He had the weapons, then poof—he didn’t have them.
Moved to Syria by the Russians while Bush did his unnecessary dance with the UN for the year leading up to the war.

“Did Saddam Hussein have weapons of mass destruction?” correspondent Bob Simon asked at the top of the program. “No, he did not. We’ve known that for some time now.

What a lie.

Exactly. Why doesn’t CBS ask the Kurds whether they think Saddam had WMD?

The war was never contingent upon the existence of WMDs. The onus was on Saddam to verify disarmament. Saddam did not. End of story.

"First paragraph talks about mobile weapons labs....we found 2 of these things right at the beginning of the war.."

Which Saddam said were mobile "food testing labs" - and the media said this must be true, and then a British "expert" who never saw them claimed were "mobile weather testing stations" - and which the media and the rest of the left chose to take as gospel. Lotta need for small, mobile weather testing stations in a tropical, typhoon-tsunami-prone area like Iraq? (/sarcasm)

Anything to hurt President Bush.

As for "no massive stockpiles" of WMD, WME WERE found; just not massive stockpiles of them. "Experts" were citied as saying well, you can kill insects with them, so they can't be chemical weapons and the idiot public still believes that crock of $hit.

Saddam didn't need huge stockpiles except to keep the public under it's boot, and for that just the rumor of their existence must have been enough. He only really needed a few dozen. As I ask people at every opportunity, how many WMD do you really need when you only need to use one to make your point? And Saddam's regime used more than one over the years.

How can anyone read this story and not conclude that the media operates as a propaganda branch for the DNC.

“No, he did not. We’ve known that for some time now”

Sure he did. Just ask the dead Kurd’s.

I have friends in MI units that found a few of these units around Iraq. Yes, as we have seen in the MSM media, they indeed had been gutted. But to deny they were never operational?

To quote the XO from one of the units, "If these where not mobile facilities for WMD manufacturer, than Sadam had the most sophisticated mobile breweries known to man".

60 minutes is just entertainment tonight for the book reader/writer crowd.

The only thing they do is sell books produced by their publishing house.

Thanks to the Way Back Machine aka Web, the lying MSM has reached a point where they will be unable to sustain their treasonous lies for much longer. The 2008 campaign may well see the MSM crash accelerate quickly.
Bye, Bye MSM American Lies.
