Bill Press just on Scrobrough said David Kays report is coming out tomorrow to the CIA that there are no WMD. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Yes, I heard it.

Monsoor said to Brit Hume, and I paraphrase: "As you know, I cannot say to much, but from the information my sources are giving, Saddam has a lab and storage facility(?) for his WMD's and I expect by the State of the Union Address next year, that these will be found".

We can only hope!!

The cancer part is pure fantasy. The stuff probably would not cause cancer, and even if it did, the cancer would not show up for at least ten years. Makes me think the rest of the story is pure fantasy as well, like most of the other WMD stories out there.

Face it, we are not going to find WMD, because they no longer exist. Saddam would have destroyed them just before the inspectors reentered. At the UN Colin Powell showed pictures of decontamination trucks that may have been used to perform the destruction.

Finding actual chemicals does not matter. What matters is the production facilities. David Kay will find the seeds for production of biological weapons, and the ability to convert dual-use technology over to chemical weapons production on short order.

Imagine that you made moonshine. You have a still deep in the woods, far from your home. You learn that law enforcement is going to raid your home. So you destroy the moonshine in your basement - they find nothing in your home. Next day, you're back in business, no problem. It's not the jars in your basement that keeps you going, it's the still out back.

I did and Monsoor Ijaz always knows what he's talking about.

FoxFan ping!

Check out DoctorZIn's posts 27 and 39 for more details on what Mansoor Ijaz said Sunday night on The O'Reilly Factor.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

This reminds me of the recent Ledeen-Ghorbanifar allegation that "enriched uranium was smuggled from Iraq into Iran five years ago and some may remain hidden in Iraq".

"The source of Ghorbanifar's information, who would talk only on condition his name not be used for fear of his safety, said he told the CIA it could meet with three people involved in the purported shipment. Those people, including a man formerly in the Iraqi military, could take the Americans to a laboratory in Iraq where unspecified "material" is stored, the source said."

If it was five years ago, that would even give time for the courier to develop cancer (a problem in the story, as pointed out by Toskrin). So I think the odds are that it's the same story, perhaps with some new details. (Further evidence that Ledeen and Ijaz are on the same page here: they both say that OBL is hiding out in Iran.)

Ijaz' last report (late November), citing an "unimpeachable source," was that Osama bin Laden was in Iran on the western border.

Did anyone else hear Monsoor relate that a agent in place in Irag will reveal where special lab and other locations for WMD's?

The informant was waiting for:

1) The death of Saddam.
2) Protection for himself and his family.

Also, the informant and a couple of family members, who he claims were couriers of radioactive material, all have the same kind of cancer.
