Maples pressed Kelly on why details had not been included in the dossier, saying: "A dirty nuclear bomb, I would have thought, was pretty significant." Kelly said: "You cannot include everything."

WTF???

They (the government) were obviously looking for ways of making the dossier as attractive as they could, and as threatening as they could.

Huh? Oh well, there's lots of this Kelly stuff that's confusing and contradictory.

I take that to mean there would be way too much wading thru.

With evidence do you have to show it ALL to make your case?

You know the implication in the above statement suggest all the gov't was doing was lying about everything so they had to doctor up the dossier.

Who here believes the gov't was lying about Iraq and it's WMD?

Dirty bombs scare the hell out of me. Easier to make and use, and sufficiently devastating. I put 'em at the top of the list of 'most likely' WMD's.

During evidence to the foreign affairs select committee in July, in remarks which have been largely overlooked, Kelly told John Maples, a former Conservative spokesman on defence and foreign affairs: "On one inspection that I led ... the acknowledgment was made by General Fahi Shaheen, together with Brigadier Hassan (two senior Iraqi weapons specialists), that they had undertaken experiments with radiological weapons in 1987."

Maples asked: "Do you think that is true?" to which Kelly replied: "Undoubtedly it is true."

Maples pressed Kelly on why details had not been included in the dossier, saying: "A dirty nuclear bomb, I would have thought, was pretty significant." Kelly said: "You cannot include everything."

Let alone the difficulties involed with tracking down the source of it.

Very interesting. Where is Kelly's amassed evidence now? I hope GWB and Condoleeza have full access to it. Is Blair sharing?

I wonder what else Dr. Kelly mentioned in his appearance that the media missed.

Scientists, Inspectors, Intelligence agents (see the Italians and "forged" documents), State Dept. losers attempting to control matters of war and peace. How utterly frightening!

Why have elections when we can be ruled, I mean over-ruled by these backstabbing bureaucrats?

The CIA
is unable to corroborate the uranium story.
is unable to locate Bin Laden, Hussein, or WMDs.
is unable to predict or stop 9/11.
is unable to predict the complete economic collapse of the Soviet Union.

We won't even go to the Arab slurping Foggy Bottom.

See a trend here?

It's time to purge all of these "institutions."

Bring back the Illuminati.





Just kidding
about the Illuminati part.

Becareful what you wish for. Rumsfeld bungled and did not secure nuclear waste and storage locations and they were looted pretty much as American troops sat back and watched.
