No WMD or capacity? What's with all this "duel" use exceptions?

[Sacajaweau]

So what they're saying is that everything was there to make WMD AND they left it there.

[lizma]

Where were they a couple years ago???

Makes you wonder if monies still were being scandalously funded after Saddam went underground.

Good read. I wouldn't be surprise if a lot of this stuff was grabbed selling as junk to smelters whatever, not that Iraq has any smelting capabiities, or do they? Things like pumps are composed mostly of perhaps pig iron. So like anywhere else it has value. Surely Iraq still has scrap yards, and folks finding and selling stuff. Just a thought. Those hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's that where going nuts during the opening days of OIF I surely where not organized insurgent groups. This process of finding and stealing stuff at various sites could have been an ongoing thing. Of course one who still believes Iraq had an ongoing record of R&D and some manufacturing of WMD's, I am not trying to presume all the stuff noticed missing is all innocent attempts to salvage junk and or sell it to feed ones family.

UNITED NATIONS - U.N. satellite imagery experts have determined that material that could be used to make biological or chemical weapons and banned long-range missiles has been removed from 109 sites in Iraq, U.N. weapons inspectors said in a report obtained Thursday.

So...let me get this straight...

When Bush said that Iraq HAD WMD's...capacity to MAKE WMD's...and ILLEGAL delivery systems...he was lying according to all the PINHEADED LIEberals who worship at the UN altar...

But when the UN says that materials...that they HAVE KNOWN OF AND WERE MONITORING...that were WMD's and delivery systems ILLEGAL for Iraq to have...now says they are missing...NOW they want accountability as to WHERE these materials might be?

Just who was lying?!?!

I guess the UN Inspectors (Yes, I'm looking at YOU Scotty "Burger King Pedophile" Ritter) miss their kick-backs for looking the other way, and NOW want to pretend that they do their jobs!

[Liberty Valance]

LOL! Pigs really do fly!

[isom35]

tell 'em to check with lost and found.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Curious the timing of this report is.

[Ramius]

Well... with regard to some of the stuff that is no longer there, it is probably fair to say that we've had something to do with that as well.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Maybe all the weapons stuff went missing from UN monitored sites but I bet Scott Ritter knows where every little girl in his neighborhood lives.

[hiredhand]

What a pile of steaming crap! While the U.N. was there, Saddam ferreted this sort of stuff around under their noses and they never saw it. Now that we're in control over there, the U.N. has come to the conclusion that it's missing?

r-i-g-h-t.

[Pan_Yan]

Help me out here ...

Is this article saying that the U.N. is using somebody's satellites (assume European) to spy on us in Iraq since we won't let them in anymore?

"have been blocked from returning to Iraq"

Bullfeathers. They got bombed once, and ran for the tall grass.

[TomasUSMC]

We are talking about, "The report said 3,380 valves, 107 pumps, and more than 7.8 miles of pipes were known to have been located at the 39 chemical sites."

-pumps, valves and pipe. Gimme a break.

What ..????

There isn't any WMD in Iraq .. that's what the media said ..?? and they had to be telling the truth didn't they ..??????

[Pro-Bush]

In the report to the U.N. Security Council, acting chief weapons inspector Demetrius Perricos said he's reached no conclusions about who removed the items or where they went. He said it could have been moved elsewhere in Iraq, sold as scrap, melted down or purchased.

How about the possibility of wmd's being transported to Syria during the buildup to gulf war II?

[Jackknife]

Big ping.

These weapons that they never had and the UN "couldn't find" sure seem to do a lot of traveling.
