IRAQ: U.S. Plans to Add to Teams to Hunt for Iraqi Weapons

Gosh, they said we'd never find proof of links to terrorists, either.

The fact that WMD were not used against our troops is not evidence that they didn't exist. A little patience on the part of the press might be in order.

But in the face of doubts like those expressed by Mr. Zilinskas, an administration official said: "Remember the quagmire that we were supposed to be in during the war? Don't start saying we're in a quagmire on the weapons. We'll find them."

Right!

Check the link at post #3.

"we don't want the United Nations running around Iraq.""

Right-o. The UN has an institutional interest in NOT finding WMD

[Maigrey]

You should have added the Doom and Gloom Alert. I couldn't stomach past the first 'graph.

[Mo1]

After the recent documents found .. The French can taken their demands and stuff it where the sun don't sun

[Mind-numbed Robot]

More liberal bs. They can't really search for weapons until the get the country pacified. They are still fighting, for God's sake. This is just the latest quagmire, bogged down, overran the supply lines, not enough troops, anti-Bush BS.

[Howlin]

The Bush administration, concerned about the failure to find unconventional weapons in Iraq, is moving to triple the size of the team searching for scientists and for incriminating lethal materials. Some officials are even saying that they are losing hope of finding actual weapons.

BS.

They've only looked at 90 sites.

[Howlin]

LOL.........that's where I stopped, too!

[GraniteStateConservative]

That chemical weapons weren't used means they had no air ability, because we owned the air. Chemical weapons against fellow Iraqis were always delivered from the sky.

[Nick Danger]

Bring in the Blixman! He'll find 'em!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

OH , Priceless!

ROFL!!

[dixiechick2000]

This operational pause is just killing me!

Oh, wait...we won.

Good to see you!

The fact that WMD were not used against our troops is not evidence that they didn't exist.

That's EXACTLY what I've been telling the liberals I debate on the net, but they wont listen. That's their logic: "If Saddam had all of these weapons, how come he didnt use them? If he had them, he would have used them."

[MadIvan]

I can predict how it will go:

1. WMD's will be found. The leftists will say they were not enough to justify an invasion.
2. WMD's will be found in increasing quantities. The leftists will say they weren't of sufficient power to justify an invasion.
3. Truly nasty WMD's will be found. The leftists will say they were too buried, out of reach or operationally ineffective.

I predict, with no real surprise, that the leftists will never acknowledge the truth, never relent, and never admit they were wrong. We see this attitude warming up among the anti-war people here on FR.

My advice to the GOP:

Declare victory over Iraq, declare the discovery of WMD, declare the discovery of Al Qaeda links.

AND BE DONE WITH IT

Asking, and waiting, for 'Rat/France/UN approval and confirmation is a fool's game.

Refuse to even discuss the question in the future.

The 'Rats will do a Florida 2000, and will be emboldened by GOP pious wimps who give voice to 'Rats inevitable doubts.

4: The leftists will accuse Bush of having planted the WMD.

I predict, with no real surprise, that the leftists will never acknowledge the truth, never relent, and never admit they were wrong. We see this attitude warming up among the anti-war people here on FR.

Agreed.

[George W. Bush]

I don't think anyone cares about WMD now. The vast majority support the war whether WMD are found or not. And the anti-war Left and the Dims won't ever like it anyway. So the WMD issue is more likely to drive the Dims to the left and make them less electable next year. That is the real import of WMD in Iraq: a hit on clueless Dims by their own anti-war activists.

Politically speaking, I'm almost hoping we find no WMD at all. Or just destroy them quietly. And then sit back and watch the Dims tear themselves apart for a while.
