Anyone see Frontline last night? Chasing Saddams Weapons...
follows closely with "Uncovered:The Truth About The War With Iraq"

David Kay is such a polical hack it's sickening.

With the naming of a new head for the ISG, the goal is to continue to "search" for weapons past November (election) to keep the controversy going or as Hans Blix said - Better for this Bush Administration to have a "controversial" resolution than to have to admit it was wrong (lying).

Another scenario is to "find" planted weapons right before the election...

Too many experts have said Iraq has NO weapons. Even Hussein Kamel, Saddams defecting son-in-law, said all the weapons were destroyed.

US won't allow reporters access to scientists and engineers close to the WMD program who are being held prisoner. Why? Afraid they might tell the truth? Instead we are left with Bush cronies relating the purported words of these people. Sorry, you people are not trustworthy and its a sad damn day in America when I believe them over you.

1. saw it.
very interesting program. Its clear that there was no real reason to beleive that Saddam still had stockpiles of WMDs or that he was any threat to the USA.

2. Chin up all!!!
That is sickening. They are intent on distracting and mileading people, because they have the power. I seriously believe it is really backfiring. Even after years of the media painting a picture, Americans still have serious doubts and concerns.

3. yes
made me wonder, if they were so sure the WMD were there, shouldn't they be frantically looking for them rather than mumbling and waiting for everyone to forget?
On the other hand, if the WMD was an excuse, what better tact than just waiting for everyone to forget?

4. and, if Iraq had them, why didn't they use them in defending their country
They were saving them for the future when the most powerful military in the world was defeated on the battlefield? yeah, and I own a bridge in Brooklyn I have for sale.....

7. And even if they had them...so what?
Every country has weapons...why attack because of this? Even the lies about Iraq don't justify the war. NOTHING justifies it.

11. Dianne Sawyer interviewing the Chimp was telling
The simple son-of-bitch got very coercive glaring at her in thin lipped, barely contained fury and repeating insistently that Saddam was a threat. His rat eyes showing his contempt for the Press.


This is the overbearing manner he uses to deal with his staff I'm sure.

As this chimp implodes that whiny, sleazy grin/smirk is going to get increasingly more pronounced.

Watching it made me want to backhand the sniveling fascist prick.
