I never heard ricin or botulinum mentioned in this PBS article reported by David Kay.

Interview with David Kay PBS Chasing Saddam’s Weapons

This news report must have fallen into a black hole somewhere?

[x_plus_one]

MSNBC is nearly dead.

[armymarinemom]

Yes they are. We should give this a daily bump just for an old memory.

[jveritas]

I have no doubt that Saddam regime was actively working on producing the Precursors to make WMD in particular Chemical Weapons and that these Precursors and the equipments related to it are buried somewhere in the Anbar province.

[jveritas]

Absolutely true.

[april15Bendovr]

Ricin and Botulinum are mentioned in the text of the David Kay report to Congress

"MSNBC is nearly dead."

Doesn't Crazy Chris have a motto for exposing the truth?

[april15Bendovr]

We need to get a response from the abandonment from Iraq and ignore evidence Ron Paul crowd.

MSNBC Confirms Pre-War Al Queda Camp in Iraq Tests Positive For Bio/Chem weapons

********************EXCERPT*************************

Positive test for terror toxins in Iraq
Evidence of ricin, botulinum at Islamic militants’ camp
By EXCLUSIVE By Preston Mendenhall
MSNBC

Now, let’s face it…Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews aren’t gonna change their minds and suddenly face the reality that Saddam’s regime was willing to work with AQ groups, did work with AQ groups and leaders, and the threat of the so-called “Nexus of Evil” connection even existed.

Captured members of Al Queda groups from this same camp claim that they were assisted, trained, supplied, and funded by Saddam’s IIS as well as taking orders from Saddam’s IIS.

Captured documents confirm their claims.

Captured regime members confirm their claims.

Now even highly anti-war/pro-Democrat MSNBC confirms the claim itself.

Al Queda leaders confirm the claims (Zawahiri and Zarqawi specifically).

Why believe “Bush Lied”?  Because it’s easier to believe that the solution to today’s problems can be solved by changing a circle to a dot on a ballot than it is to face the real and scary threat as well as own up to the failures of the past.

And in 2008 we have this tFR Thread:

Al Qaeda Document: Zarqawi Came to Iraq Before The War To Prepare The Fight Against U.S

***********************EXCERPT INTRO*********************

Al Qaeda document | March 16 2008 | jveritas

Posted on Sun 16 Mar 2008 02:49:59 PM PDT by jveritas

On February 17 2008, Al-Ekhlaas which is the largest terrorist forum on the internet published an Al Qaeda document that talks about the life of Abou Musaab Al Zarqawi and indicates that Zarqawi came to Iraq before the war to prepare the terrorist insurgency against the US troops. According to the document Zarqawi arrived to the Sunni areas in central Iraq. This document was written by one of Al Qaeda top leaders called “Saif Al Adel”.

There were many accounts about Zarqawi presence in Iraq before the war in particular in Northern Iraq with “Ansar Al Islam” an active Al Qaeda affiliated terrorist group that was present in the Kurdish areas of Iraq long before the war started. The document also proves that Ansar Al Islam helped Al Qaeda members establish themselves in Iraq before the war started.

The author of the document wrote that there were no relations between Saddam regime and Al Qaeda but this does not negate at all the most important fact that Al Qaeda was in Iraq before the war for the sole purpose of preparing for its most important front to fight the U.S and it is now in Iraq where Al Qaeda is suffering its most crushing defeat since its existence.

It is very important to note that despite the author of the document denial of a relationship between Saddam regime and Al Qaeda it does not mean that Saddam regime was not aware of Al Qaeda presence in Iraq. In fact the documents clearly points out that Zarqawi went to the Sunni areas in Central Iraq before the war and these areas were totally controlled and loyal to Saddam regime and it very hard to imagine that Zarqawi stayed and prepared his terrorist sleepers cells in these Sunni areas without the approval of Saddam regime.

El-Ekhlaas terrorist forum is a password protected so you cannot access the document unless you are registered there as a member.

Below is a partial translation of Al Qaeda document written by “Saif Al Adel”.

… " We started the work and the contact with the leadership, and we began to support and help the leadership again, and this was our goal after we left Afghanistan. We began establishing the fighter groups. On one hand to return to Afghanistan and conduct planned operations there, and on the other hand we began to study the situation of the groups and bothers to find new places for them. After long discussions, brother Abou Mussab with his Palestinian and Jordanian companions decided to go to Iraq because of their dialects they can quickly mix and assimilate in the Iraqi society. Our analysis was that the Americans were going to make the mistake sooner or later to invade Iraq, that this invasion will lead to the fall of the regime, and that we should play an important role in the confrontation and resistance, and that this is our historical chance to establish the Islamic State who will have the biggest role in removing injustice and establish justice in this world allah willing. I was in agreement with brother Abou Mussab regarding this analysis. There were no relation between Al Qaeda and Saddam regime that is worth mentioning, as opposite to what the Americans are saying so they can create excuse and legal justifications according to their laws that they imposed on the world that is enslaved by the West, the Israelis and the Anglo-Saxons.

The plan was to have our brothers enter Iraq from the North, where the road is not controlled y the regime, and then go down South to the Sunni areas where we have some of our brothers. Also the brothers in “Ansar Al Islam” showed their willingness to give us any help to achieve this goal.

The Americans noticed that the Iranians were having a blind eye against our activities in Iran so they began a media attack against Iran accusing them of helping Al Qaeda and international terrorism. The steps taken by the Iranians had confused us and had caused 75% of our plans to fail. Many of our comrades were arrested. 80% of Abou Musaab Al Zarqawi group members were arrested. There should be a quick plan to arrange the escape of Zarqawi and the remaining of his group, the destination was Iraq and the route was the Northern borders between Iraq and Iran. The goal was to reach the Sunni areas in central Iraq and the beginning of the preparation to confront the US invasion and defeat it allah willing. The choice was not arbitrary but a studied one.

When he said goodbye to me leaving for Iraq, Abou Musaab has added a new dimension to his personality. This new dimension focused on punishing the Americans for the crimes that they committed in their bombing of Afghanistan and that he witnessed in his own eyes, the hate and hostility that Abou Mussab had for the Americans guaranteed to form new traits to Abou Musaab personality."

End of partial translation.

NBC ping - that’s Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

This is clearly untrue. MSNBC’s own Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews have told us over and over again there are no chemical weapons in Iraq. The whole Iraq war was based on a lie, don’t you remember?

Therefore, to prove the truthfulness of their position, I recommend that both Keith and Chris should travel to Iraq to be immediately exposed to these so-called chemicals.

Their continued good health will prove once and for all that Bush Lied, People Died...

[G8 Diplomat]

Bioterrorism is their next weapon.

Next year I’m taking a class on this subject....how timely.

[freema]

More here (per last ping) including translation of al Qaeda document.

Thank you, Ernest.

[Marine_Uncle]

Eventually it will become widespread known that the Intel was right from the beginning regarding Iraq's bio/chem/nuclear clandestine programs.
What gripes me is that so much the clowns in the L/MSM may now re-iterate on, was known from day one. But what the hell. Better late then never. It will shut the democrats lying mouths during a critical juncture in time.
I have a suspicion the L/MSM is going to turn against Body Odor, and just let things play out for McPain to get the vote.
There are to many hot issues that are not going to go away, and they don't want some half assed democrat to take the blame in eight years for not doing anything right.
