I can't wait for all the silence coming from these leftist had wringers when the WMD's are found. That is iof they havn't been found already and this administration is just waiting for the right time to release a comprehensive report on the WMD's and all the details on where they came from.

But anyone who believes that Iraq didn't have these weapons and thia war was some kind of sinister plot by Bush & Blair, I have a bridge over a desert I want to sell you

I try not to be a Bush-bot as I disagree with his stance on the assualt weapon ban bill and am pretty upset with the so-called "roadmap" for Middle East peace, but this is a true story.

One of my two best friends (they're twins) works for the United States State Department. He was assigned to Kuwait for the past five months and was there during the war. He e-mailed me in early May that he his boss (also in the State Department) told him that coalition forces found and captured Iraqi WMDs even before the fall of Baghdad on April 9, 2003. He said that the coalition would release this information and present the evidence at a proper time. When this time would be, his boss did not have any knowledge.

Also, my friend is a Bush-hater. College did that to him, so he's not a Bush-bot, but a Democrat supporter. Heck, he works for the United States State Department.

The reality is that if they're found this late, after all of the media questioning about their existance, there will be accusations of them being planted.

Maybe the powers-that-be should look at the sources of their information. Just to make sure none of it came from parties that had an axe to grind against the Iraqui government.

I maintain they have been found. Mustard gas and other poisons in the Tigris River, rolling chemical labs (weather balloons my foot), chem suits and atropine injector stockpiles--what do people think all of that was for? Why isn't the administration harping on these finds, instead of just sitting back and taking all this criticism?

Iraq had the weapons, some were dumped into the Tigris (and who knows where else), some are hidden away in the desert somewhere, some were doubtless moved across the Iranian and Syrian borders. But they had them, they threatened to use them, and they planned to use them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of providing chem suits and atropine injectors.
