Un Inspections = $35m, David Kay/Bu$h Inspections = $300m There They Go Again |
HALLIBURTON THIEVING MOTHERFUCKERS! You Amerikan fucking idiots complain
about paying UN dues and throw away $300m on this *****, when the UN
inspectors already told you there was no WMD?
Now take a guess who that $300m of your tax $$$ went to. How stupid are
you Amerika?
1,200 weapons inspectors spent 90 days in Iraq. The exercise cost $300m.
And the number of weapons found? 0
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington and Paul Waugh
03 October 2003: (The Independent) Five months after the end of the war
in Iraq, a CIA adviser has admitted that his 1,200-strong team of
inspectors has discovered none of Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of
mass destruction.
"We have not yet found stocks of weapons," David Kay, the head of the
CIA-led Iraq Survey Group, said in a first report to closed-door sessions
of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, 90 days after the
arrival of his group in Iraq. Mr Kay insisted that lines of inquiry on
which the group were working might yet yield concrete proof. He hoped to
"draw a line" under his work in six to nine months. In the report he
argued that the bulkiest material that inspectors were searching for
could be hidden in spaces little larger than a two-car garage. "We are
not yet at the point where we can say definitively either that such
weapon stocks do not exist or that they existed before the war and our
only task is to find where they have gone".
He said: "Much evidence is irretrievably lost." He also blamed the slow
progress on the way Iraq had arranged its WMD activities, the widespread
destruction of materials and documents before the war, and looting of
suspect sites afterwards.
But the meagre results seem bound to reinforce contentions that the US
and British governments, wilfully or by error, grossly exaggerated the
scale and the imminence of any threat from Saddam.
Mr Kay could do no better than draw three broad conclusions from his
endeavours.
First, he reported the deposed Iraqi leader had "not given up his
intentions and aspirations of continuing to acquire WMD" and resuming
programmes once sanctions were lifted.
Second, had the Allies not invaded in March, the regime would have
continued to develop missiles with a range of up to 1,000km (630 miles),
considerably more than the 150km permitted by the UN.
Finally, the report states there were, at minimum, secret research and
development activities for chemical and biological weapons, under the
umbrella of the Iraqi intelligence services. Those would have left Saddam
with a trained corps of specialists, capable of moving swiftly ahead once
circumstances permitted. But the evidence unearthed thus far, on the
basis of what Mr Kay told Congress yesterday, does not start to measure
up to the apocalyptic warnings brandished by George Bush and Mr Blair
before the conflict.
On nuclear weapons, Mr Kay is equally downbeat. The team had found no
evidence Saddam took any significant steps to build weapons or produce
fissile materials after 1998 - when UN weapons inspectors left the
country for the last time before their brief return in the three months
before war began on 20 March.
The survey group, the report noted, had discovered documents showing
dialogue between Iraq and North Korea from 1999, including a meeting in
2000 in Baghdad. But at the time of the invasion, these discussions had
come to nothing.
Senior critics such as the former foreign secretary Robin Cook said the
failure to find any weapons or agents proved that Hans Blix, the chief UN
weapons inspector, should have been given more time to complete his work.
In Washington, Democrats were furious. "We need to do some serious
thinking about the doctrine of pre-emption," Jay Rockefeller, senior
Democrat on the Senate panel, said afterwards. "Yes, we have to wait, but
I'm distressed at the need for so much more time."
The Bush administration is seeking a further $600m (£360m) to fund the
WMD search. According to The New York Times, the request - part of the
$87bn of funding Congress is expected to approve - would increase the
size of Mr Kay's team to 1,400 and bring spending on the so-far futile
exercise to $1bn.
Mr Kay is said to have speculated that Saddam may even have been
bluffing, deliberately letting the West suspect he had chemical and
biological weapons, to deter an invasion. Some analysts think the Iraqi
leader ordered the weapons destroyed after (or even before) the 1991 Gulf
War.
