WMD not so open and shut
By Bernie on 09 Jun 2006
First, thanks to for this photo:
Zarqawi's 72 Virgins Await him.
Ahhhh. If heaven were like like this for our dear departed friend, then yes, there is a God.
On April 23, 2006 in my post Cheney Sleeping: Is the world so filled with peace we print nonsense? I noted: "perhaps we were a bit hasty in concluding that there were absolutely no WMDs."
Now with a hat tip to Captain's Quarters for this:
Joseph Shahda has translated another key text from the archives of captured documents left untranslated by the Pentagon. In this case, Shahda appears to have struck gold: the memo describes not only the disposal of chemical-weapon materials but also where Iraq buried them. The memo dated September 15, 2002, comes from the General Relations group from one of Saddam's military/intelligence organizations, and describes in detail where the chemicals were hidden from UN inspectors
As more and more documents are translated, we may finally find out why Saddam would risk his life and empire by not letting anyone inspect what the left claims never existed. Simply saying Saddam dissembled to fool his enemies could not have been the whole picture.
But time will tell. Revenge is a dish best eaten cold.

Free Republic - Bio-Chemical Weapons & Saddam: A History, Excerpt:
In recent months there has been a great deal of bad information going around in the argument over whether we should attack Iraq, and whether Iraq is a threat to us. Some of that bad information is simple ignorance concerning chemical and biological warfare, and some is deliberate dis-information. Among those charges are that we (1) sold Saddam chemical and biological weapons, (2) equipped his army, (3) helped him in his war with Iraq. These charges are specious but start with a germ of fact. These "facts” are always twisted, blown out of proportion and presented out of context by those wishing to smear the USA with the taint of Saddam’s crimes.

- Ref: CBS 60 MINUTES MIKE WALLACE INTERVIEW with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Senior Journalist, Mike Wallace allowed this Jihad Chieftan to totally control the program. When Wallace fired his first hardball question, he was interrupted by the wily guest, asking "Are you a Zionist representative, or a Journalist? The rest of the evening belonged to the smiling Terorist! Sadly, Mike never reestablished control. reb www.lazyonebenn.blogspot.com
