I just wish the Bush would go on prime time TV and announce this to the entire world.

I don't think there is enough proof yet
I've said it before, but all that I can think of is that this may be a trump card waiting to be played in 2006. It will face extra scrutiny for being played then, of course.
I'm baffled, and the media has just been hush-hush about the whole thing. Compare that to the reaction to the Downey Street memo. This should be a colossal story.
I'm also a little curious in all of this. Remember how Putin revealed that Saddam Hussein had plans to attack the United States and US targets post-9/11? Why would he come public with this knowing that eventually he would probably be busted for helping smuggle weapons out of the country? And why would he allow weapons to be smuggled out of the country in the first place?
With all due respect, Pat, if you have to ask this question as anything more than a rhetorical device, you shouldn't be a political columnist.
I hope this pans out as much as anyone, but can't we do better than an article by Pat Boone in WND?
This isn't Pat Boone the "singer", is it??
We have the very best team (including Condi Rice, who knows more about Russia than just about anyone) working on our behalf.
That we need to be the eyes and ears of all things suspicious looking, that happen in our own neighborhoods, and not be the least bit hesitant to report these happenings/people to the authorities.
And, my tag line...
It is possible that Putin had no knowledge of this, but I doubt it. I think the more likely scenario is that Putin arranged for this to be done in such a way as to give him plausible deniability.
Saddam didn't move the WMD to keep the US from knowing that he had them. That knowledge was a given. He moved the WMD in order to keep CONTROL(!) of it! As things turned out, he's out, over, and on trial. But, he didn't see it this way at the time. The RATS/Left/MSM are only showing their treasonous intent.
"I just wish the Bush would go on prime time TV and announce this to the entire world."
I believe Bush is saving his political capital as an inheritance that he can bequeath to his politcal successors in 2008.
Marking.
Yes, it is. Clink on the link to WND under the headline.
I'm going to go bald if I keep scratching my head wondering who the hell, in the white house, is holding the President back from blasting this all over the media. Yeah, the Media would not do it on their own but if the President was in front of the cameras for any reason at all he could make this statement. I'm wondering just how much proof they have of this, perhaps not enough "concrete" evidence???
iirc, many folks on FR were suggesting that we'd eventually find that the WMD were moved to Syria, and made those suggestions oh... two years ago?
too early to be definitive (it will be too early until we have significant material proof in hand) but... ping.
Yes, he's a terrific writer, isn't he.
I'd sure like to see him take on the CA Democrats.
We didnt go to war in Iraq only because of WMD. The WMD point was that we should invade Iraq sooner rather than later. We went to Iraq because of Saddam's failure to comply with the cease fire agreement and because of his connections with Al Qaeda. To keep focusing on WMD and ignore the 911 Commission's connecting Saddam with Al Qaeda only helps the left.
