Can you believe it - they actually think we are going to believe this one (and most people will). What an amazing coincidense it is that the reason we can't find WMD in Iraq is because Saddam had them destroyed days before the war started. I think in a related story, Rumsfeld said he saw Elvis the other day too.

Iraq May Have Destroyed Weapons Before War -U.S.

By Grant McCool

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Iraq (news - web sites) may have destroyed its purported chemical and biological weapons before the U.S.-led invasion in March, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Tuesday in an effort to explain why none had been found.


President Bush (news - web sites) and British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) cited their belief that Iraq had banned weapons of mass destruction as the main reason for the March 20 invasion that ousted President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s government.


Rumsfeld told the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations think-tank he did not know why Iraq had not used chemical weapons against the invaders as Washington had predicted it would.


He said the speed of U.S. advance may have caught Iraq by surprise, but added: "It is also possible that they decided that they would destroy them prior to a conflict."


Rumsfeld told his audience of foreign policy analysts, diplomats and business leaders that he suspected "we'll find out a lot more information as we go along and keep interrogating people."


Rumsfeld said Iraq was as large as California and search teams had only been working there seven weeks. He said there were hundreds of suspected sites to investigate.


"It will take time," said Rumsfeld.


On May 13, Maj. Gen. David Petraeus, commander of the Army's 101st Airborne Division, also raised the possibility that Iraq had destroyed its weapons stocks.


"I just don't know whether it was all destroyed years ago -- I mean, there's no question that there were chemical weapons years ago -- whether they were destroyed right before the war, (or) whether they're still hidden," Petraeus said.


MOBILE LABORATORIES


Rumsfeld said U.S. intelligence agents had confirmed that two trailers found in northern Iraq were mobile biological weapons laboratories. No actual biological weapons were found on either trailer, U.S. officials have said.


The Pentagon (news - web sites) was working with the Central Intelligence Agency (news - web sites) and other U.S. intelligence-gathering agencies to assess U.S. information obtained before the war and compare it with what has been found since, Rumsfeld said.


But he insisted there were no disagreements between agencies.


"We are looking at, before the conflict started, the kinds of things that we can benchmark," Rumsfeld said.


The defense secretary, who wrote in the Wall Street Journal Tuesday that Washington would prevent a "remake of Iraq in Iran's image," said Iran was "being unhelpful today with respect to Iraq."


"My personal view is that I'm still amazed at how fast it went from the Shah of Iran to the clerics, to the ayatollah," Rumsfeld said.


"Maybe we'll be favorably surprised some day that it will go back to something ... where the people of that country will have a broader voice and an opportunity to affect their lives, which clearly they're restricted from doing."

NEWS FLASH: WMDs or NO WMDs... The war is over Bush won, Sadaam lost...

WMDs are quite a moot point, because MOST Americans don't care, and so who's going to question Bush... The French???

If they were there as Mr Bush thinks they were, where are they now is the big question.

How long before Bush decides to invade somewhere else he thinks they might be?

And how long before they set up a democtratic goverment in Iraq and how democratic will it be?

The majority in Iraq are Shias and they will vote for an anti US Islamic State. Will this be allowed to happen or will it be the old Soviet form of democracy. You can vote, but only fot those we say you can vote for.

So many questions and the answer is; Iran and Syria are now the bad guys.

No you will when you have to start paying for it in your taxes.

Screwed economy + going to war = More tax $$$ needed and you can bet his buddies won't be paying it.

Actually, by Bush's own words (a few weeks ago) the war will not be over until .... " Saddam is found dead or alive and we find WMD" Maybe the reason most American's don't care is because our media is so heavily censored and pro-Bush that anybody who thinks to speak out against Bush is smeared to death. If you don't believe there is censorship here, you will notice that article came from a Canadian site. I was on the American version of Yahoo! for about 5 minutes before it was removed. So I tried to find it inside the news section (and I checked them all) and there is no link to it anywhere. Big news like this should not be removed wouldn't you think?

I saw a poll not too long ago that most Americans actually believe that Saddam was directly responsible for 9/11 and the simple truth of the matter is there is not one shred of proof to this. I even heard a stupid ass country pro-war song the other day that said remember that day as a justification for Iraq. One had nothing to do with the other.
