| Saddam did have WMD plans says inspector |
| 2004-04-05 |
| Via Lucianne: SADDAM Hussein had the ability to unleash biological and chemical weapons "at short notice" on foreign nations, according to a potentially explosive new report by inspectors. The leaked document, written by Charles Duelfer, the new director of the Iraq Survey group, concludes that hard evidence does exist that Saddam had the ability to wreak terror with the weaponry. Furthermore, there was evidence that he was plotting to expand his facilities last year, prior to the invasion of British and American troops. The report will be seized on gratefully by London and Washington as they continue to fight the case for war. One Foreign Office official described it last night as "hopeful". Last night his findings were questioned by critics of the war, who claimed he had moved the goalposts in the hunt for weapons of mass destruction since taking over the job - shifting from the search for hard evidence, to signs of "intent". They also demanded that the factual basis for Duelfer’s five-page report be revealed. Democrat senator Carl Levin - the party’s most senior defence spokesman - has now challenged the CIA, which controls the survey group, to declassify the entire report. Be careful of what you wish for Carl, you might get what you want. I seem to remember ramps for missiles longer than they should have been that Blixie found and dismantled. And when did moving goal posts matter???? |

| #2 Why did so many Iraqis carry atropine injectors? Why the stock piles of atropine and chemical suits at the Iraqi hospital? Did THEY think WE were going to use chemical weapons? Nerve gas? C'mon... |

| #1 Ok, fine...let's talk about moving goal posts. I recall some asshat Donk senator saying that even if we did find WMD stockpiles buried in the desert - that would not be considered suffient proof of Saddam's intent beause such stockpiles were not in a state of deployment. I truly wish I remember who said that but it's getting near impossible to track which dhimmicrat said what. |
