IRAQ- some links to terror

Anyone who is able to type "iraqwatch.org" into a browser will arrive at the Saddam military weapons data base compiled by the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control, so often quoted back in the years of U.S.-Soviet nuclear tensions. The Iraq Watch data base has enough history and documentation on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction to occupy a horrified reader for days.

You mention Ramadam in your message regarding his report on Saddam's labs -- here is a link to a story titled "West Nile Mystery" that appeared in New Yorker in 1999 by Robert Preston (remember "The Hot Zone"?). The article relays ramadan's story... worth the read. According to the story, Saddam's remake of the West Nile Virus causes a 97% fatality rate.

There was more direct intel linking Saddam to WMD and the development of delivery systems than there ever was linking Al-Qaeda to a specific attack on the US, yet the Libs want to crucify this admin for acting on the former and not being able to prevent the latter.

For this they should pay.

I suspect that) Iraq had active and ongoing nuclear and bio/chem programs but had no large stocks of bio/chem weapons.

He wouldn't need large stores unless he was planning a war, which our air power over the two no-fly zones pretty much precluded.

I further suspect the Iraqis had a decentralized bio/chem manufacturing system which relied on dual-use industries which could be converted to produce bio/chems rapidly at need.

Such facilities would be difficult to locate and identify conclusively.

Finally, I suspect that we have been caught up short because we relied on information from Arabs — who are among the most conniving, treacherous people in the world.

We probably based too much of our intelligence on what the Iraqi opposition told us, and they would say or do anything they thought we would believe in order to get us to whack Saddam.

I truly I hope the President ( and Mr. Blair ) are setting up a Machiavellian sucker-punch to the Left.

Backhoe, You are up to your usual extremly high standard of research and reference, congrats.

Of course you already know what this is all about: DemoRat liberal socialistic weaselism to enable them to continue treason and sabotage of America. Socialism must prevail at any cost.

Appreciate the comments... I saw somewhere a link detailing how the Iraqi chemical weapons program was- what do you call the bloody thing?- where the components are made only at the last moment & then combined. So there would never be large stocks of, say, VX.

It's terrific that you started this thread.

Let me add a few things, which contain statements of Democrats, including Daschle and Clinton showing that they are convinced Iraq has WMD:

What else are they going to run on while trying to re-grab the presidensity and Presidential Power?

The RATS are bankrupt, idea-wise. Nothing illustrates it more than their attempt to make this their Big Campaign Issue.

I applaud Backhoe for the monumental research he's done here. But most Americans are not even aware of the MAD-RAT race going on amongst the RATS.

I'd had a computer crash a few weeks ago...

Oh, Lordy, I sympathize- starting around Thanksgiving, my old 130mhtz 486 went through assorted conniptions and then died.
( It had had several virus-caused crashes & problems before, going back about a year...)
My wife "liberated" a 450mhtz AMD K-6 from an abandoned office at work ( it had been cannibalized ) and after about a month of swapping drives, video cards, modems, and getting a newer OS, I finally got the damnable thing to work OK. It sure was annoying, and while my link and data files were saved to floppies, I lost a ton of personal stuff like emails. Computers can be such a pain!

BTW, thanks for looking!

I thank you for the compliment, and it is clear to me that the Left will use any lie, distortion, or spin to gain power and damage our President.

They are just a pile of malcontents and Bush Haters. How I long for the old days when some democrats were honorable men.

Yes, but there was some darned acronym, like FIFO to describe it. I'll try to find the link later.

At least this time, I was a little smarter and bookmarked your resources sites. In the event of another crash (shudder), I'll still have those bookmarks. Last time I just had my Iraqi file sort of favorites list - years in the making - but Freepers have been helpful in finding those older articles.

The good news is I got a brand new computer and can't get over the increased speed. Bought a Dell - even those I can't stand those commercials! Regards
