Praying here, that the word from Iraq is not so bad, that he is throwing up in the bath room : |
Chemical weapons? What chemical weapons? Apparently the editors who worked at the Telegraph in 2003 didn’t leave a memo for their successors that there were no chemical weapons in Iraq.....
They’ll use them here.
I remember seeing aerial photos of trucks moving something from Iraq into Syria right before the war, supposedly WOMD.
There were no WMDs in Iraq when George W. Bush illegally and immorally invaded Iraq and these are the WMDs that Bush had his army plant in case he had to prove their existence. Of course, being incompetent, George W. Bush failed to provide adequate protection. Our great and infallible leader just learned of the problem and is laser focused on cleaning up yet another George W. Bush mess.
You know that no matter what happens the Obama administration will blame it on Bush.
Oh....funny how NOW they show up.
The odds of Saddam destroying all of his WMD are about the same as the odds that Assad will destroy all of his. In other words, nil. Saddam destroyed quite a bit that the UN documented, but they were many that Saddam's own paper work said existed, but were not verified destroyed by the UN.
Look the way this was suppose to work was, after Saddam was taken out, Iran was next. If we had taken down Iran after Saddam, the entire region would have been better off. Israel would have taken care of Assad. Instead, the progresso Islamic terrorist but kissing morons decided to attack Bush for lying about WMD that the UN had documentation that stated the WMD existed. That is why the world is about to explode.
Destroying them safely is a difficult and expensive process. VX in particular, has to be incinerated at high temperatures to destroy toxic byproducts, and if the temperature isn't high enough what escapes the chimney is very nasty - a farmer near Dugway Proving Grounds (IIRC) found a flock of sheep keeled over mysteriously dead one time.
Chemical weapons produced at the Al Muthanna facility, which Isis today seized, are believed to have included mustard gas, Sarin, Tabun, and VX.
A blistering agent and three nerve gases. Now, in order for anyone to get money to destroy the stuff they'd first have to admit publicly that it existed, wouldn't they? And that goes against the Left's media narrative. So there it sat.
It has been a decade of screaming frustration having to endure the constant drumbeat of "Bush lied, people died" that is still a propaganda staple. Of course Saddam had the stuff, he killed people with it. It is simply amazing how much amnesia suddenly occurred when it became advantageous for the Left to pretend otherwise.
So what we have here is an admission that Saddam really did have these weapons, that everybody knew it, and that the propaganda campaign went on regardless. It ought to be a major embarrassment, but unless somebody dies, it will be a minor ripple, quickly forgotten.
Iraq had an enormous stockpile of WMDs. They don’t all have to be in one place. I thought after 11 years of the left’s propaganda that surely all of them had been either moved out of country or destroyed.
Clearly that wasn’t the case and our government has known this all along!
Soon coming across our southern border with the tidal wave of new RAT voters.
This is no ordinary meeting.....

-Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the United Nations
-General Martin Dempsey, the chair of the joint chiefs of staff
-Assorted national security and legal aides
He’s late again....now saying 1.15....45 mins late, must be watching nickleodeon again....
Or the news so he can say “ first time I heard about it, was on the news “
Baby gas is pretty nasty.
Baby gas is pretty nasty.
Good one :):)
Thanks for that information. I was wondering how much longer 0bama’s team could pretend the problem didn’t exist. BTT
clearly something is afoot, this is more like a war cabinet than a good old get together.
500 tons of uranium shipped from Iraq, Pentagon says
As for the uranium, didn't Jack Wilson write an op-ed article claiming that Hussein never obtained yellow cake from Niger and that launched a 3 year investigation into who outed his wife as a bogus "covert" CIA agent?

Actually, I have lib friends who absolutely refused to believe Hussein ever had any wmds. I cited the documented attacks on the Kurdish villages and the UN inspectors reports, Hans Blix, Unscom, etcetera. They still refused to believe me.
Now the merits or demerits of going into Iraq can be debated by honest people, but there's no denying that Saddam had a lot of wmds and used them at times. How or whether he got rid of them is still a good question. A degraded sarin gas canister was lobbed at some of our soldiers in 2004 by Al-Qaeda. Where did they get it?

Wow, I feel so much safer now that I know that cast of characters are working the problem, but I'd feel so much safer if I knew National Security Adviser Susan Rice was taking part as well. I don't see her name or Deputy National Security Adviser Tommy “Dude” Vietor’s name anywhere on the list at all.
