I wonder how the lamestream leftist press will report this . . .

[wagglebee]

Ping!

[Paul Atreides]

That's easy: they won't!

That ran contrary to the Clinton White House policy to "get rid of Saddam Hussein."

Very interesting.

[Dolphy]

In short, the White House decided the "Iraq" problem was to be put on "indefinite hold."

The details are in Berger's pants.

Ah, we've reached the last stage of this debate, blame Clinton. We can go no further. No more Iraq WMD posts please.

In December 1998, Clinton launched Operation Desert Fox against Iraq. The air attacks against suspected WMD factories and storage facilities grabbed headlines, but in the end, never produced hard evidence that any illegal weapons had been destroyed.

That bombing took off a corner of a roof that exposed Iraqi drones. That's hard evidence that Iraq was thumbing its nose at the UN and developing these drones. I don't know if we went back and destroyed that building and its contents or not, but Desert Fox did reveal that they were hidden there.

It was also around just before that operation when the Iraqi enrichment centrifuge was found stashed in Jordanian territory, as I recall.

It doesn't even get into how the Clinton team undercut (ugh) Scott Ritter. Once I read the background story on that I understod why he's so bitter -- just at the wrong people this time.

Before officially joining the CIA weapons hunt earlier this year, Duelfer spent more than 8 years hunting WMD at the United Nations

The UN has WMD? Well, that explains a lot!

[VOA]

Butler, known for his repeated clashes with Iraq officials, was eventually forced
out of his U.N. job by the French and Russian ambassadors in June 1999.

I'm sure that the French and Russian ambassadors weren't swayed by "oil for food" money...

Clinton launched Operation Desert Fox against Iraq.

Real smart move on Clinton's part, naming an operation after the nickname of a famous Nazi General, Erwin Rommel.

[cgk]

What it did not change was one important fact: Saddam no longer had any significant WMD and hadn't for almost 10 years. A fact known to senior officials of the Clinton White House but never publicly acknowledged.

This is in contrary to UNMOVIC's findings in 2003:

On another issue, UNMOVIC said advanced testing and analysis had indicated that the strain of anthrax found on R400 bombs that Iraq declared that it unilaterally destroyed was the same strain that it had earlier declared to have weaponized.

Eventually, the Russians and French, looking to resume business ties with the Iraqis, forced U.N. Weapons Inspector Richard)Butler to the sidelines. Washington was content to just look on

Well, Well Well--- am I supposed to presume that Russia, Germany, France and multiple other countries were all receiving oil vouchers/money from Saddam Hussein and No One In The Clinton Administration Did??? B.S!!! Bill Clinton and his sycophants had their hands in that till just like the rest of them, and some investigative journalist should write a book about this while he's still alive, for gods sake.
