IRAQ ADMITS IT'S ON THE BRINK OF CREATING NUKES

December 9, 2002 -- A top adviser to Saddam Hussein admitted yesterday that Iraq is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons.

"We have the complete documentation, from design to all the other things," Lt. Gen. Amir al-Saadi told reporters in Baghdad. "We haven't reached the final assembly of a bomb nor tested it."

I mostly agree with that as well.

Re:"I don't believe their report," Gore said.

Why is the reporter reporting what algore believes or doesn't believe? This isn't news. alGore doesn't have a job.

This fails the laugh test and ranks up there with the famous line, I smoked it but never inhaled.

[RobFromGa]

Maybe the report compromises the Clinton-Gore administration?

[demlosers]

I think you'd have to say that what they gave the U.N. yesterday was probably a 12,000-page, 100-pound lie," declared Sen. Joe LIEberman (D-Conn.), speaking on "Fox News Sunday."

I believe you Joe. You know all about Lies.

Why is it exactly that we bother with the UN? Let's reclaim the site on the East River and apply it to something useful. A parking lot would be better than this anti-American rabble. NO MORE $ TO THE UN.

[steveegg]

Former Vice President Al Gore, speaking on ABC's "This Week," said he thinks Saddam Hussein is lying.

"I don't believe their report," Gore said

What don't you believe about the report, Albert Benedict Arnold Alpha Algore, Jr.? That Iraq actually stopped developing WMD, or that you and S(l)ick Willie can be held responsible for, hypothetically speaking, the W-88 warhead design that I expect will be part of those 11,000+ pages.

[steveegg]

That wouldn't surprise me, but that sickness has been around a lot longer than just the last (insert any number between 1 and 4,000) years.

[rintense]

Exactly why bombing Iraq has TWO purposes: one, getting rid of Saddam, and two, proving the existence of the UN as irrelevant.

[BlessingInDisguise]

I have everything I need to make a nuclear bomb myself as long as I go to the right webpage. Now the plutonium on the other hand is a little hard to come by. Maybe if I stock up enough uranium??...

[steveegg]

Every death that results from Sadam Hussein's actions should thus result in an equivelant pound of flesh being taken from the rogue United Nations.

Do we have to limit ourselves to Allied/Israeli deaths, or can we lump Iraqi/al-Qaeda deaths in on this?

[Grampa Dave]

He said the report also includes sensitive information about how other countries helped Iraq with programs to create weapons of mass destruction.

If it's released, he said, it will "embarrass" some countries and companies.

Ivan, What two countries would you place at the top of the embarassment list? :)

What are the credible sources in London saying about this 100 pounds of Bravo Sierra fantasy report from Uncle Sodom?

[nicmarlo]

And will explain, I don't much doubt, why the French and Germans were so down on confronting Saddam regarding WMD's

Interesting point and probably valid observation.

[Grampa Dave]

Joey, LIEberman to his credit has been wanting to take out Uncle Sodom since a few days after 9/11/2001.

However, this is a big change in our big liar, the Goron, who invented lying:

"I think you'd have to say that what they gave the U.N. yesterday was probably a 12,000-page, 100-pound lie," declared Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), speaking on "Fox News Sunday."

Former Vice President Al Gore, speaking on ABC's "This Week," said he thinks Saddam Hussein is lying. "I don't believe their report," Gore said.

So what is in this report, or is left out, is so bad, that even the Goron, who invented lying is now saying Uncle Sodom is lying?

[rintense]

Yep. As I have said before, the Bush admin HAS evidence and proof that Iraq has WMDs (including nukes) and has slowly but surely been showing that evidence to key folks in the government. This is how Gephardt came on board so quickly, and left Tommy in the dark. Word seems to be trickling down of this evidence. Too bad that milk sop Lincoln Chafee hasn't seen it yet- that sorry excuse for a Republican...

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

He insisted that despite knowing how to build a nuke, Iraq has not done so.

Wait a second. I know how to buld a nuke too. That doesn't mean I can. It has been fairly common knowledge that if you enrich eneough Uranium and then compress it in an explsion to reach a critical mass, a nuclear reaction will result.

Just because the Iraquis "know" how to do this doesn't mean that they "can" do it. They don't have the materials and if they did, they would have used them already.

Doesn't anybody remember a strike by Israelin the 80s to prevent just this type of thing from happening?

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

Also,why is Gore already saying they are lying?

This is an excellent point and I was wondering that myself. Gore was VP for 8 years and (pre-Cheney) one of the most active and involved ones at that. We shold also not forget his affinity for knowing everything about everything (except politics).

Gore saw 8 years of American intelligence on Iraq. I would bet he has a decent handle on what might be around.

Any thoughts about sending him there to search along with Blix?

[steveegg]

It's a fine line between shaping everything, from the explosives to the wires from the detonator to the explosives, to the uranium/plutonium right, from having just another dirty bomb and having it go off on the assembly line or on the way to the target. That line is functional weapons.

While the basics of design are easy to obtain (heck, there was a movie where a high-school kid built a nuke from strobes and batteries), the particulars that make a design fit on that fine line are jealously-guarded (well, outside of the S(l)ick Willie crowd).

That 1981 attack on Orsik only set Iraq back a while. It resorted to non-nuclear-power-generation methods to get its weapons-grade material.

[Grampa Dave]

I think that you are right that the admin has a ton of data about nukes and other wmd's re their existence and Uncle Sodom.

Now with the uncensored UN report, we can document when France, Germany and their fascist Eurotrash companies sold the knowledge, techniques, how to's, and equipment to build those WMD's.

That data will create a very interesting flow of money and aid from the Eurotrash countries and companies to and from Uncle Sodom.

The closed door sessions with the ambassadors from these Euro trash countries and ours will be very interesting.

Of course Russia and the ChiComs will have Sodom's dirty money all over their hands in this knowledge transfer game.

Re Lincoln Chafee and the Da$$hole, the administration knew not to trust these anti American senators, and there will be at least another dirty dozen not to trust. If the data is really bad, we may see the DNC fire Pelosi and bring back Gephardt. They might even replace the Da$$hole with a democrat who is not a traitor like the Da$$hole.

[lavaroise]

They have the abilities of course. What do you expect Saddam pointing guns at the heads of the scientists is for?
