where the WMD material is reported to be.
It was on today's "News Hour with Jim Lehrer". I don't have the transcript. I just watched it on PBS on my television.
Can't wait for Feb. 17th. BTTT!
Me too!
...why would they sit on the info...?
I remember reading two years (?) ago about satellite imagery of convoys moving to Syria a few days or weeks before Operation Iraqi Freedom. Am I right Freepers?
My guess as to why the Bush Administration is sitting on the disclosure of the WMD is to save it for the mid-term elections during the second Bush 43 term. It'll be a great first salvo over the bow of the Democrat Party ship that is already beginning to take on water.
As ever President Bush is proving to be the Great Poker Player that he is known to be. He has been stringing the Democrats along these past couple years and they ain't going to like this when the news comes out February 17th!

You do not understand our current President and CIC all that well. He would not use anything related to national security as simply a political tool.
He is a serious man and not one to play politics regarding issues such as these.
Can he "do" politics. Most certainly. But he does not "do" politics when it comes to our national security. And for this, this nation should be very thankful.
You haven't thought this through.
You can't tell the American people where the WMD went, until you have
1. an airtight legal evidence case that will withstand MSM sabotage, and most importantly
2. are ready and poised to go get the WMD.
The American people aren't going to want to learn the WMD are in Syria unless the next statement out of the President's mouth is "and our troops are in Syria now packing them up."
We aren't ready to go get them; we're still busy tidying up the Syrian border in Iraq. When we are ready to go get them, then the President will stop "sitting" on the information.
All that was posted right here on FR at the time and is no surprise to anybody who has been watching. For a while it was supposed it had got to the Bakaa Valley in Lebanon, but it wouldn't be there now since Syria withdrew. Who knows why the MSM didn't pick up on it. That's a rhetorical question.
Nobody is going into Syria. Syria has been neutralized for many years and is not worth the expense.
We'll see.
However, with the internet and talk radio - the info will get out - and it will be just another feather in Bush's cap - making the dems even more hateful and funnier than ever.
