Some subjects just won't go away.
If they were in Syria, then they weren't available to use against our troops.
Getting Saddam to agree to this may have been one of the greatest coups of the war.
That is the best story published in Newsmax in years. Timmerman is a blue chip guy.
"Tierney said, the plasma uranium programs Saddam discussed with his aids as ongoing operations in 2000 had been dismissed as "old programs" disbanded years earlier, according to the final CIA report on Iraq's weapons programs, presented in 2004 by the Iraq Survey Group.
"When I first heard those tapes" about the uranium plasma program, "it completely floored me," Tierney said."
If the tapes prove this, that should make some headlines. I hope.
Oh no. There goes our U.S./Russian relations. Oh, that's right, we really never had any with the muslim supporting Russians anyway.
There is the claim made that, during the Cold War, we backed Iraq and the Soviet Union backed Iran. According to this claim, we are the ones that enabled Saddam to obtain WMDs.
So if that is true, why would Russia be giving WMDs to Iraq? Historically, hasn't Russian been against Iraq and for Iran?
I am confused on this claim that the Russians gave WMDs to Iraq.
This argument has never passed the smell test with me, and I totally believe that Saddam had help with removing or hiding his WMD's, and anyone who thinks otherwise is simply a partisan who is incapable of putting his/her Country ahead of his/her politics.
Saddam Hussein has adopted the DNC's talking points as part of his defense strategy as he stands trial of the countless War Crimes he is GUILTY of. I will bet that Saddam's defense team will place the Abu Graib photo's as part of his defense by saying that AMERICA is the true butcher of the Iraqi People as he demands to get his Country back, and Kofi Annan will be the first to publicly declare that the United States is the bad guy
Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney was less reticent. He thought the reason was Iran.
"With Iran moving faster than anyone thought in its nuclear programs," he told NewsMax, "the administration needed the Russians, the Chinese and the French, and was not interested in information that would make them look bad.".."
This will bite us on the ass if we have to go against Iran and the Russians don't back us. It is cynicism at its worst. We won't have most Americans behind this and cannot count on the Russians.
Where does Jay Rockefeller fit in the story and what was his purpose visiting Syria (Jordan and Saudi Arabia) in early 2002?
If this is true, it brings up interesting points. For example, the Russians must know that we know that they moved some WMDs. And so of course the Russians must know that we have completely avoided making our knowledge public, even when it has caused severe damage to President Bush politically.
Of course they did....dont you remember us shooting up their agents fleeing to Syria?
If the WMDs are really in Syria, why haven't we located and destroyed them? A few Navy Seals on the ground should be able to sniff them out. If found, a laser designator and a B-2 add up to no more WMDs.
Oh, but the Syrians might not like that, and the UN might yell at us if we violate their border.
The Left calls Bush a bully and a warmonger.
I call him dangerously weak.
We need a strong leader who will put US interests first and to heck with "coalition building" or "international opinion" or anything else. We need to support our friends, destroy our enemies, and ignore everyone else.
Bush would rather kiss up to Khofi Anan and Abdullah bin Saud and Vladimir Putin and Vicente Fox.
I don't see anyone running on any party ticket with the sort of toughness and ruthlessness that a true leader requires.
We'll see if this and/or the Sadaam tapes get as much play as Dick Cheney's Elmer Fudd incident. Our media is pathetic!
hope story goes global NOW
This article deserves to be read in it's entirety!

Will this be on the Sunday morning moron-talkshows?
See BS once again caught attempting to engineer an overthrow of the Bush Administration. Their co-conspirators?: the Democrat Party and Russian military intelligence. There's an unholy troika committed to the downfall of America.
