Saw it; it wasn't too bad. Could have been better.

The nuances will be beyond most people, IMO.

As a soldier said months ago from Iraq: We have the coffee filter, the coffee grounds, the milk, cream, coffee cup. Just no coffee.

Oh I don't think for one second it was a bluff.

I think it's hidden/buried. I think he may have sold it or transferred it to another country for retrieval when in "exile". I think some of it was kept in separate components/buildings and could be quickly mixed when the need arose.

He's hidden planes. It's easy from what I gather to hide because the components are small. And Kay has the equipment part down pat - which isn't easy to hide.

That soldier who gave the coffee analogy is a smart cookie because that is an analogy that the most scientifically challenged among us can understand!

This is still pretty damning of those who said Saddam didn't have WMD and a WMD program..

It's very damning. Either the WMD are still hidden, or Saddam had adopted a strategy of working on perfecting them without actually producing them.

Either way, he was doing what he had agreed not to do.

The BBC, or, as it is known by its other title, Information Ministry for the Axis of Evil.

But they do bring up this point: We have discovered dozens of WMD-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed from the United Nations during the inspection that began in late 2002. This alone is enough to refute the naysayers.

It's always shocking to run into those who believe Saddam didn't ever have WMD. He used them, for crying out loud, and it's been well documented by human rights organizations, the UN, etc.

Some people don't like to let the facts get in the way of their agenda.

Great analogy.

This is damning...

"Debriefings of IIS officials and site visits have begun to unravel a clandestine network of laboratories and facilities within the security service apparatus. This network was never declared to the UN and was previously unknown.

Interesting the BBC clips don't mention that Kay said he's found enough supportive evidence to back up Blair's testimony.

Can't remember which thread I read that on. Can't find it now either. I hope what Kay said on TV comes out in transcript somewhere.
