DUELFER REPORT ON IRAQ RENDERS KERRY "A COMPLACENT FOOL" OR "AN UTTER FRAUD"

Don't take the word of your lazy rolling-news update anchor or the AP rewrite guy on the Duelfer findings on Iraq. Instead, read the report for yourself. It is an amazing document. It renders John Kerry, on foreign policy and national security, either a complacent fool or an utter fraud. It's not about WMD, it's about the top-to-toe corruption of the entire international system by Saddam Hussein. The "global test" is a racket, and anybody who puts faith in it is jeopardizing America's national security. If the lazy US media won't pick up this story now, shame on them.

As long as you've got a rich man on your arm, you don't need a big bag.

--Elizabeth Rickard

 

The $100 billion Iraqi Oil for Food program was by far the largest relief operation in the history of the United Nations. By extension, it's rapidly becoming the U.N.'s largest-ever scandal....

Those included rewarding friends and allies world-wide with oil allocations on very favorable terms, as well as extracting large kickbacks from oil traders and suppliers of humanitarian goods....

There can be little doubt that U.N. mismanagement contributed greatly to the negative perception of the anti-Saddam containment policy. There is also little doubt that the reward and kickback scheme--as well the possibility of exposure--was a factor as some countries weighed whether to back U.S.-led regime change in Iraq. There is even reason to suspect that some of the Saddam friends and allies who benefited may have been members of the U.N. Secretariat.

eave it to the French to make pro-islamofascist-terrorist radical chic all the rage.

They and their moneygrubbing, Oil-for-Food defrauding cohorts abroad, and their power-hungry would-be terrorist sympathizers here, are all sporting "THE LOOK."

(How many of those oh so trendy Kerry-clinton-Kennedy hate-America, blame-America-first sound bites will Al-Jazeera broadcast today?)

The trusty triad's half-truths, exaggerations and outright lies, confounded by fog of war, vagaries of peace and uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds, remind us that things are not always what they first seem. The UN Oil-for-Food scandal, for example, has shown us it was not "going to war with Iraq" that was "all about oil," but rather, "not going to war with Iraq." The Left, we now see, had that one, (as they have most things), exactly backward.

The dernier cri of seditious and corrupt Leftists everywhere, pro-islamofascist-terrorist radical chic renders the Left, irrespective of policy, no less dangerous to Western civilization than the terrorists they aid and abet.

A Dangerous Man

Iraq: You wouldn't know it from the headlines, but the new WMD report explains why Saddam Hussein was a threat and why the U.S. was right to remove him.

Arms inspector Charles Duelfer has just delivered the most exhaustive findings so far on Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. As anyone even faintly aware of the report must know by now, Duelfer and his team found no WMD stockpiles and concluded that Iraqi WMD capability was "essentially destroyed" after the 1991 Gulf War.

The anti-war media have been quick to seize on that angle, kicking off stories with agitprop leads like this one from The Associated Press' Ken Guggenheim:

"Contradicting the main argument for a war that has cost more than 1,000 American lives, the top U.S. arms inspector said Wednesday he found no evidence that Iraq produced any weapons of mass destruction after 1991."

Fortunately, we live in the Internet era where Americans can easily find the facts. The Duelfer report is online at http://www.cia.gov/cia/reports/iraq_wmd_2004/index.html, with good summaries in "Key Findings" and the Duelfer's "Transmission Letter."

Drawing not just on inspections but also on debriefings of regime officials -- including Saddam himself -- Duelfer gives us the best window yet into the dictator's long-term strategy. From all sources the message was clear: Saddam's first order of business, after his own survival, was to break the United Nations sanctions so that he could resume the WMD program. He came close to succeeding.

Forced to scrap most of his WMD after the first Gulf War, Saddam, Duelfer says, took pains to preserve know-how so that production could start quickly when sanctions were lifted. Sanctions lasted longer than Saddam had hoped, but by the end of the 1990s, his propaganda and bribery program -- the U.N. oil-for-food program came in handy -- had done its work. The sanctions were cracking.

After 9-11, with sharp prodding from the U.S., the U.N. rediscovered its backbone for a time and forced him to re-admit inspectors. Saddam's French and Russian allies insisted that the inspections run their course. The U.S. and Britain decided on war instead.

That decision has never looked better than it does now.

If Saddam's friends had prevailed, the inspections would have played into his hands. Having mothballed his WMD program, he would have received the U.N.'s clean bill of health and the sanctions would have been lifted.

In short order, he would have restarted his chemical, biological and nuclear programs, with plenty of oil money to buy materials and produce quick results. His contacts with al-Qaida might then have firmed up into an operational alliance. And the U.S. would be begging fruitlessly for global action, as it now does with Iran.

The situation in Iraq today, as President Bush likes to say, is "tough." But it's not the strategic nightmare that it would have been if Saddam had been allowed to stay.

On Wednesday, Sen. John Warner asked Duelfer if he thought the world is better off with Saddam out of power. "I'm an analyst, and I realize I'm in a political world right now," Duelfer began.

But Warner pressed him further, and Duelfer went on: "But I have to agree. Analytically, the world is better off."

His report, in its scrupulously impartial way, makes just that point.

 

addam Hussein was a lethally dangerous man.

This is the inescapable, bottom-line conclusion of arms inspector Charles Duelfer. (Comprehensive Report of the Special Advisor to the DCI on Iraq's WMD, 30 September 2004)

If we accept Duelfer's findings, then we must also accept the corollary: If Saddam Hussein was a lethally dangerous man, then so too is John Kerry. A Commander-in-Chief Kerry would never have acted preemptively to remove Saddam Hussein.

For this reason, old media, arthritic and in the throes of death even before it was Dan Rathered, is ignoring the essence of the Duelfer report, focusing instead on "no WMDs"-- a matter of relevance to presidential fitness only insofar as it exposes Kerry's lack thereof. (A relevance, which, of course, old media is choosing to ignore.) During his 34 years on the public stage, John Kerry did his damnedest to decimate America's intelligence (as well as military) capacity to confront the enemy.

John Kerry is a lethally dangerous man.

FROM NOW UNTIL NOVEMBER 2^ND, it is critical that George Bush and Dick Cheney frame the ENTIRE DEBATE ON THE WAR ON TERROR AND ON THE LETHAL DANGER THAT A COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF KERRY WOULD POSE FOR OUR COUNTRY, FOR OUR CHILDREN, FOR THE WORLD.

The details of the magnitude of the corruption in the U.N. -- France in particular, with three of its officials ON THE TAKE FROM SADDAM TO ENSURE A "NO" VOTE TO INVADE IRAQ ON THE SECURITY COUNCIL -- IS TOTALLY DISPICABLE. OUR MEN WERE DYING IN IRAQ, TO FREE IRAQ AND REMOVE SADDAM, WHILE THE FRENCH WERE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR TO STAY AWAY.

THE U.S. SHOULD BREAK DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH FRANCE UNTIL THE CHIRAC GOVERNMENT IS REPLACED. SECONDLY, THE U.N. SHOULD BE THROWN OUT OF THE UNITED STATES, WITHOUT ANY REMORSE OR REGRETS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I've read the report (as well as the 9-11 Commission report) cover to cover, including footnotes, and the conclusion is inescapable that it "hammers" the president and his conduct. It is the "head-in-the-sand" posture that dominates here that is a strange and dangerous wishful thinking. Whistling passed the the graveyard may be a comfort, but the failure to recognize the hard truth is setting oneself up for a disappointment.
