All along, no matter what any person says, I still believe that Saddam had WMD's and that he was connected to terrorism. Maybe not directly al-Qaeda, but Islamic terrorists nonetheless.

I am also convinced that Russia had a huge hand in shipping the WMD's out of the country to Syria before the war and that the Bush administration has evidence to this nature. However, they are for some reasoning covering up all the intelligence, even though it is killing his presidency. Why? I have no idea. Is it to protect Russia? If so, why? These are all questions I wish Bush and his administration would answer for their and our country's own good.

Does it matter which branch of Islamo-facism were his favorites.

I agree with the WMDs, only I think they were either moved or dumped in the desert before the war. The bunkers with the WMD serums are a dead giveaway the Iraqi army thought he had them as well.

Ditto Mike!

Bump!
Great article, thanks for posting it.

I see crow on the future menus for many moonbats.

"Bush administration has evidence to this nature. However, they are for some reasoning covering up all the intelligence, even though it is killing his presidency..."

What did I miss in that article? I thought it clearly states that Bush wants the tapes and evidence released? Where are you getting your statement from?

Does anyone think Russia gives a damn about us. If the tapes support that Russia helped move the WMD, then burn Russia. We should be getting tired of protecting a Country that screws us every chance they get. Where are the pictures taken by the satellite showing truckloads being moved to Syria. Why are they not released. We are being let down, and by our President. I can't understand why.

[Integrityrocks]

What part of the "Bush wants them released" says our President is letting us down.

Negroponte and his staff have repeatedly expressed concern that releasing this information might embarrass our allies.

I never understand arguments like this. If you do something stupid, but think you got away with it, the tendency is to repeat the same stupid mistake. On the other hand, getting your hand slapped once just might make you think twice about doing it again. It's time for our "allies" to think twice about what they are doing and it time for W to slap Negroponte's hand and tell him to hand the stuff over or start looking for another job...seems to me the boss should have the final word.

[Nova]

How about some info on the Iraqi development of Anthrax. Why has that info been blacked-out?

[Logical me]

What part do you not understand. Where was he when he was needed? Stop excuses, he has to pay more attention to matters that are as important as this was. Instead where did he go and where was he. After the fact does not get it. Now we have to bust our butts trying to fight the battle back.

[Logical me]

Also the tapes will be just that. Jack sh@@. They should have been released when they were found. If they support the WMD theory, they look at all the time we have fought and suffered trying to support the theory when these tapes might have helped. How much longer do we have to suffer?

[Free_SJersey]

One very good reason for the delay in the documents release is in the very structure of the State Dept. Career malingerers who have no loyalty to the administration or even the country. Holding the documents enforces their power base as well as possibly containing embarrassing information on where their true loyalties are.

Someday, for the good of the country, a complete housecleaning should be done at State, Defense and just about every other government employee playground. (watch most of the leaks disappear)

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Bush's Director of National Intelligence, "owns the documents" and that DNI lawyers were deciding how they might be handled.

What the heck do lawyers have to do with this? Do they think Saddam might sue them for invasion of privacy?

Maybe they think there is stuff in there they don't want to know, like Russia's involvement.

While we are at it, where is the Barrett Report?

I'd like to suggest that freepers get back to activism. What we do best rather than arguing among ourselves.

We should write hard letters, or at least call, people who can take action on this matter. Those people would be, at a minimum, Senator McCain, Condi Rice, Karl Rove, President Bush, Senator Warner, Senator Cornyn, Senator Allen and I'm sure some others.

In those letters or phone calls, we should reference the article by name, author and title with a quick synopsis of what the article details, and then ask if Negroponte is ignoring a direct order from the President of the United States of America.

I am drafting my letter today and compiling my list.

Kristinn: Is there any way you can either copy this article and hand it out to people on the Hill, or get it to someone who will take action?

Great suggestion!

[Peach]

I have freepmailed a few freepers who I know are great activists as well as Tony Snow.

This is my project this week.

Any suggestions from you or other freepers gratefully suggested.
