    This "liberal" friend thinks the story is not true. White House stooge David Kay.

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...n_re_mi_ea/iraq_weapons_hunt&cid=540&ncid=716

    The findings cited by Kay included:


    _ On biological weapons, a single vial of a strain of botulinum, a poison that can be used as a weapon, located at the home of a known biological weapons scientist.

    _ On chemical weapons, multiple sources told the weapons hunting group that Iraq did not have a large, ongoing, centrally controlled program after 1991. There had been reports that Iraq retained some of its old chemical weapons but Kay said none had been found.

    _ On nuclear weapons, Kay said in his statement to Congress that despite evidence of Saddam's continued ambition to acquire nuclear weapons, "to date we have not uncovered evidence that Iraq undertook significant post-1998 steps to actually build nuclear weapons or produce fissile material."


    I guess this is just more bad intelligence from the Clinton admin? Or is the story posted by the threadstarter sending everyone's *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# meter off the scale?

    Good point. I'd forgotten all about the bio RVs. Bush said he was certain those were roaming bio-weapons labs. And the certifuge planted under a rose bush. I think the term used to describe that find was "huge."

    It is time to start dealing with reality, and that is that Bush lied about the set up of the war. He lied, and now we have an expensive mess on our hands.

    White House spokesman McClellan was asked about this Kuwaiti story yesterday and he said he knew nothing about it.

    Of course, these days McClellan seems to know nothing about everything, but I think his response to the question says a lot about the story.
