Colin Powell: Maybe Bush Did Make All This ***** Up |
Powell: Possible Iraq had no banned arms
- - - - - - - - - - - -
By George Gedda
Jan. 24, 2004 | TBLISI, Georgia (AP) -- Secretary of State Colin
Powell held out the possibility Saturday that prewar Iraq may not have
possessed weapons of mass destruction.
Powell was asked about comments last week by David Kay, the outgoing
leader of a U.S. weapons search team in Iraq, that he did not believe
Iraq had large quantities of chemical or biological weapons.
"The answer to that question is, we don't know yet," Powell told
reporters as he traveling to this former Soviet republic to attend the
inauguration Sunday of President-elect Mikhail Saakashvili.
Powell acknowledged that the United States thought deposed leader
Saddam Hussein had banned weapons, but added, "We had questions that
needed to be answered.
"What was it?" he asked. "One hundred tons, 500 tons or zero tons? Was
it so many liters of anthrax, 10 times that amount or nothing?"
Almost a year has passed since Powell's speech before the U.N.
Security Council in which he accused Iraq of violating a U.N. weapons
ban.
Since then, the Bush administration has been less categorical on the
issue, contending that Saddam was actively pursuing banned weapons.
The administration generally has avoided the issue of actual
possession.
President Bush, in his State of the Union address on Tuesday, cited an
interm report by Kay in October in which the inspector claimed to have
found dozens of weapons-related programs in Iraq. Those programs would
be continuing if the United States had not acted to oust Saddam's
government, Bush said.
Vice President ***** Cheney, in an interview Wednesday with National
Public Radio, said the administration had not given up on the search
for weapons. The "jury is still out," he said.
"It's going to take some additional, considerable period of time in
order to look in all the cubby holes and the ammo dumps and all the
places in Iraq where you might expect to find something like that,"
Cheney said. "It doesn't take a large storage space to store deadly
toxins, or even just the capacity to produce it."
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Friday that the
administration stands by its assertions that Iraq had banned weapons
at the time of the U.S.-led war and that it was only a matter of time
before inspectors uncover their location.
"We believe the truth will come out," he said.

How can they possibly have verifiable evidence that the weapons exist
(which is what they're claiming) but not have a clue where they are?

As was pointed out at the time,they kept the receipts for the stuff
they sold them a dozen years earlier.
But the crap they made with it had a short shelf-life.

They did then. They didn't in 2003, when Powell and Bush claimed they
did.

Heinlein was only off by 12. He predicted in 1950 that the US would vote
itself a religious dictatorship in 2012.

It's an uncannily accurate description of Cheney's approach.
And no, it's not sad to see that Eric Arthur Blair was off by 20
years.
It's a minor relief.
