Man Says He Has Proof Of Possible WMD's In Iraq
Jack Fink Reporting
(CBS 11 News) DENTON A Denton man says the United States was premature in calling off the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
He was one of a handful of people who helped the U.S. military in its search, and says he's concerned about four sites in Iraq that he knows were not searched.
Dave Gaubatz, who is a retired military counter-terrorism agent, believes biological and chemical weapons could be buried at the four sites in Iraq.
The now chief investigator for the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office disputes the U.S.'s previous findings that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before the war.
When the Iraq war began in March, 2003, Gaubatz was one of a half dozen Americans assigned by the Pentagon to look for weapons of mass destruction.
On his website, Gaubatz claims there are four sites in Iraq, that were never inspected, that he believes may have biological and chemical weapons.
"It should have been out three years ago. I've been pushing for three years to get the sites inspected,” Gaubatz said.
At the end of 2004, when President Bush announced the search for weapons of mass destruction was over, Gaubatz said it wasn't over for him.
“I just raised my hand and I said too many people risked their lives to go in at the beginning of the war to identify sites."
Gaubatz claims when he left Iraq in July of 2003, he told his commanders to inspect those four sites in southern Iraq.
“The four I identified were the ones multiple people, Iraqis, told me had fresh chemical and biological weapons,” Gaubatz said.
In February and March, Gaubatz says he met with two republican congressmen, Curt Weldon, of Pennsylvania, and Peter Hoekstra, of Michigan, who put him in touch with intelligence agencies.
On Wednesday and Thursday of last week, Gaubatz says he met with two officers of the CIA, and another two officers of the Defense Intelligence Agency, at the Dallas FBI building. He says he presented his report, and pinpointed the four unsearched locations.
Gaubatz says he will keep his website open until the government searches the sites. While he can't guarantee weapons are at the sites, he says if they are there, he wouldn't want them to end up in the wrong hands.
We just heard about 500 chemical artillery shells found there!

Is the WMD story starting to get legs?
The dude looks (if you'll forgive me) a little kooky and I think they're trying to say that anyone who thinks there are WMD in Iraq is a little kooky.
MSM spin to make Santorum look like this dude.
And I'm not saying he's kooky, but the site looks horrible. May sound trite, but there it is.
I do too.
Not with the Democrats. Snakes dont have legs
Hmmmm
The WMDs are being hidden for a reason....to keep China, Russia, France and to a lesser extent Germany from looking like money-mad idiots for supplying Saddam with all the WMD capabilities.
We can't make sixty percent of the UN Security Council really mad at us for telling the truth, now can we?
US out of the UN, UN out of the US!
... that haven't been useful for a decade. It wasn't exactly a smoking gun that he's been actively looking for WMDs since after the Gulf War.
Sarin in binary form lasts almost forever. Mustard gas degrades slowly. So, what exactly are you talking about?
I guess that depends? Would you write somebody off if they had a good website?
Sorry but I have to plat the devils advocate.
sorry make that "Play"
Thus, the headline for the CBS-11 article would seem to be misleading.
