A Few Home Truths
This piece is a must-read -- it points out a couple of very important facts that have been conveniently overlooked by the MSM and hypocritical Democrats. Here's just one of them:
For the past two years, international security experts like John Loftus have been saying that because the U.N. and French obstructionists delayed the United States entrance into the Iraq war for over a year, Saddam Hussein — having been forewarned by Sen. Rockefeller’s solo mission to the Arab world — was busy ferreting his WMD out of Iraq.
. . .
As early as January 2003, Loftus said, U.S. intelligence had identified a stream of tractor-trailer trucks moving from Iraq to Syria to Lebanon, but that "the significance of this sighting did not register on the CIA at the time." U.S. intelligence sources, Loftus continued, "believe the area contains extended-range Scud-based missiles and parts for chemical and biological warheads."
In August 2003, Loftus reported that U.S. intelligence suspected they had located the WMD, but "getting to them will be nearly impossible for the U.S. and its allies because the containers with the strategic materials… are located in Lebanon's heavily fortified Bekaa Valley, swarming with Iranian and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi agents."
Wouldn't it serve the Democrats right if some of this evidence surfaced in October of '06 or October of '08?

The claims Carol quotes are so bogus that it is hard to believe they are being put forward seriously.
The President of the United States had made it clear in the Fall of 2002 that he was more than willing to go to war to disarm Iraq. All of a sudden in 2003 semis start rolling from Iraq to Syria and Lebanon, and we are expected to believe that "the significance of this sighting did not register on the CIA at the time?" C'mon, how stupid does Loftus think his readers are?
Even if we pretend--defying all common sense--that these mythical tractor-trailers existed, what does Loftus want us to believe they were carrying? The equally mythical Iraqi WMDs. The problem is that Loftus forgot a much more complete intelligence report that demolishes his argument.
To refresh everyone's memory, the Deulfer Report summarizes the conclusion of the Iraq Survey Group. To date the Deulfer report remains the official US position on Iraq and WMDs. Quoting from the Deulfer Report we find...
Nuclear Weapons:
Saddam Husayn ended the nuclear program in 1991 following the Gulf war. ISG found no evidence to suggest concerted efforts to restart the program.
Chemical Weapons:
While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of chemical munitions thereafter...
Biological Weapons:
In practical terms, with the destruction of the Al Hakam facility, Iraq abandoned its ambition to obtain advanced BW weapons quickly. ISG found no direct evidence that Iraq, after 1996, had plans for a new BW program or was conducting BW-specific work for military purposes.
Which brings us to the following question. If Iraq never restarted its nuclear weapons program after 1991, destroyed its stockpile of chemical weapons in 1991, and abandoned biological weapons after 1996, how could these self-same weapons be carried out of Iraq in January of 2003?
The ever optimistic Carol concludes with "Wouldn't it serve the Democrats right if some of this evidence surfaced in October of '06 or October of '08?"
Given what is known to date, if any Iraqi WMD appear in '06 or '08, it will be a fairly convincing demonstration that someone has planted them.
