Oh come on. The second paragraph in this article proves the headline to be a lie. To say that SH destroyed or moved the weapons before the war is not to admit that they were not there. How could they be moved or destroyed if they were not there in the first place?
Time we all accepted the truth. Iraq can absolutely prove it destroyed every one of the weapons it never had. Can't deny it any more.
Sorry, this doesn't pass the smell test. Could be wrong, but I still have the very strong feeling that a comprehensive report listing the chemical, bio, and nuclear items already found will in a number of weeks be presented to the UN and the world press. The pattern with this administration is to quietly let their opponents stake out positions and then sharply pull the rug out.
There have been lots of reports of buried chemical drums, geiger counters going off-scale, and bio materials showing up in the oddest places (like Egyptian cargo vessels off the Canadian coast) and then no follow up information. Something is going on and I highly doubt that it involves Saddam Hussein being given a "clean bill of health".
The press seem to expect that the administration will wave a big red flag every time they come across WMD materials. After all, that is exactly what Clinton would have done. I think they still have no understanding of just how clever the crew now in the White House (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and even Powell) is.
Have you ever wondered if the reliable sources and Senior officials that are spoken about in these types of stories are just restroom attendants wanting to make a buck?
