5/17 So, motd liberal pundits, why the uncanny silence about the Sarin gas
in Iraq? Was this staged by Bushco as an election year ploy?
\_ Wasn't it just months ago that all you freepers were saying that
it was never about the WMDs? Sheesh!! Get it straight. Which one
is it? The WMDs? The al Queda links?
\_ It was ... a lot of reasons ... they were given in Bush's address,
in some order. You do have room in that brainy head of yours for
more than one, right?
\_ Good dodge! *You* were saying that no WMD meant there was no
justification. Now that we have the second WMD attack in 4 weeks
*you* need to justify your reasons for leaving a butcher in
control of Iraq.
\_ Oh, nobody's getting butchered now that Saadam's out of power.
Well, nobody but 700 or so American's and thousands more
civilians. I'm saying that when the WMD were never found you
freepers conveniently changed the reason for going to war.
\_ Which part of "left over from the Iraq-Iran War" part of the
story didn't you get?
\_ NO WMDS IN IRAQ! FALSE PREMISES!
\_ You want to invade on the basis of one sarin gas shell?
\_ Oh ho, now it's not NO WMDS IN IRAQ!, it's NOT ENOUGH WMDS
IN IRAQ! You have to admit though, that last line doesn't
sound as good when you chant it at a peace rally.
\_ Nobody chanted "no wmd!" at peace rallies, you stupid
troll/tool.
\_ trool!
\_ Of course they did, dummyhead. I was at several of
the ones in SF. They sure as hell did chant such
things and put it on their signs and painted it on
their bare sagging breasts.
\_ we thought the WMDs were there because they were manufactured
by American companies and we knew exactly what they were-
except as it turns out they were all destroyed. Why don't
you actually read the news for once, conservative stooge?
you aren't doing yourself a favor by parroting the deceptions
of BushCo- you are only hurting yourself.
\_ Jesus H Christ, what orifice did this come out of?
American made WMDs? We knew exactly where they were?
What solar system are you from?
\_ Kofi, Kerry, Clinton, Albright, and everyone else thought
they were there in bulk and that it was an imminent danger.
We should shit can all these conservative stooges.

Powell admits intelligence was a load of shit.
\_ FALSE PREMISES!
\_ Your cowardly lickspittle President cannot save himself with one
sarin gas shell, lackey.
\- gee, maybe the us should invade japan to save it. --psb
\_ Um, Partha, did you miss the bulletin? The US owns japan.
\_ Partha, Japan is already a US satellite state, and has been
since 1945.
\_ hehe if you were a conservative stooge you'd be screaming about
Kerry's war criminal record and how GWB may have just saved us
all, since where there's smoke there's fire. But you're a
liberal so you spout their talking points instead. Can you
think for yourself for once? |

Powell Says CIA Was Misled About Weapons By DAVID E SANGER Published: May 17, 2004 W ASHINGTON, May 16 Secretary of State Colin L Powell said for the first time on Sunday that he now believes that the Central Intelligence Agency was deliberately misled about evidence that Saddam Hussein was developing unconventional weapons. He also said, in his comments on the NBC News program "Meet the Press," that he regrets citing evidence that Iraq had mobile biological laboratories in his presentation to the United Nations on Feb. The assertion about the mobile labs was one of the most dramatic pieces of the presentation, which was intended to make public the Bush administration's best case for invading Iraq. But on Sunday, Mr Powell argued that the CIA itself was misled, and that in turn he was, too. "Unfortunately, that multiple sourcing over time has turned out not to be accurate," Mr Powell said, going farther than he did on April 2 when he conceded that the intelligence was not "that solid." On Sunday, Mr Powell hinted at widespread reports of fabrications by an engineer who provided much of the most critical information about the labs. Intelligence officials have since found that the engineer was linked to the Iraqi National Congress, an exile group that was pressing President Bush to unseat Mr Hussein. "It turned out that the sourcing was inaccurate and wrong and in some cases, deliberately misleading," Mr Powell said in the interview, broadcast from Jordan. That was a sharp contrast to comments four months ago by Vice President Dick Cheney, who said the administration still believed that the trailers were part of a program of unconventional weapons, and added that he "would deem that conclusive evidence" that Mr Hussein in fact had such programs. Taken with past admissions of error by the administration or its intelligence agencies, Mr Powell's statement on Sunday leaves little room for the administration to argue that Mr Hussein's stockpiles of unconventional weapons posed any real and imminent threat. "Basically, Powell now believes that the Iraqis had chemical weapons, and that was it," said an official close to him. "And he is out there publicly saying this now because he doesn't want a legacy as the man who made up stories to provide the president with cover to go to war." |
