Kay on Today: "It Was Absolutely Prudent to Go to War Against Saddam" (Remarkable New Info)

The Today Show

" If you can hide one of these, image how easy it would be to hide a liter of anthrax...."

Not to mention hiding all the mass graves, filled with tens of thousands of people. The liberals' inability to use the most fundamental of reasoning processes and common sense is truly astounding.

Thanks for the ping. I feel better about the political situation but no less better about the quality of our intelligence. Couple this with our ridiculous immigration policy - or lack thereof - and it begins to look like we are sitting ducks!

My mother used to play that song back in the 50's to my brother, sister, and me in the school night when we went to sleep. I love that song, brings back alot of memories.

There was never any doubt that they existed at one time and were even declared. So if they're not there and they weren't moved, what happened to them?

Perfectly and simply said. Count on you to get it right so easily! Danke!

MILLIONs of 'security moms" still tune into to the Today Show. Godd for Kay.

George Tenet has ALWAYS been Bush's Weakest Link!!!

Great report!!!

I seems like Kay is going a few steps further than his job description requires. He seems to be making final conclusions on 'what happened'. What he is doing seems to overstep his role. He is leaving the job at a time when the work is unfinished, but he is talking like the search teams have wrapped up and are heading home. He should speak in speculative terms, but instead speaks in definitive terms about how the scientists simply didn't deliver. That may be the case, but we sure don't 'know' that at this point. They could be buried, moved out of the country, or sold.

Seems to me like he is positioning himself for an upcoming book release or something.

"Lauer's supportive tone was almost as equally surprising. "

Probably, Lauer was just flummoxed and confused, in which case the preferred fall-back approach for a TV "Cocking Head" is to smile and be agreeable.

...intelligence community...like Valerie Plame et al.

IMHO-The WMDs exist, they have just been moved. If you could blame anything on W, It would be for taking too long to go in. One small amount of anthrax, nerve agent, or biological agent can kill many. If Saddam's WMD made it to Syria or Iran, the terrorists have it and are planning on how to deliver them to us.

"There's no evidence that stockpiles were shipped elsewhere....."

When did this all start to be about "stockpiles?"

You could a million people with bio/chem and never have a "stockpile" of it.

[demlosers]

Lauer: "But the intent to develop WMDs was there?"

Kay: "Absolutely, Saddam surely wanted to get WMDs and spent a lot of money trying to do so."

I would have bet the whole planet on this one, there never was doubt.

"never underestimate the power of the halfwit liberal mind"

There's another kind? Oh yeah; the dimwits, the nitwits, the twits....and of course, the most prevalent of all....the "what wits?"

[alnick]

Yours is a purely political argument. Most Americans are more interested in the national security aspect of this war.

BTW, where do you think WMD come from, if not WMD programs?

[demlosers]

If Katie and Matt keep this up, I could be out of my "job" at FR, reporting on blatant liberal bias at The Today Show!

I'm sooo disappointed...haha.

Don't worry, those two will be back on track after their next NY cocktail party.

The democrats are sad ~ very sad!

The RATS Are In Disarray ~ Eradicate The Rodents!

Fire Democrats ~ Hire Republicans!

You will love this.

"But I think it might be giving Lauer and the rest of the vast left-wing conspiracy a little too much credit for long-range planning."

Not necessarily; just an ability to follow their marching orders from the queen b*tch herself. They are easily manipulated because they are weak-minded fools.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Ping-a-ling-a-ling.

[windchime]

Looking forward to the report! The October report indicated more potential for WMD than was stated by Kay in interviews.
