Iraq
So Saddam Did Have WMDs, And The Russians Helped Evacuate Them
2006-05-26
Just recently, Saddam Hussein's former southern regional commander, Gen. Al-Tikriti, gave the first videotaped testimony confirming that Iraq had WMDs up to the American invasion in 2003 and that Russia helped remove them prior to the war. His testimony confirms numerous other sources that have pointed to Russia's secret alliance with Iraq and the co-ordinated moving of WMDs before the American liberation...
No real surprises here to any Rantburger, but just to help insure that the history books get it right.

#9  If stories like this are true, why does everyone in the Bush Administration continue to deny them?

If WMD in the hands of a rogue state was the [i]casus belli[/i] of the invasion of Iraq then to admit that said WMD have been evacuated to Syria presents a fairly significant problem. Perhaps the administration is negotiating for a handover of the WMD or perhaps they just want to avoid inconsistent policy by not admitting that another rogue state has WMD stockpiles. Layer on the fact that W has never really cared what anyone else thinks and it's fairly easy to understand why they might not be shouting this news from the rooftops. Then, of course, there's the "Bush lied" meme and the Russian issue....

#8  I say Dubya isn't done yet - iff the American people found out that the Cold War wasn't over, but instead was raised from cold to lukewarm/warm becuz of the covert Commie role(s) in 9-11, would the Amer people be ready to fight the nuclear war they falsely believed was avoided by the end of the USSR-Cold War? Are Communist-controlled/
dominated Fascists still Fascist, or are they Communist? IFF ANYONE SHOULD BE RIDICULED OR LAUGHED AT, IT IS THOSE WHOM ARGUED THAT THE END OF THE USSR-COLD WAR MEANT UNIVERSAL PEACE, AN END TO GEOPOLITICS, THE "GREAT GAME", ANDOR THE SUBSTITUTION OF NATION(S) WID OTHERS, THAT COLD WARRIORS LIVE ONLY IN THE PAST. HOW NOW, BROWN COWS!? NOW LETS ALL BE GOOD CLINTONIANS, OR WAFFLIN' PC FED UNDERCOVER PYWAR AT PENN STATE, AND GO SLAUGHTER BABY ANIMALS IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL SECURITY, THE US CODE ANNO, CFR, UCMJ, AND OUR OATHS OF ALLEGIANCE AND OFFICER COMMISSIONS, ETAL. NO CHEATSIES OR CUTTING IN LINE, D*** YOU, AS WE LINE UP SINGING KUMBAYA AT OUR LOCAL DEATH CAMPS-GULAGS.

#7  Here is the plan comrade Saddam. First of all comrade, the fat Amerikans weel never attack. But, but, but comrade Saddam... vee must be ready with 21 trucks. If, if, if the fat Amerikans attack, our 21 trucks will rush the "special materials" out of Iraq instantly. This will make the fat Amerikan president Poo Poo look like crap for jears and jears! Our agents in Amerikan congress and the senate, along with Jane Fonda and Cindy Sheezhan will see to it. Not to vorry Comrade Saddam. We have joo covered like a blanket!

#6  I've given up on this administration. They've botched things beyond hope. The Dems are gonna sweep in '06 and '08 and we'll be paying for another 2 decades. And unbelieveable opportunity to set things right and they pissed it all away. Only hope for some good is the SCOTUS.

#5  If stories like this are true, why does everyone in the Bush Administration continue to deny them? It makes no sense. If the stories might be true, perhaps it makes sense for the government to say nothing, but if they are true, why deny? The only possibility I can come up with is that the Bush people don't believe they can afford to pursue the WMD to their current resting place, or to alienate those who put them there.

#4  Ion Mihai Pacepa, who described the shell game long ago, should have been authoritative enough.

But he never stood a chance against the MSM meme magicians.

The enemies within are infinitely more dangerous and are winning / have won the "war" for America's lazy and self-absorbed hearts and minds.

Until and unless we muck out the stable, we will lose to the cabal (of convenience) of socialists and maoists (!!!) and chaos junkies and caliphatists - the pantheon of modern nazis. Slowly, but ever so surely, we are losing the numbers game.
