The Senate has head their fun today. Now we get to hear Rummy's take on events. Should be interesting..MSM will be in full cry..
I've never heard that one
LOL!
the uranium at Al Tuwaitha was previously found and under IAEA seal - it doesn't "count" as a WMD find because it wasn't a "fresh claim".
hehe (they were Saddam's sons lions at one of the palaces.)
has Rumsfeld commented at all on Able Danger?
no mention of Able Danger

Strangely enough, that was noted by none other than Katie Couric when she was interviewing Bill Frist this morning.
LOLOL!!! .. caller from cspan1 Washington Journal
We need another Ross Perot like we need a hole in our heads
The debunking article:

"WE ARE WINNING."
Say it.
I sense the sarcasm in your post, but when did the IAEA place the seal on it? In the most recent round of inspections? Wasn't some of this uranium slightly enriched?
I believe the administration has said that the US forces will leave as the Iraqi forces increase. It's just that the MSM doesn't cover that message.
We have to be respectful of local customs, even when they differ from ours. Putting prisoners in with lions is an ancient custom in Iraq. In fact, this could be the very same den Daniel was thrown into.
Think about it, we (actually the Americans and British) stopped a dictator who was already funneling billions of dollars from the oil for food "scam", from using that uranium and we secured it! We stopped and secured the making of a WMD. That was a huge accomplishment and yet the goal posts were moved and there is no praise.
I do not know the date - it must have been before Saddam tossed out the last round of UN people.
its akin to catching and punishing your child for smoking. you search his room on Monday and find cigarretes, instead of removing them, you place them "under seal" in his room and warn him that if you find more or if he breaks the seal, that will mean he is branded as "a smoker" and you will punish him. You search his room again on Friday, and don't find any new packs except the one you placed under seal from Monday. the left concludes from this - "your son is not a smoker". Really, then what the hell was he doing with the pack you found on Monday?
The comments from Lieberman today (there is a thread) spell it out well - Saddam certainly demonstrated to the world that he had a WMD program - these issues of nuclear seals and "no stockpiles" aside.
what he should say is what I always say on these iraq threads "we have already won the part of the war our forces were designed to win". its now an internal security phase, these car bombers and IEDs going to be part of the long term security problem in iraq for many years - and their forces will have to come up to speed to handle it.
