We live in an age of documents. There are no more secrets, only deferred disclosures.
Saddam Hussein's secret documents are measured by the shelf-mile and stored inside a secure but dusty facility near U.S. Central Command Headquarters in Doha, Qatar, and in several subsidiary sites.
Armed guards protect the unread dossiers. Three shifts of two hundred translators each work around the clock. Perhaps 5% of these captured documents have been studied so far, but their contents are about to shatter much of the conventional wisdom concerning Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.
The absolutists on either side of the WMD debate will be more than a bit chagrinned at the disclosures. The documents show a much more complex history than previously suspected. The "Bush lied, people died" chorus has insisted that Saddam had no WMD whatsoever after 1991 - and thus that WMD was no good reason for the war. The Neocon diehards insist that, as in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the treasure-trove is still out there somewhere, buried under the sand dunes of Iraq.
Each side is more than a little bit wrong about Saddam's WMD, and each side is only a little bit right about what happened to it.

“Three years ago, I viewed DOE pictures of yellow cake in plastic barrows marked “NIGER” that were found in a facility near the Syrian border.
Yellow cake is U3O8 - the important part is the “U” which stands for Uranium. U3O8 is the feed stock for UF6 which is use in gaseous diffusion enrichment of Uranium; and since Iraq has no nuclear reactors, I highly doubt Saddam was going to enrich Uranium as and additive for toothpaste.
You do the math!”
Oh you mean that 500 tons of yellowcake that was just “there”?
The WMD’s are not in Syria.
They are either in the Bekaa Valley, or somewhere in Russia
In any case, I figure there are some somewhere, at least the key components for them; I've never backed down on that, just a hunch, and I don't feel like a kook for thinking that despite what the rest of the world thinks. If I ultimately turn out to be wrong, well then it wouldn't be the first time.
Indeed, remember this?

But hey, the liberal media put it out to help W for the election. /s

Bekaa Valley is in Lebanon, and is a hezbollah and hamas stronghold.
The dang place looks like a prarie dog colony with all the damn caves there
The goofball in syria is crazy, but not that crazy to have such a hot potato as Iraqi WMD’s in his country.
At least he has deniability in this.

BTTT!
BTTT!
Remember, CNN also. They dummed down and lied for Saddam to keep an office there. Yep, the network that shows snipers killing our troops.
Merry Christmas to you and all!
Now, a question to you and all others who speak of refuting the "baloney". (And my opinion is that the WMD's went to Syria). Did not GWB himself, and others in his administration finally flip over to the "no wmd's" crowd on more than one occasion?
Just as history is currently being REVISED, we will be able to set it straight again.
As long as the truth is recorded somewhere, it is not lost.
Insecticides?
During the invasion, wasn’t our troops finding rather large stockpiles of 55 gallon drums full of insecticides on military bases?
I remember that a lot of people thought that it was odd that they had so much insecticide stockpiled, especially on military bases.
Yes I remember this one as well.
If memory serves, our troops found, “Insecticides,” in the warheads of missiles.
