Don't Be Surprised When Iraqi WMD Found
April 20, 2004
I don't know if you heard about this, because it has not been widely reported. Terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda were poised to detonate a chemical bomb in the heart of Amman, Jordan, that would have killed 20,000 people and contaminated a large area. King Abdullah praised Jordan's intelligence service for foiling a crime never before seen in the kingdom of Jordan. The target was a headquarters of the general intelligence department on a hill in Amman.
King Abdullah was to be in America to meet with President Bush, but decided not to come because of this threat. Where this story gets interesting is that King Abdullah of Jordan says that the vehicles carrying these explosives, the chemical bomb, were smuggled over the border from neighboring Syria. Syria is denying this, but these are weapons of mass destruction.
Syria is a transit point for weapons of mass destruction. The whole subject of where are the weapons of mass destruction remains a focal point of mine. It remains an area of heightened curiosity, because I do not believe that they have been destroyed. I do not believe that Iraq never had them. I think Iraq had them. I think Iraq was working on them. I don't think the world's intelligence agencies are as woefully incompetent and bad and inept as the whole weapons of mass destruction issue would lead us to believe.
There are some things missing from buildings in Iraq, and there's too much speculation out there about how some of this stuff can be miniaturized and transported out of the country easily. Syria is an obvious place, and many people I respect have pointed to the Bekaa Valley as a place as well. We're not going to invade Syria any time soon to find out, but this is the second example of weapons of mass destruction-type coming out of Syria.
Now, they had to get to Syria somehow. I just want to keep your mind open to the possibility that these weapons of mass destruction from Iraq are somewhere, and they've not been destroyed. They haven't just vanished into the ether, and I'm going to make a prediction to you that all of the liberals and critics of the president who have harped on this and jumped on this have once again jumped the gun. They are a little premature here because we don't know yet what, if anything, did happen to those weapons of mass destruction, despite knowing that they did exist. So keep your hats on and don't be surprised down the road what is learned at some point.
Yellow cake uranium has been found at junk yards in Rotterdam and that's exactly what Iraq was looking for. This stuff could have been disbursed over the years to any number of places, and if you think that an Al-Qaeda related group is going to blow up Amman, Jordan with weapons that were procured from Syria, if you think that Al-Qaeda is not related to what all was going on in Iraq, and the Middle East, then you are engaged in blindness or wishful thinking. That is the position of the left, and that's why they can't be trusted to be placed in a leadership position.

Why would he want to do that?
Unlike Rush Limbaugh who I suppose is going to hurry out and enlist if it turns out that there aren't any WMDs? And what about the rest of the chicken-hawk gang, who are so bent on world domination but have never spent a day in uniform? How are they going to repay the American people and the dead soldiers when their fantasy turns into reality? Let's put Frum and Perle and Kristol and Podhoretz and Jonah Goldberg in uniform and then we'll see how eager they are for bringing democracy to the Middle East.
We've moved from the absurd to the sublime...I used to work for a guy who said that.
Any reason you want just Jews in the media in uniform?
Tell me, what's it like to be so morally confused? The way it works is...Taliban = despots. Saddam and sons = despots. Miloseveck = despot. America = liberators. I guess in every struggle of good against evil there are people who should know better that sit on the side lines and trash the good guys. It just goes to show that there is no accounting for human foolishness. People like you, with no common sense, are just one more burden the good guys have to put up with.
Here are a couple more quotes from your war-mongering associates that are taken from just the next half dozen posts after yours:
"It would warm my heart to see all Islamofascists located at ground zero, but is it a reality? It IS a reality if you have the will. Remember 9/11? The Arabs had no problem with REALITY when they hit the WTC in 1993 and again in 2001. Now it is our turn to show we create Reality or are afraid of it."
"My opinion is take the troops out and send in the nukes to finish the job."
So Narses, you feel justified in supporting this kind of sentiment. Let it rest on your conscience, not mine.
In that case we'll be showing the world the evidence any day now.
Why else would we have found chem suits and chem agent antidote here.
Perhaps because they were anticipating an attack for one country that has a known supply of chemical warfare agents?
My opinion is take the troops out and send in the nukes to finish the job.
I find it hard to believe you are serious. But this is not a joking matter. So you really support dropping nuclear weapons on the Middle East? Where precisely would you start?
Fallujah.
Pour encourager les autres...
Kill tally: Approaching two million, including between 150,000 and 340,000 Iraqis and between 450,000 and 730,000 Iranians killed during the Iran-Iraq War. An estimated 1,000 Kuwaiti nationals killed following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. No conclusive figures for the number of Iraqis killed during the Gulf War, with estimates varying from as few as 1,500 to as many as 200,000. Over 100,000 Kurds killed or "disappeared". No reliable figures for the number of Iraqi dissidents and Shi'ite Muslims killed during Hussein's reign, though estimates put the figure between 60,000 and 100,000. (Mass graves discovered following the US occupation of Iraq in 2003 suggest that the total combined figure for Kurds, Shi'ites and dissidents killed could be as high as 300,000). Approximately 500,000 Iraqi children dead because of international trade sanctions introduced following the Gulf War.
I can't believe you would try to use a source like this to prove the existence of WMDs. First of all, please note that there is not one single reference to weapons whether chemical, nuclear or otherwise. Secondly, please notice that this same source blames the US-led embargo for MORE deaths than Saddam Hussein. So if you're going to accept this source for one figure, you have to accept it for the other.
