[faq]

Thanks for posting. The failure of the government to bring this information to the public has caused our country great damage. I can only assume the silence was originally caused by a group of people in the CIA and military who like to keep secrets combined with at least a few moonbats in key positions who don’t mind damaging US credibility for their own political reasons.

Its too late now but Bush should have seen the bigger overall picture of international credibility and overridden secrecy concerns. I see no possible reason for withholding information about already captured weapons. If Bill Clinton was still President he would have held that press conference personally. Instead, we had Rick Santorum read notes from a one page declassified John Negroponte letter and it was picked apart by the partisan press and quickly forgotten.

thanks faq for the eloquent post. I am not in the regular practice of writing long explanations for things.
Everything I can dig up stops at state department.

I even followed the money and who awarded the contracts.

However the why part still remains.

I am at a loss why someone says that a chem bomb is old means that it is not legit.

Saddam was not supposed to have any chem weapons. If the UN teams cleared tuwaitha previously, then where were the old bombs stored before they were moved to tuwaitha. Fact is there is no innocent explanation for the presence of chem weapons at a nuke lab that the Iraqis claimed was doing peaceful nuclear work.

The place was a high priority for saddam given the hundreds of small details in the photos I did not point out due to time limits imposed by YouTube.
