"Back in 1995 the UN was asked to destroy these explosives. They didn't do so on the basis that they weren't part of a WMD program and therefore they weren't that important, and it was Hans Blix that ran the International Atomic Energy Agency at that point.
One of his underlings, one of his interns was Mohammed ElBaradei. So what they did instead of destroying the explosives, they sealed them. Today we learn that the seals were ineffective because of ventilation slats on the sides of the Al Qaqaa dump! So the seals were ineffective. This is a botched job from the get-go by the IAEA and it is apparent that what's happening here is the UN botched this and is trying to shift blame to the Bush administration -- with the willing accomplices and the assistance of the New York Times, CBS and the John Kerry campaign."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Is that the info we should have had and worked on accordingly? That seals were placed on "non-important weapons", and only now,
less than a week before the elections, coincidentally
has it just been discovered that these indeed were worth protecting?
Really, what is it? The info we went to war on you guys call B.S. on, yet we are supposed to have acted with surety and decisive action based on info from the U.N.
Then, according to the inspectors, there were no WMD's, these powders were cosidered to be non-important, and
NOW these powders should have been protected with all the security measures Bush could dream up,
The purpose of these powders is that they are meant to be used with WMD's, and although WMD's "NEVER EXISTED"
in Iraq,
NOW you feel some outrage over the fact that these items were removed somehow, some time, although the time, person, and date they were removed has never been given. You too are willing to run with a story that thus far is over a year old and has the specifics of a guess at the amount of jellybeans in a jar.
What's next? Are we gonna find out that the "weapons" being sold to Sadaam in violation of the sanctions were really blowdart guns
There's a few more days.....hey, I opened my window and felt the wind blowing. Does that mean a few MORE of your positions are gonna change?
