David Kay has declared that:
Iraq had no stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons.
"Large" stockpiles...
It did not, as claimed by Washington, ship out such weapons to Syria.
It
had none to ship.
Blatantly false. Kay said it was not only "possible" that Saddam moved
small amounts of WMD, technology, and documentation to Syria, but it was
"probable".
Iraq had no weapons programs to speak of after about 1995.
That is false as well. Kay said Iraq got rid of the large stockpiles,
but
continued work on long range delivery systems (a UN violation)...and kept
"the scientists and the technology" and other activities that point to an
intent to resume chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.
Iraq did not get any nuclear cake from Niger.
Nobody ever claimed they did. Saddam did *pursue* it, however...despite
what the nincompoop husband of that CIA employee says.
Kay's job was to find *weapons*. He didn't find 'em in Iraq. It's the
next
guy's job to find where they went. Afterall, Clinton was so convinced
they
existed in 1998, that he signed the Iraqi Regime Change Act. Was he
lying
too?
We must have watched the same show! Now, who to believe, you or this
"well-respected" (but pitifully dishonest) newspaper espoused by Harry
Krause as "first class for many decades."
Actually, John, I didn't watch much news this week. I did see some of Kay's
testimony replayed on C-Span (I think), last night...as I was flipping back
and forth with the USA Network's premier of "Traffic". I've also read
actual transcripts of Kay's words...rather than quote the opinions of some
leftist rag out of Toronto.
