I heard the same. I'm getting to be a faithful listener to the Loftus report. He keeps us about 2 weeks ahead of the curve.

The French Connection - SH virtually funded Chiraq and his party's rise to prominence. In exchange, SH demanded and got material to build a nuclear reactor (at Al Tuwatha). The reactor was bombed twice, once by Israel (don't recall the year) and once by the US during Desert Storm.

SH tightened the screw on Chiraq during the past year, resulting in Chiraq's undying allegiance and the acquisition of military materiel prohibited by the sanctions--tanks, etc. marked with the year 2002. Those have been found and reported on. The last demand--that France provide leading Iraqis with visas to pass into Europe. The French obliged.

It will be interesting to see how these revelations play in the European Press. The press in the UK will have a field day with this, to be sure. But actually, in the eyes of the French people, who consider SH saintly and GWB as evil, these revelations will probably make Chiraq even more of a hero.

Doubtful that many in the world community will ever roll out the red carpet for Chiraq again. And the U.S. should refuse to be part of the U.N. if it insists on allowing France to remain as a member of the Security Council.

I just remembered. Loftus said that the Wall St. Journal was going to be covering either the Chiraq or Baradei angles in the next few days. Do you have any knowledge of that? I searched FR for an article and found none. I imagine the story would be on the pay per view Wall Street site, which I don't subscribe to.

That's the first I heard of him (loftus). I don't listen to WABC at night that often, since I can only pick up the station if I'm in the car.

So I get home and I'm trying to type in john-lofton.com and obviously, that was incorrect. Thanks to you, now I know it's loftus. I bookmarked that baby. Also, it was interesting for loftus to say that saddam is dead for sure. And that we are keeping him alive because if he comes up dead, the war is over along with our intelligence gathering of detainees ends.

Loftus has maintained since day 1 that SH died on 3/19. He has revealed several interesting tidbits that at the time seemed preposterous, but later proved factual.

Yes, he did say the WSJ would be doing a piece and I have not seen it yet. If I do, I'll ping ya and you please do the same.

In fact, didn't he say Condi Rice and Company are TO'd that this story hasn't really broke yet, that is, about Chirac and Company in Saddams pocket?..... Also, that teams are back into the nuke site (the one bombed in 1981 and 1991) in Iraq and that much of the plutonium was dumped into the aquifer which will damage the environment for years to come?

Very interesting. What does Loftus say about Uday and Qusay?

I have not heard him address the fates of U and Q, but I can't say that he has not--I might have missed him when he did. But he is 100% certain SH met his maker on 3/19. He bases that partly on the intel about the "frantic digging" at the site and the stretcher bearing a man ID'd as SH which was carried out of the rubble. He has his own sources which might have revealed other info to him which he has not revealed publicly.

A few days ago, he talked about the 5 special ops that painted the 3/19 decapitation target--how they did it and how they got away. Very interesting stuff.

Correction. Loftus has just said tonight that U and Q died on 3/19 along with their father.

Thanks, that would be great, and his track record is impressive. You've made a Loftus convert.:) I see on his website that "John's nightly comments on current events, "The Loftus Report" can be heard on ABC National Radio, the Batchelor and Alexander Show at 10:35 EST each weeknight. Internet access obtained through WABCRadio.com.".
