Sorry, but I have to disagree with this "translation".
There is major evidence that things are not being conducted in the open that should be.
Look what it took to even get the Administration to even release the info on the 500 rounds of Sarin and mustard gas we located. I have thought long and hard about the cover argument that we don't want to tip the terrorists off to the existence of massive unlocated stockpiles that they just have to persuade some Saddam military people into giving over...and 'oila, they have what we feared. Frankly, it is likely they knew already....because we have now found from troves of documents the tremendous degree of interaction between Iraqi intelligence and security forces and Al-Queda. It would be foolish to assume they never discussed the WMD stash available for use against the "common enemy." It would also explain in part, why Osama Bin Laden did follow through with his treaty with Saddam to join the war against the U.S. in Iraq. They know, they have to know, a lot of those WMDs are still there...just buried.
We need to get there first. Which I assume we agree on. This should not be left to chance.
And from what I have seen, if we actually do a serious inspection of the four sites, this guy's "embarassment factor" goes down a whole heck of a lot. But leaving him twisting there just makes it that much worse...for us. It makes it look like we never were seriously looking at all.
The Liberals and drive by media are looking at the Duefler report as the final report.
Look at this article for example at CNN
Report: No WMD stockpiles in Iraq
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/10/06/iraq.wmd.report/
What year was the Duefler report released?
What the military has found and what Duefler has reported seem to be two very different things.
I wont hang my hat on what Duelfer or UNSCOM weapons inspectors have reported. They both lost the cat and mouse game in Iraq.
Anyone would be foolish to put all thier eggs in the same basket in any discovery of WMD's.
Do you think that too many military commanders would have egg on their faces if they were indeed present where indicated, is this causing the inertia to ignore the information?
One would think that all of these sites had been examinied, especially if the CIA had interviewed him.
Well, lets go there , with pick and shovel and see what we can rustle up?
lol.
