Ping to me
still the mantra.
time to ship some of those mustard and sarin gas containers over here and put them on the desks in the hallowed halls of congress - so that they can 'examine' them - after all, they're harmless.
and just what the heck is that sentence meant to convey - except as another thinly disguised inference that he's lying - again...
Well, at least the Post is admitting that the NYT and the MSM are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Democrat Party.

The 500 munitions discovered throughout Iraq since 2003 and discussed in a National Ground Intelligence Center report meet the criteria of weapons of mass destruction, the center's commander said here today.
"These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.

Good. Go get em president Bush! The rodents are sorely in need of a smack down.
"there is "no excuse" for journalists to write about secret intelligence programs."
If this is so, why is the President not charging them in a court of law instead of in the court of public opinion? He's the one who can stop them from doing it again--there is 'no excuse' for him to demagogue on the issue when he can, by empaneling a grand jury, simply prosecute them and settle the matter as it should be settled.
If he and Rove plan this fall to be a choice between the Times and the President, that'll be about as valuable as the flag burning amendment. There is no traction in either issue in a populace concerned about more weighty federal matters, and aware of the Presidential power to charge the Times if he believes what he's saying.
He's back and this is the beginning of his thrashing of clinochhio on the campaign trail. The "experts" that are telling candidates that they should avoid W are morons.
He could get a lot sharper in his criticisms, IMHO.
I seem to recall the Polish forces discovering lots of anti-tank missiles with dates and french stencilling on them. I think the photos were also removed from further press releases to not embarrass france. Am I correct?
Chemical munitions found by Polish soldiers were being pursued by terrorists
MONIKA SCISLOWSKA, Associated Press Writer
Friday, July 2, 2004
Terrorists may have been close to obtaining munitions containing the deadly nerve agent cyclosarin that Polish soldiers recovered last month in Iraq, the head of Poland's military intelligence said Friday.
Polish troops had been searching for munitions as part of their regular mission in south-central Iraq when they were told by an informant in May that terrorists had made a bid to buy the chemical weapons, which date back to Saddam Hussein's war with Iran in the 1980s, Gen. Marek Dukaczewski told reporters in Warsaw.
"We were mortified by the information that terrorists were looking for these warheads and offered $5,000 apiece," Dukaczewski said. "An attack with such weapons would be hard to imagine. All of our activity was accelerated at appropriating these warheads."
Dukaczewski refused to give any further details about the terrorists or the sellers of the munitions, saying only that his troops thwarted terrorists by purchasing the 17 rockets for a Soviet-era launcher and two mortar rounds containing the nerve agent for an undisclosed sum June 23.
In May, a booby-trapped artillery shell apparently filled with the sarin nerve agent exploded alongside a Baghdad road but caused no serious injuries to the U.S. forces who discovered it. At the time, officials stopped short of claiming the munition was definite evidence of a large weapons stockpile in prewar Iraq or evidence of recent production by Saddam's regime.
The warheads all contained cyclosarin, multinational force commander Polish Gen. Mieczyslaw Bieniek said.
"Laboratory tests showed the presence in them of cyclosarin, a very toxic gas, five times stronger than sarin and five times more durable," Bieniek told Poland's TVN24 at the force's Camp Babylon headquarters.
"If these warheads, which were still usable, were used on a military base like Camp Babylon, they would have caused unforeseeable damage."
The tests were done by U.S. experts, who were conducting more.
The munitions were found in a bunker in the Polish sector, but Polish officials refused to be more specific.
Call 'em cut and runners and Quislings and watch them whine and slime.
Whatever happened to that little scientist who had the nuke components buried in his garden? He said Saddam had the stuff buried all over the country, waiting for the sanctions to be lifted. NO ONE ever remembers or mentions him.
