#1 Great article. No doubt we'll be hearing many more stories like this....just not in the usual biased media channels.

#2 HA! I told you so!!

the much sought-after WMD stockpiles may be literally right under the feet of coalition forces

Uh..."literally" being the operative word here. Please tell me that I am not the ONLY person on rantburg who can "read" this (beside the author).

It may be that there are no large stockpiles, as Dr. Kay has stated." But from my perspective....this lack of a positive finding may also be the result of unfocused and uncoordinated ISG search operations."

Now here is a little sentence that those of you with better than 20/20 vision can see the real meaning of, "My experience, and the character of day to day life in Iraq, indicate just the opposite"
Hello!!! Is the whole *&*(&ng world blind???

Why is this little gem just sitting there all alone??? Come on, man...."Dude"...did you think we would miss it buried among the word heap??? Uh...wrong!!! And I'm quite sure I"m not alone here. For those of us who can see, it's like a beacon...a *&(^*g lighthouse!!

Damn...this article is good.

For those of you who can't read it properly..this article says, "there are no stockpiles of WMD's. However, the WMD's are buried in the gardens of the scientists or other very clever spots. David Kay and others apparently are not clever enough, (or perhaps they are blinded by the photos of them having sex with minors )to see the very obvious fact that Sadaam did have WMD's.

Somebody pay me to do this. I work cheap!! $0/per hour.

#3 Interesting point there B. We know that Iraqis like to bury weapons and ordnance in their gardens.

#4 Get this, from Hume's interview with Cheney:

We still haven't completed the search. There's still a lot more work to be done before the ISG will be able to say they've turned over all the rocks and looked in all the crannies and nooks in Iraq.

Now, either the administration is saying "hit us again, please", or there's more to the story than we know.

#5 I don't know whether the WMD's are there or not there, but I understand the difficulty in trying to come up with a rational way to search through an irrational society.

I guess the major problem that I have with Kay's search is that scientists will be involved in programs and development - and Kay found programs. One a product has been developed, manufacturing of any substance is usually the realm of engineers not scientists. As the author pointed out, though, you still have to interview the scientists regardless.

I think we truly have become a society of morons. Evidently, 50% of Americans believe that a country with knowledge and programs should be left alone. People willing to think can't help but see that enrichment via centrifuge and proliferation Khan-style were watershed changes to the status quo of an order of magnitude similar in level to 9-11.
