Jaffar: Saddam destroyed all WMD after Gulf War

#8  "Osiris"? This so-called reporter can't even get the name of the bombed out nuke plant (thanks, Israel) right.

Watch for a big cache of WMD to show up in about a month.

#7  Here's another question: Which of the two is more complicating: 1) that the 'President' of Iraq, when captured in his hole, said he wanted to negotiate; or 2) that this was the only statement attributed to him upon his capture.

Here's something that's not a question... An-Amn Al-Khas, Hussein's Special Security group, obviously had as its main mission the protection of Saddam Hussein. But a mission also thrown in for good measure was the concealment of WMD programs. I wonder why those functions were intimately connected (at least in the mind of Saddam Hussein)?

And don't forget, this security group was created partly by a dude who also said 'No WMD Here; Move Along'. Indeed, it was "Saddam's late son-in-law."

#6  Let's not forget the nuclear plans & materials the U.N. inspectors found in 1995 after being tipped off by Saddam's late sons-in-law. (Yes, it's hard to believe that there was a time when the phrase "U.N. inspectors found" was in vogue).

#5  Saddam had Jaffar working for him? And I thought it was a joke when Uday and Qusay became Deaday, that we had only gotten the host bodies and not the symbiotes.

Kree!

#4  Oh, and don't forget this one: Just how stupid are some people? Why do they ignore reality and demonstrate thier utter cluelessness by posting it?

#3  That, of course, is the question. It reminds me of the other question - how come this wasn't done in 1991?

#2  Why did Bosh decide to bomb Iraq in the first place? In other words; WHAT has been accomplished by it? Besides all that crap about making it a better place.

#1  Why didn't we just ask him in the first place - he would have cleared everything up..

"Everything was destroyed, such that the programme couldn't be restarted at the time at all, and it never restarted," Jaffar said, adding that there was also no request to do more research.

but then again...

"We had 500 tonnes of yellow cake (uranium) in Baghdad at the time, so why should we go and buy another 500 tonnes from Niger?" he said.

But let me think for a minute... chemical plants in Sudan, nuke plants in Libya. So where are the bio plants? I bet they're not in Iraq either.
