Japan contradicts Kay's statement that Iraq had no WMDs

What a maroon.

I think Bugs Bunny said it best:
"What an ULTRA-maroon!"

Over the past year, I've pointed folks in this forum to Pollack's scenario of Saddam, Inc.
putting his energies into this very smart "just in time" or "capability-based"
program for chem/bio WMDs.
And in most (if not all) of my posts, I said something to the effect that it pained
me to say the a Clinton Admin. official was making a really good case.

Well, I guess that in a way I should be thankful.
Now I just about feel relieved of any sense of a need to be fair to anyone associated
with the Clinton Administration.

Every one of them, in the fullness of time, reveals themselves to be weasels
who should be ignored.

And many of them should feel lucky to get such treatment.
In a rational world, they'd be found guilty of treason, put against a wall and...

In the world of RealPolitik, Dubya, Condi, et al should be talking NON-STOP about
the "take it to the bank" two-faced weasel factor of the administration...
that supplied them with a lot of intelligence info. that counseled "at the first
decent provocation...go get Saddam".

If you do a Google search on the words Euphrates and MSNBC, you will find many news sources that picked up the MSNBC story on April 4-5, 2003. But then the story disappears completely.

Cheney is still claiming (as of a week ago) that the two large vans discovered in Iraq are biolabs when Kay has already stated they're not.

I missed Kay's statement on this. Did he say the vans were not biolabs or did he say that they might not be biolabs? Thanks.

unlikely Iraq had stockpiles of WMD

Not meaning to be flip...well maybe a little...it all depends on what your definition of "stockpile" is. :^)

A stockpile is a reserve supply or an accumulation of something. Remember that it doesn't take much of these nasty things to inflict a lot of misery.

Yeah...Kay said that in his opinion, they were not biolabs. But as Senator Roberts mentioned during the testimony, the CIA has a different perspective...which is why Cheney still mentioned it. I think Kay had it right when he said we're going to have a lot of "unresolved ambiguity." Just because something doesn't exist, now, doesn't mean it didn't exist, earlier...or was moved. And while Kay admits it is unlikely any large stockpiles existed with the evidence he found, both Warner and Roberts got Kay to admit that it is still an open possibility.
