Saddam era WMDs captured in Iraq by ISIS
americanthinker.com ^ | 6/20/2014 | Dale T. Armstrong

Posted on 06/20/2014 7:51:00 AM PDT by rktman

The British newspaper, The Telegraph reported this stunning little nugget yesterday, on June 19th:

Chemical weapons produced at the Al Muthanna facility, which Isis today seized, are believed to have included mustard gas, Sarin, Tabun, and VX.

Wait……WHAT?

I thought there were no WMD’s in Iraq, of any kind? Whatsoever!

Someone high up didn’t want them to be found and waited until we left.


Why would George Bush want to keep it quiet?

Moved back seems like a possibility, especially with Syria WMD issues.

They found it right where it was supposed to be; where the US military was allowed to catalog, but not destroy the stuff.

Why the hell wasn't this stuff destroyed? Who was in charge? Was the decision not to destroy the stuff political or military chain of command?

I want to ask W. These questions.

The President only knows a tiny fraction of what is going on.

Someone did not want him to know. Probably a ‘rat since it would have vindicated the “WMD” factor for attacking Iraq

The Rats are going to be all over this and use it to Obama’s advantage.

The stone age barbarians have been joined by some of Saddams former Baathist political cronies and military officers.

They know where he (they) hid the stuff.

The citizens of The United States are too stupid and fearful to handle the truth about world events.....or so our government thinks. Then, it becomes easier for the politicians and bureaucrats to justify withholding more information from the citizens because it would just frighten them. Pretty soon, they don’t let us know any bad news.

How in the world can a Democracy function in a nation where the government won’t tell you when they screw up?

Poor excuse.

GWB was not like Obama. Bush had competent people surrounding him and he knew.

W isn’t talking. He is letting Obama drive the nation and world into the ground, spending his time like lobotomized mental patient, painting pictures of dogs.

Ask Cheney

I have been asking for years. If it was not nuclear, it did not fit the template. I get the impression the EPA wouldn’t allow them to be burned in place, and no one wanted to be responsible for trying to move them out of the country and risk an incident.

That's not the only question here. WMD's were the whole reason for invading Iraq. If these really are Saddam's WMD's, Bush had to have known about it. Why didn't Bush call a news conference and announce it to the world? That would have vindicated the invasion, at least to some.

Something is very wrong about this whole situation.

I distinctly recall a NYT article in mid to late 2000s that referred to 500 tons of yellowcake in Iraq that was in the process of being moved or destroyed (can’t now remember).

I remember it whenever some lying Democrat gets on TV and whines about “No WMD”.

Gawd, I hate these people.

Maybe someone who didn’t like Bush didn’t want them found. The state dept. is full of them. CIA? Pentagon? They did produce weasels like Weasly Clark an Bowell Powell.

I saw, only one time, a newscast that showed Russian flat bed trucks with long, cylinder shaped objects draped in some kind of cloth. It was satellite shots and they were thought to be going into Syria.

I never saw that segment again, it just fell into a black hole sorta like the segment that aired showing Rodney King attacking police officers before he got the he11 beat out of himself.

Everybody knew that Saddam had gassed the Kurds years before so why does it surprise anyone that these things were found. The better question is why did the Bush bunch never fight fire with fire? Why did they, to this day, not say that they did find WMD’s? Seems likely that Bush and Obama are on the same side. Remember when Bush Sr. spoke during a state of the Union address of the New World Order? I do.

In his last analysis after coming up empty handed AGAIN...The Chief UN inspector during Bush’s years said....”If they don’t take us to where the weapons are, we’ll never find them.”

Didn’t want to insult the liberals that were attacking him?

Cause there weren't none there. Didn't you get the memo? The libs all say that...

I’d like to ask George Bush that question.

That's a great question. I'd like for Megyn Kelly to ask him that question.

What will she be wearing???

And now the Rats and Obama are going to use it to their advantage by taking away attention from Obama’s fumbling and treachery.

Pretty interesting how the US, with the highest technology in history, couldn’t find the weapons in 10 years but the a rag tag bunch of stone-age tribesmen found the stuff in 2 days...

Been thinking that since I heard the reports.
