How come it takes years to destroy something which was received from Iraq in a matter of days?
The US has an island, Mid-pacific, that was has facilities to do that quickly.
I think he was referring to the chemical weapons destroyed after the first Gulf War.
No, worse...
1) Iraq had chemical weapons
2) UN inspectors inventoried and tagged specific lots of chemical weapons for destruction
3) In 1998, Iraq kicked out the inspectors before all inventoried stockpiles were destroyed
4) Operation Desert Fox bombs a few sites with no boots on the ground to confirm destruction of anything
5) UN inspectors return to Iraq in 2002
6) UN inspectors ask about the disposition of the previously tagged stockpiles. The answers range from:
a) They were destroyed in Operation Desert Fox
b) We buried them in the desert, but we don’t know where
c) We have no record of that
7) The US invades and can’t find the previously tagged stockpiles either (because they were moved to Syria, but I digress)
8) The MSM gleefully reports that since the weapons weren’t found, Iraq never had chemical weapons in the first place. That is, Bush lied. All this despite the FACTS outlined above.
Don’t expect facts to get in the way of a liberal media trashing a conservative.
