    A joke a day: GWB's radio speech

    For more than a decade, Saddam Hussein went to great lengths to hide his weapons from the world. And in the regime's final days, documents and suspected weapons sites were looted and burned.
    So he's going to spin some new lies to cover his old lies?

    The intelligence services of many nations concluded that he had illegal weapons and the regime refused to provide evidence they had been destroyed.
    The question is, how much?

    We are determined to discover the true extent of Saddam Hussein's weapons programs, no matter how long it takes.
    You mean you don't know, Dubya? What the hack happened to your list, with 25,000 liters of anthrax spores plus a whole bunch of other stuff?

    isn't it really a bit late in the day to start (well ok not start for UR, but still...) whining about the iraq war now.

      yet more anti-US bashing.

      "So he's going to spin some new lies to cover his old lies?"

      No, he's explaining a possible reason why weapons haven't yet been found.

      "The question is, how much?"

      How much what?

      If I expertly hid something like that in Western Europe somewhere, reckon you could find it in under two months?

        Not personally, but given the resources of the US military and the free run of the region, sure.
        One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

            I'm kind of curious why UR is taking a position to the left of Blix. If your going to ***** abotu the Iraq war, WMD is the least relevent point to attack.

              It is said that it took 6 months after the VE day to confirm Hitler's death. Don't know if that is true, or it is an embellishment.

              Re the WOMD, we just don't know. When you don't know, it's smart to be silent on the subject. Bush shouldn't talk about it until there is something more definitive.

                Given the utter chaos in Iraq, I find it difficult to believe this. Saddam was able to completely conceal weapons (or weapons 'programs'), but the Iraqi army collapsed with barely a whimper?

                Not that gases and germs are particularly effective weapons, of course.

                  Sandman: Modern dictatorships have been known to have secret parrallel governments, governments within governments, and multiple weapons programs doing the exact same thing. Saddam had at least three independent governments answerable directly to him, IIRC. He was quite paranoid.

                  It seems quite possible to me that one of those governments functioned effectively until the end (or through the end). Whether another WMD program was part of that government is anybody's guess. It would not surprise me at all if the participants in one of the weapons programs (even highly placed) are telling the God's honest truth that they destroyed WMD in 91 or 94 or whenever, but that there were other programs running right until the end of the regime.

                    At all. Now we're talking. Imagine how many fewer rants there would be here and elsewhere if someone less.... moronic spoke for the President.

                    Everyone wins then.

                    I just love hearing the excuses change week after week. Who exactly is supposed to believe all of them?

                      He's not moronic at all. Neither are his lackeys. That's why I'm surprised that they're talking about it, since it just brings up the fact that they don't know the facts yet.

                          Whereas if you're going to ***** about WMD, WMD would be a good place to start.

                          But since UR never even mentioned the war, I think his comments at least deserve a better dismissal than that.

                            Even if a shadow government continued to produce weapons, how was it able to conceal them so effectively? Not one drop of nerve agent or anthrax has been found so far. Furthermore, the inefficiencies created by having multiple weapons programs hidden from each other, particularly in a country with limited access to expertise and materials, make it unlikely in my view.

                            Whilst Saddam has also not been found, members of his government have. If not one senior member of Saddam's government had been found, that would be extraordinary. Since no weapons have been found, the most likely conclusion is that they don't exist.

                              Silly Bodd's... you should know by now this isn't US-bashing. It's Bush-bashing. Bush doesn't represent the ideals of America: freedom, democracy, equal opprotunity and justice for all...

                              America is great, it's too bad we've been hijacked by an evil 4sshole.
                              To us, it is the BEAST.
