There Were No WMDs in Iraq II

They never found the "smoking gun", could this be the "last nail in the coffin"? An Iraqi nuclear scientist claims that, on Saddam's orders, he buried plans and papers for the Iraqi's nuclear program in his back garden - 12 whole years ago!.

This confirms the evidence from other Iraqi scientists who have been interviewed, all of whom state that Saddam ceased his nuclear and biological weapons programs over ten years ago. According to Australia's Bulletin magazine, "the scientists have been threatened, coaxed, offered all kinds of incentives, including safe haven outside Iraq for their families. Nothing changes their stories."

Of course, that doesn't change the fact that there certainly WERE some deadly WMDs in Iraq at the end of Gulf War I. As comedian Jay Leno quipped: "We know Saddam had weapons of mass destruction - we sold them to him!" That's right. UN forces that drove Iraq out of Kuwait discovered deadly toxins which were biologically traced to shipments from the good old USA.

Bush and Blair are now turning on the press. MSNBC reports that intelligence officials, "who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity", have challenged a New York Times story about those so-called WMD trailers. These un-named officials say the two paragraphs report was drafted by “uninformed” State Department experts. At the same time, they concede that the June 2 memo did warn that it was “premature,” to conclude that the mobile trailers were biological labs.

In the UK, Blairs boys are aggressively attacking a BBC report which claimed Blair knew in advance that the claim that Iraq could launch WMDs "within 45 minutes" was false. Sounds like they are trying to claim they were (a) naive or (b) lied to rather than (c) liars.
