IRAQ is using pirated copies of German equipment to process nuclear material in an assembly line that
will regularly produce nuclear weapons,

“The amount of uranium it already has — conservatively estimated in a German intelligence report at ten
tonnes of natural uranium and 1.3 tonnes of low-enriched uranium — is enough for three nuclear
weapons,” Dr Hamza said.

Before their expulsion, the inspectors dismantled an illegally imported German centrifuge installation

The key was provided, he said, when the German Karl Schaab smuggled in the centrifuge in 1989 and
later helped Iraq to build a second. “We videoed as it was put up, so we could build identical ones. Then
he also provided 130 classified documents and charts detailing every aspect of the construction. When the
inspectors took away the original centrifuge, we already had the know-how. I believe there are probably
hundreds of copies today,”

I believe the Germans are up to their necks in all this.

This cannot be. Tom Dasshole has assured us that Iraq poses no threat to us or Iraq's neighbors. And Dasshole is a genius, so we can disregard whatever our intelligence services and Iraqi nuclear engineer defectors report.

[tomahawk]

Which makes the German government's opposition to our impending military capaign unacceptable. It's time to embarrass the Germans publicly for this outrage.

Now he’s well on the road, his game will be to stall and stall — if America lets him.

i.e Send out a press release inviting inspectors then denying them at the last minute.

IRAQ- some links to terror

Dr Hamza said that it would be suicidal for the West to wait much longer before eliminating Saddam’s regime. “Inspectors going in now will have an almost impossible task to discover what’s going on in the nuclear field,” he said. “Since the inspectors left, Saddam has had four years at least to hide what needs to be hidden. Now he’s well on the road, his game will be to stall and stall — if America lets him.”

those Americans with even a lick of sense already understand this.

those who do not, or feign not too,
are either militantly ignorant or, quite simply, stupid.

Every day that Tom Dasshole delays a vote on the use of force on Iraq, he comes closer and closer to crossing the line into being a traitor to his nation. Our sworn enemy is about to go nuclear, and he wants to avoid a vote because he fears it will help Republicans in November. What a pathetic piece of sh*t he is.

Now he’s well on the road, his game will be to stall and stall — if America lets him.”

No doubt the Doofuses in the UN and the usual fifth-column Democrats will promote this stalling so they can delay meaningful action, all the while trying to make political points.

But, if one or more of these nucs goes off in America, they will have a hey-day blaming Bush. Bush can't win dealing with either Saddam or any of these people. He may as well do what needs to be done for the good of America.

[tomahawk]

There can be no weapons inspections, since they cannot assure destruction of all Saddams Weapons of Mass Murder. The only thing that will work is removal of Saddam's regime. Nothing else is acceptable.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Now we know why the terrorist enablers like, Daschole, Graham, Kerry, et al, want to wait a few months before we do anything.

Once Saddam has the bomb, then they finally have the excuse to vote against action.....Too dangerous.

"He may as well do what needs to be done for the good of America."

I trust that he will. Now, if we can just change his mind on the 'open-borders' thing.

[SEGUET]

"IRAQ is using pirated copies of German equipment to process nuclear material in ..."

Why would they need pirated copies of anything - when all you need is a library card or access to the internet - no big deal about specs for centrifuges.

[tomkat]

100% agreement

and then, on to Damascus and Riyadh...

[Blood of Tyrants]

The timing is a little to convenient. Sounds like government propaganda to drum up support for the coming war.

[BulletBrasDotNet]

I'd bet that Daschle is kissing Ritter's kisser.... and Ritter's pisser. Sorry for the off-color remark. I couldn't resist the rhymes. heheheh

[PhilDragoo]

I believe the Germans are up to their necks in all this.

Explaining Schroder's whole "pay no attention to the man behind the centrifuge" act.

[PhilDragoo]

And Dasshole is a genius, so we can disregard whatever our intelligence services and Iraqi nuclear engineer defectors report.

So, who are we going to believe, a Napoleanic dwarf with partisan myopia or the premier sigint/comint/humint apparatus in the world?

Or, in other words, a traitor's lies or our lying eyes?

[PhilDragoo]

But, if one or more of these nucs goes off in America, they will have a hey-day blaming Bush.

Or Tom Daschle hangs upside down from a lamp post.
