Saddam Hussein's Iraq had weapons of mass death

Like chanting Buddhist monks, the president's critics repeat 100 times daily: "Bush Lied _ People Died." The "lie," of course, is that Saddam Hussein possessed Weapons of Mass Death. "There were none," Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., told colleagues June 21. "They were not there." Absent such munitions, the argument goes, U.S. involvement in Iraq is nothing but a blood-soaked misadventure unfolding on a collapsed facade of falsehoods.

Nevertheless, while the liberal press gently sleeps, evidence continues to mount that Saddam had WMDs, though perhaps not in quantities that would bulge warehouses.

"Since 2003 Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent," states a June 21 declassified summary of a report from the National Ground Intelligence Center. "Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."

Are these weapons old and inert? The Pentagon unit warns, "While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal."

Nevertheless, while the liberal press gently sleeps, evidence continues to mount that Saddam had WMDs, though perhaps not in quantities that would bulge warehouses.

Considering that some of these weapons are potent enough that a single drop the size of a grain of salt can kill by skin contact alone, I wouldn't think it would take bulging warehouses to make people nervous.

If we really had the opportunity, we would find quite a few of them in Syria. What we have found, and all the supporting evidence in documentation, says enough. Even if we found a hydrogen bomb there, the libs would say Bush planted it....

[LegendHasIt]

I have a feeling that some from Saddam's REAL WMD stashes in Syria are about to be unleashed.

Hope I'm wrong (about the unleashing part).

Here's another good article on this

I am old NBC specialist (54E3X) and I too can attest to the fact that most chemical weapons will test as insecticides.

I don't know why the administration isn't shouting this from the rooftops. Is it because the identity of the suppliers of these weapons would embarass our so-called "allies," specifically France and Russia?

Have you seen the video of convoys from Iraq to Syria?
They were'nt delivering donuts.

[ikez78]

woops, sorry

[ikez78]

Are videos publicly available?

[noodler]

Lib-'rats see what they want.Others must see what they don't want to see.

Yes and very telling. I always contended, as many did, that the "midnight trains" to Syria were running hourly getting WMDs and materials for WMDs out of Iraq into Syria. What was equally incriminating was the help the Freakin'Frogs were giving and making sure that telltale signs of their complicity with Saddam was also being rushed out of the country, including people. They stink so bad.

[noodler]

I'm not sure you are going to get a video there.Something exists,xxxxxxxprobably but to have revealed while the rats were chewing the doors off would have hampered the strategy of decision taken by that knowledge.Someday,someday we'll be at a point where much will be revealed like being bit on the butt by 'rats while working 24/7 to defend them.

Again. Why would the Iraqi Airforce mount special spray units on a MiG21, then bury it in the sand, when the invasion was on. And where our soldiers lying about finding syringes, gas masks, and vials of atropine at weapon bunkers. Why where so many drums of un-identified insecticides/pesticides found in amoung ordance bunkers that carried binary shells along with standard French 155mm artilery shells.
Of what use would funny looking grey tubes with multiple valves welded on the ends have sitting next to mortar and artilery shells in ordnance bunkers (made incidentally in Yugoslavia).
The list is long.
The liberal press sleep out of convienance.

You said it.We're just talking to ourselves.There were observations posted here years ago of tracks all over where the semi's were pulling stuff out right and left and you could see the tracks leading to Syria even though they tried to mask it.Why would you try to mask milk delivery?Heavy tracks.Multiple tracks.Certainly ap reported the name of any witness and he was buried long ago.Like Arkansaw in the '90's but worse.

[FreedomPoster]

That's the only explanation I can imagine.

[Marine_Uncle]

"You said it.We're just talking to ourselves."
Of course your 100% accurate in that statement. I just throw a few things out on occasions to remind some, perhaps those of us that are newer sign ups, that lots of things where found, and classified as wmd's as military rolled across Iraq in those early days, as well as all the Sat photos and Intel L/MSM used to write about in all kinds of details prior to GWB getting elected the first time around.

And insecticides, used in concentration, can be used a chemical agents, too! :)
