Nothing to see here people - we all know Saddam had thousands of WMD scientists to build no WMDs. We all know that Saddam ordered his WMD scientists to keep extremely detailed documents on WMD tests on weapons that never existed. We all know that Saddam refused to cooperate with WMD inspectors for 10+ years because he had no WMDs in the first place. We know that Saddam gave orders to fire WMDs which never really existed. We all know that Saddam went to great lengths to hide a WMD program that never existed. Move along people.

I can't wait to see Blather and Pissey on life support -- figuratively and literally. I would love to be the first to urinate into their feeding tubes.

Ping!

[aruanan]

the painstaking investigation currently being undertaken by Lord Hutton into whether the British Government exaggerated the threat posed by Saddam

Gee. I wonder what motivates old Lord Hutton?

" from the deals they did with foreign governments "

I also found that phrase to be interesting. Most of us have suspected that there has been a concerted effort to discredit this information - maybe we'll find out.

If you take this report and pair it with the reports that have come out how the US Millitary were in secret negotiation with Iraqi Generals, which is why we had so little resistance compared to what could have happened, as well as our puposely leaving Bagdad TV on the air so these Generals could send cover messages...there is a probable conclusion here...

What the US said to these Generals was "If you fire a WMD at us, we will NUKE you and ALL your country!" The Generals believed the threat as real (for once, they were right), and stood down and did not fire.

Saddam got pissed (remember, he killed his General of the Iraqi Air Force for "Gross Incompetence" or some such...) and had his Republican Guard/Baathist toadies collect the field WMDs, as well as his in process stuff, and had it shipped thru Syria to the Bekka Valley in Lebanon!

Now, we watch that area to see who makes an attempt to retrieve it, and let the IAF take them out!

Makes sense, no?

Bump

I agree with you. And I'd put in a few cents for some Russian involvement as well.

[arasina]

Make sure you get video. LOL!

Interesting, even though it's Debka.

"In addition to sifting through and collating mountains of paper, Kay team scouts are also crisscrossing Iraq to examine sites and test tips received from local “human intelligence”, which has proliferated since the deaths of Uday and Qusay Hussein in Mosul on July 22. They are pinpointing unmarked mass graves scattered around Iraq from which more than 300,000 bodies of Saddam’s victims have thus far been disinterred.

One of the most horrendous discoveries so far is the secret graveyard of convicts abused as human guinea pigs of Saddam’s illegal programs. Kay sent a special team out to Baquba, northeast of Baghdad after a collection of videotapes was discovered in Iraqi central intelligence archives, on some of which Iraqi officers talked freely with dates and locations about prisoners and detainees subjected to biological and chemical weapons experiments. Some involved toxic chemicals or gases; others were infected with germs in varying quantities, their symptoms recorded from stage to stage until their death."
