Those who have decided conclusively, from the comfort of their favorite armchair here in America, that WMD never existed, comes "Saddam Had WMD" from Investors Business Daily. It is the latest of many stunning revelations translated from tapes and documents of the Hussein regime.
Inconveniently for critics of the war, Saddam made tapes in his version of the Oval Office. These tapes landed in the hands of American intelligence and were recently aired publicly.
The first 12 hours of the tapes — there are hundreds more waiting to be translated — are damning, to say the least. They show conclusively that Bush didn't lie when he cited Saddam's WMD plans as one of the big reasons for taking the dictator out.
Nobody disputes the tapes' authenticity. On them, Saddam talks openly of programs involving biological, chemical and, yes, nuclear weapons.
War foes have long asserted that Saddam halted his WMD programs in the wake of his defeat in the first Gulf War in 1991. Saddam's abandonment of WMD programs was confirmed by subsequent U.N. inspections.
Again, not true.
Naturally, all of the revelations are being well covered, if not over-covered, by a main stream press desperate to make sure Americans are armed with the truth. Or not.
The more you doubt the existence of WMD, at odds with all common sense, the more necessary it is to read this entire article. Here's another excerpt:
Perhaps most chillingly, the tapes record Iraq Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz talking about how easy it would be to set off a WMD in Washington. The comments come shortly after Saddam muses about using "proxies" in a terror attack.
What is the left going to do when the "Bush lied" mantra falls apart? Given that the Bush administration has stated publicly that the intelligence regarding Iraq's WMD programs was in error, perhaps the new left mantra will be "Bush lied about lying."
