Yeah... Just for the record, hunt for WMD near officially over - New England Patriots Forums

Hunt for WMD in Iraq almost over.

More than four years after the fall of Baghdad, the United Nations continues to spend “millions of dollars in Iraqi oil money to continue the hunt for Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction.” But a new report in the New York Times indicates that the search “appears close to an official conclusion, several years after their absence became a foregone one”:

The United States and Britain have circulated a new proposal to the members of the United Nations Security Council to “terminate immediately the mandates” of the weapons inspectors. Staff meetings on the latest proposal have already taken place, and officials say that the permanent Council members, each of whom has veto power, seem ready to let the inspection group — the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission — meet its end.

October will be the third anniversary of the American-led Iraq Survey Group’s finding that the Hussein government had destroyed its stockpiles of illicit weapons just months after the Persian Gulf war in 1991.

It realtes to the general consensus on WMD in Iraq both before and during the Bush administration. This address the issue of WMD in Iraq.

The fact that we can't locate the materials in Iraq is not a BFD IMO why? While we were screwing around with the UN for 9 months before going into Iraq Saddam had all the time needed to move the material out of Iraq.

There are numerous reports he did just that. See the book written by the ex #2 officer in the Iraqi AF who said that Chem weapons were sent to Syria.

sad and pathetic assessment that you're still clinging to, probably until the very day you expire.... unfortunately for you, and your war-mongering stance, the Iraq Survey Group disagrees with your selective "evidence"

scores of weapons inspectors were in Iraq long before we were "screwing around with the UN"... they found nothing... if you knew the slightest thing about WMD production, you would realize (but still deny) that you can't just clean up WMD programs without a shred of evidence left behind...

further, Iraq and Syria weren't even speaking with eachother until fairly recently

According to Department of Defense documents based on more than a decade of international inspections, electronic surveillance, and information supplied by spies and defectors, nearly all the chemical and biological weapons sold to Iraq - mostly by American and European corporations - are now useless, that is if they exist at all.

Former United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter has said as much, pointing out that the nasty stuff Saddam had in his possession all those years ago has long since turned to harmless slop. For instance, the nerve agents sarin and tabun have a shelf life of five years. VX lasts a bit longer, but not much. Botulinum toxin and liquid anthrax last about three years. Nearly all the chemical and biological weapons the Evil One had at his disposal have since turned to "harmless, useless goo," according to Ritter.

Scott Ritter the child molester????

The ISG qualified their report saying they "didn't think" WMD was sent to Syria, this of course means THEY DON"T KNOW. Iraqi's involved in shipping the material to Syria in 2002 & 2003 contradict this opinion in the Part of the ISG.

And of course as we see from the youtube link above all the leading democrats with access to the availiable intel before and during the Bush administration felt that Iraq definitly had WMD.

Dem lied people died??

Obviously Bush was wrong and screwed up. Just like the Republican AND DEMOCRAT congressmen who voted for the war - and the 94 out of 100 Senators who didn't even read the National Intelligence Estimate.

This is obviously largely Bush's fault - and a lot of Democrats too, including Hillary.
