This is the one paragaph that the media completely ingores when reporting on Kay's report. If this is correct, than Saddam DID have prohibited biological materials in his possession and the precursors to produce more. It's amazing that some just can't grasp the thought that once the inspectors would've left, Saddam would've been back to his old tricks. And as Bush has said, we couldn't wait "until" Saddam was an imminent threat:

"Kay's list is chilling. It includes a secret network of labs and safe houses within the Mukhabarat, the Iraqi intelligence service; bioorganisms kept in scientists' homes, including a vial of live botulinum; and my favorite, ``new research on BW-applicable agents, Brucella and Congo Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever, and continuing work on ricin and aflatoxin´´ -- all ``not declared to the U.N."

Interesting and thought-provoking. Good find.

I still think Saddam, being no dummy, set GW up. Several month before the US threatened attack, he set up a secret die-hard group to prepare to dismantle hide/export the WMD, only if we attcked. He knew this would consternate everyone. When he saw we were actually coming in, he set the team to work. I bet these are the same die-hards running sround now taking pot-shots at us.

Thank you for the post, yoe!

No, PYW, I didn't. Thank you so much for this ping. (^:

Mr. Krauthammer is brilliant. The article opens with a bang, ends with a bang - and the middle's packed w/ 'loud' facts.

Rolf Ekeus, living proof that not all Swedish arms inspectors are fools, may have been right.

Ekeus headed the U.N. inspection team that from 1991 to 1997 uncovered not just tons of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq, but a massive secret nuclear weapons program as well. This, after the other Swede, Hans Blix, then director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, had given Saddam a perfectly clean bill of health on being non-nuclear. Indeed, Iraq was sitting on the IAEA Board of Governors.

Hans, Hans, Hans...

The article to share with the misinformed re. WMDs and the Kay report.

Thanks, Tonkin!

If you want on or off my Pro-Coalition ping list, please Freepmail me. Warning: it is a high volume ping list on good days. (Most days are good days).

I've been putting exerpts like this in posts ever since Dr. Kay put out his report. There were so many violations of 1441 we could have had a dozen wars.

The United States, Brittain and their allies were TOTALLY justified in going to war. The UN should also be quoting from Dr. Kays findings in agreement with them. It would make the world a safer place AND justify other countries aiding a rapid solution to stability in the middle east.

But gee.. that might get President Bush elected again, and we just couldn't have that much POWER IN ONE COUNTRY NOW COULD WE???

If only the American people had the patience to follow this story. All they seem to have patience for is the 5-second soundbite, mainly of Democrats lying "No evidence!"

Kay's list is chilling.

Yes, well, unfortunately the list is only written word. Between you, me and tens of thousands of other freepers, we all know nothing short of a parade of WMD down the streets of Baghdad in broad daylight is going to convince the Democrats, the media and the majority of moderate Americans that Saddam actually had them in his possession when we went to war. Kay must produce something tangible and in large quantities. People (liberals) need to see things they know they can touch before they're willing to believe they really exist (in my opinion).

Thanks posting this reality check versus the dangerous spin/bs coming from the lying mediots of America.
