Report: Weapons Team To Leave Iraq
May 11, 2003
The group of scientists, computer experts and special forces troops leading the search for proof of outlawed weapons is preparing to go home empty handed, the Washington Post reported today.
The weapons may still be in the hands of Iraqi special units and could still be used against coalition forces there, the top U.S. military officer said Sunday.
Members of the 75th Exploitation Task Force found sites identified by Washington to be inaccurate, destroyed by looters, or both, the Post reports. The group is expected to leave next month.
The Bush administration cited the suspected presence of hundreds of tons of biological and chemical agents and evidence of an ongoing nuclear weapons program as the prime reason for launching the war against Iraq. [..]

Yes, folks. THERE WERE NO WMD.
Everything, from 1441 all the way through the invasion and occupation of Iraq. All of it was a lie.
Bush will blame the intel community, but that’s bullshit because the neoconservatives in the administration have been trying to get Iraq since, well, forever.
Bush will also blame the looters. And about 1 in 10 Americans will buy it, too, because they’re not clever enough to ask a simple question: If you knew the weapons where stored there, how irresponsible do you have to be to not make plans to secure the place?

Mmm…the taste of delicious delicious crude oil…
To be positive, at least I can be glad that Iraq really DIDN’T have WMDs to use in retaliation. But you know, the war strategists were probably counting on that fact…
One thing that makes me laugh: Throughout the entire coverage of the war, WMDs were rarely mentioned. You’d think that if that was the main precedent for the attack that those suspected sites would have been the first places that the military would have secured.
Instead, what were the first secured areas?

What does one say when people are willing to forego all common sense and allow this propaganda to continue? We who think beyond the “limited” symbolism of a flag and “rah rah” attitude will just have to get good and nasty over the next year and a half in order to take back our country.
I saw something similar in the headlines of a Utah newspaper last week. I was a little surprised that it would make front page news, there.
On a more positive note, it was good to meet you on the weekend and put a face (and cool shoes) to the name!
