Saddam talked of WMD attack in U.S.

The bold seems to me to be an explicit admission, and I am sure there is more, but MSM is spinning this as expected.

what a clossal intelligence failure! we should have known about this in 2003!

[satchmodog9]

Yes, here is Olbermans proof that Iraq was no threat. Blah blah.

[kimosabe31]

Importantly, though, many U.S. intelligence experts say the 12 hours of tape does not solve the riddle of whether Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction before the 2003 U.S. invasion...

It does for me Lisa.

[muawiyah]

The MSM, like the FBI, is stuck on the idea that the anthrax attack was mounted by a single person ~ a disgruntled, white male, middle-aged or younger, with knowledge of how to make WMD.

Here we have Saddam Hussein and his guys talking about the stuff and how to do it ~

[Brilliant]

The leftwing nutcases will simply say that even Saddam did not know he had no WMD.

[giobruno]

Saddam planned to use his control of Iraq (which was nearly complete) to produce weapons that terrorists could use. They would likely move through many channels before they were employed, to establish distance from Saddam, but he fully intended to help the terrorist groups that would attack us directly.

[goodnesswins]

And, Barbara Boxer was LECTURING Condoleeza Rice today about the NO WMD's failure......SHEESH.....

[P-40]

“Where was the nuclear material transported to? A number of them were transported out of Iraq.”


It's out of there now...and sitting in Oakridge, TN. Few outside of the UN are complaining.

[Williams]

That's ok, if Sadaam himself thought he had WMD, how could we be sure he didn't?

Also, I remember clearly the Iraqi nuke scientist, one of Sadaam's sons brought him centrifuges and said hide these so we can rebuild our nuke program once the UN inspectors leave. The scientist hid them under rose bushes. To me this one incident proves they planned on building nukes first chance they got.

[MikefromOhio]

Just file this away like they did with the Sarin Gas IEDs from 2004 that were never fully reported...

or the sealed bunked that we weren't allowed to get into BEFORE the war....

or well, just list them....

[Catphish]

Apparently this is just a small bit of the tapes as there is much more left to be translated, as well:

"Important to note that Brian Ross tonight on Nightline will stipulate that the Saddam tapes that intelligencesummit.org gave ABC News are just a small part of the assembled tape recordings of Saddam Hussein cabinet/staff meetings over many years. Also Brian Ross stipulates that the remaining available tapes are still undergoing translation." AmSpec Blog

Holy smokes, they're already trying to spin this story to an early grave. Four days of non-stop Cheney, but what do you want to bet this story gets buried faster than Vince Foster.

Well gee, I thought that Bush Lied, people died. I thought we knew for a fact that the WMD didn't exist. Isn't that what they've been telling us all this time?

Now that these tapes are made public, they move the goalpost and pretend that we haven't been insisting all along that the riddle had not been solved, as they claimed.

[SpaceBar]

I heard some selected parts of the translated audio on television earlier today and it became obvious to me that anyone who used the WMD card on Bush regarding the US military campaign in Iraq owes him a huge apology. There it was, in Saddam's own voice. Undeniable. The smoking gun. I then came back to earth and realized this would never happen because decorum and honor are nonexistent concepts in today's democratic party and the mainstream media. We saw it at the King funeral. They are nothing but pigs.

[Peach]

But not from Iraq (because we gave them to AQ).

[kimosabe31]

Lisa Myers writes for something called the MSNBC Investigative Unit. Anyone know of anything they have ever actually investigated? Seems all the ever do is regurgitate leftist "nose pickings" from the NYT or WP.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THIS INFORMATION PROPLE. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THIS INFORMATION. Nothing can conflict with the MSM template that Bush lied.

/s

[Anti-Bubba182]

MSM and the Democrats also have a lot invested in the idea that there were no WMDs in Iraq. The more the people believe that there were WMDs in Iraq, the bigger hit they take.
