Bush's own man trashes his SOTU claims on WMDs Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Yep.

quote:
David Kay gave no reason for leaving but sources in Washington speak of a mixture of personal reasons and his disillusionment with the search.

He did say he believed Iraq had not had any large stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons during the 1990s.

"I don't think they existed," he told Reuters news agency in an interview.

The Iraq Survey Group (ISG) team leader was appointed by the CIA last June to head the post-invasion search for chemical, nuclear and biological weapons.


quote:
in his telephone interview with Reuters, he cast doubt on reports that Saddam Hussein - who used chemical weapons against Kurds and in the war with Iran in the 1980s - had continued his programmes in recent years.

"What everyone was talking about is stockpiles produced after the end of the last Gulf War and I don't think there was a large-scale production programme in the 90s," he said.

Mr Kay said he believed most of what was going to be found in the hunt had already been discovered.


It was also quoted on the news that Kay basically contradicted Bush's SOTU comments on "WMD Programs."

Plaudits to Kay for his honesty, and boos to Bush for being a lying sack of ****.

I gotta agree with Agathon here. This is major major news here. Day by day we see the case for the Iraq war crumble to dust just as we said it would . Major case of "told you so" is in order here .

Big news indeed, but not something we didn't know already, is it?

It is no longer that important for Bush to find the WMD. It would be a pleasant bonus of course, but it's not necessary. The number of inspectors have been (or will be) decreased anyway, and that alone shows us that apparently it's not a top priority anymore.

Yep a war for fictitious reasons, and I'm repeating myself here, but it's really not something we didn't know already!

Yes, but if you look back in the archive you will see plenty of Apolytoners believed him.

I think it's time to start the official Apolyton anti-war gloating party.

The wmd claims remind me of the way Hitler always claimed little countries had attacked Germany just about an hour before the unprovoked surprise attack was launched.

It's also just like the Gulf of Tonkin incident in which North Vietnam was claimed to have fired on US navy ships. The U.S. used this to justify intervention in Vietnam. It never happened.

Oh well - they are paying for it now. The whole war is a just a big pack of lies.

There was a great Frontline documentary on PBS Thursday night where Kay was saying the same stuff.



It was absolutely beautiful watching those ****sucking liars squirm and backpedal, especially since Kay was Bush's handpicked guy and advocated "regime change" as much as the Bush cabal.

What's frightening is that they may not pay for it. If this happens then I will no longer support democracy as it would be plain that it doesn't work.

Here's hoping Blair goes and then Bush, or that some decent citizen solves the problems with a couple of bullets.

Two points:

1) Bush's critics constantly distort and change what he actually said.

2) A lie is when someone says something that is not true but at the time he says it he knows it is not true.

In my observation, the critics of Bush equate the absence of WMD with lying without demonstrating that Bush knew at the time he made the statements that they were false.

Niger?

What did Bush actually say? I know what he said; but I would like you to tell me first so I can make a "demonstration" about you.
