Maddening for sure, but not unexpected.
Ping to you, eyespysomething, in case you haven't see this yet.

I'd be curious to put this in context of who was at the meeting etc.

I just read an article (wish I could find it) that said Sadaams own generals believed he had WND because that is what he wanted everyone to believe. Not which is it???? Guess these imbeciles can'r keep their lies straight.

"The newly released documents...dating from about 1996-97 back to the period soon after the 1991 Gulf War...." This is shoddy journalism or worse to make conclusions on just these documents. There have been translations of documents from 1998 into the 2000's that provide a better picture of what Saddam was doing. Shame on you, AP!!!

Actually, I think they did not draw a conclusion, but rather mentioned that everyone else has.

"We played by the rules of the game," Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz said at a session in the mid-1990s. "In 1991, our weapons were destroyed." Except for the huge caches found in 1994...
And if they complied, why are stocks that were known to exist missing? Secretly destroying them is a violation of the cease-fire agreement.

Amazing. The overt distortion and agenda driven spinCan you imagine what our country would be like if the MSM actually reported the news AS IS? Think how people would get along, how united we'd be.

OK boys, we're taping this for the news. Make it sound real. Remember: we had no WMD. Be believable, but don't make it too obvious that you know this is being taped. And if you forget your lines, just motion for the next official to continue.
To: Frank T
The fact that Hussein's regime had no large arsenal is irrelevant. The unknown, the *threat* of it, existed, and the regime acted as if it had something to hide.Due to the outcome of the Gulf War, there was the right to demand open door access. Playing games with inspectors is equivalent to having WMD.
The media hasn't ever taken and won't ever take this as part of the truth of the situation. I am nauseated by this AP piece.
To: Wasanother
I guess while they accuse the President of cherry picking intelligence they are going to cherry pick documents? Pithy. Great line.

Let's see if we can improve that first line:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Exasperated, besieged by global pressure, Saddam Hussein and top aides searched for ways in the 1990s to prove to bamboozle the world (into thinking) they'd given up banned weapons.
To: libertarianPA
Sounds like the press is trying to make Saddam a victim.

Thanks Chena! The only thing Hussein was frustrated about was trying to get the sanctions lifted so he could start 'em up!

So why did Bill Clinton pass the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998?
