Desperate evil men will do desperate evil things. We should expect a WMD attack to whatever degree Saddam's forces can deliver one.

"KSFO radio in San Francisco just reported uranium was found hidden in a swimming pool north of Baghdad. I do not know if it is true, I just know KSFO reported it."

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Whose show was this on? Where did they get the info from. This is a new one on me. YIKES!

The media is slowly raising the bar on "the smoking gun". Remember, they believed th UN and Hans Blix's assertion inspections would work. Don't be surprised if, after VX gas and anthrax is found, some ABCNNMSNBC reporter asks "but what about a smoking gun".

I am serious, in that it was reported on the Lee Rogers/Melanie Morgan show. I think that all Melanie said, was that it was reported to her. Where the reporting person got it, I don't know.
