In a report which might alternately be termed stunning or terrifying, United Nations weapons inspectors confirmed last week not merely that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, but that he smuggled them out of his country, before, during and after the war.
Late last week, the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) briefed the Security Council on Saddam's lightning-fast dismantling of missile and WMD sites before and during the war. UNMOVIC executive chairman Demetrius Perricos detailed not only the export of thousands of tons of missile components, nuclear reactor vessels and fermenters for chemical and biological warheads, but also the discovery of many (but not most) of these items - with UN inspection tags still on them -- as far afield as Jordan, Turkey and even Holland.
One wonders where CNN and USA Today think twenty tons of nerve gas and sarin came from: Chemical Weapons-Mart? Yet their coverage, like most major media outlets, mentioned not a word about Saddam's smuggled WMDs, which -- according to liberal dogma -- don't exist.

Again, the Libs will not notice this.
Well it is typical of the left to blame everything on the U.S., so by extensiion blaming Bush fits right into their world view. Why didn't folks know that 09/11 wasn't the terrorist's fault? It was ours because we dared step foot into a Middle-Eastern nation, or took Israel's side against blowing grandmas, moms and children to bits for existing.
You're right!
"If they were "WMD", they wouldn't have been put in UN-monitored warehouses, but destroyed."
What makes you think Saddam complied with any UN resolutions when sincee 1991 he had his SAM sites fire missiles at coalition aircraftt in violation of his 1991 surrender agreement?
He need to be charged with treason and swung from a rope.
bttt
This is from 2004, anything ever back up this article?
Yep, with out a source this is going to be considered gossip.
I'd cut my little finger off,if the networks would report this exactly like it is reported here.
I have 2 hard nosed Dumbocrat in-laws that bring up the point of no WMD's every time I see them. Also, how Bush lied to the country about it. Dims are just ignorant and refuse to hear the truth.
