"I ALREADY knew our media had trouble telling the truth about Iraq.
After last week's shameful headlines, David Kay now sadly agrees. Kay leads the 1200 American, Australian and British experts searching for Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction, and last week gave an interim report on what they'd found.
Here's how it was sold to us. "Weapon hunt fizzles," declared the Hobart Mercury. "No weapons, no approval for Bush in poll," gloated the Sydney
Morning Herald. "Iraq search finds no WMD stockpile," said the Age. "US weapons hunt turns up nothing," added the Northern Territory News.
ABC's PM program was even surer of another US "setback": "No evidence of weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq," it trumpeted.
David Kay saw the same kind of headlines in the United States, and says he's "amazed" the media thinks his search has failed.
Did journalists actually read his report, which lists startling new evidence of Saddam's weapons?
Says Kay: "This is information (that), if it had been available last year, would have been headline news." He's now certain "we're going to find
remarkable things" in the future, too.
So let me go through his report, which you can read in full on the www.cia.gov website.
Right off, Kay kills the myth that Iraq never had many WMD.
The proof is in: "Iraq's WMD programs spanned more than two decades, involved thousands of people, billions of dollars, and were elaborately
shielded by security and deception operations that continued even beyond the end of Operation Iraqi Freedom." (the recent war)....."
"WHAT DID DAVID KAY FIND?
Hidden Labs, Documents And Equipment,
Biological And Chemical Weapon Catalysts,
UAV And Missile Programs, And More�"

"�We Have Discovered Dozens Of WMD-Related Program Activities And Significant Amounts Of Equipment That Iraq Concealed From The United Nations
During The Inspections That Began In Late 2002.� (David Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report On The Activities Of The Iraq Survey Group,
10/2/03)
� �A clandestine network of laboratories and safehouses within the Iraqi Intelligence Service that contained equipment subject to UN monitoring
and suitable for continuing CBW [Chemical and Biological Weapons] research.� (David Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report On The Activities
Of The Iraq Survey Group, 10/2/03)
� �A prison laboratory complex, possibly used in human testing of BW [Biological Weapons] agents, that Iraqi officials working to prepare for UN
inspections were explicitly ordered not to declare to the UN.� (David Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report On The Activities Of The Iraq
Survey Group, 10/2/03)
� �Reference strains of biological organisms concealed in a scientist�s home, one of which can be used to produce biological weapons.� (David
Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report On The Activities Of The Iraq Survey Group, 10/2/03)
� �New research on BW-applicable agents, Brucella and Congo Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), and continuing work on ricin and aflatoxin were not
declared to the UN.� (David Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report On The Activities Of The Iraq Survey Group, 10/2/03)
� �Documents and equipment, hidden in scientists� homes, that would have been useful in resuming uranium enrichment by centrifuge and
electromagnetic isotope separation (EMIS).� (David Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report On The Activities Of The Iraq Survey Group,
10/2/03)
� �A line of UAVs [Unmanned Aerial Vehicles] not fully declared at an undeclared production facility and an admission that they had tested one of
their declared UAVs out to a range of 500 km, 350 km beyond the permissible limit.� (David Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report On The
Activities Of The Iraq Survey Group, 10/2/03)
� �Continuing covert capability to manufacture fuel propellant useful only for prohibited SCUD variant missiles, a capability that was maintained
at least until the end of 2001 and that cooperating Iraqi scientists have said they were told to conceal from the UN.� (David Kay, Statement On The
Interim Progress Report On The Activities Of The Iraq Survey Group, 10/2/03)
� �Plans and advanced design work for new long-range missiles with ranges up to at least 1000 km - well beyond the 150 km range limit imposed by
the UN. Missiles of a 1000 km range would have allowed Iraq to threaten targets through out the Middle East, including Ankara, Cairo, and Abu Dhabi.�

� �Clandestine attempts between late-1999 and 2002 to obtain from North Korea technology related to 1,300 km range ballistic missiles --probably
the No Dong -- 300 km range anti-ship cruise missiles, and other prohibited military equipment.� (David Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report
On The Activities Of The Iraq Survey Group, 10/2/03)
� �With regard to Iraq�s nuclear program, the testimony we have obtained from Iraqi scientists and senior government officials should clear up
any doubts about whether Saddam still wanted to obtain nuclear weapons. They have told ISG [Iraq Survey Group] that Saddam Husayn remained firmly
committed to acquiring nuclear weapons.� (David Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report On The Activities Of The Iraq Survey Group, 10/2/03)
�In Addition To The Discovery Of Extensive Concealment Efforts, We Have Been Faced With A Systematic Sanitization Of Documentary And Computer Evidence
In A Wide Range Of Offices, Laboratories, And Companies Suspected Of WMD Work.� (David Kay, Statement On The Interim Progress Report On The
Activities Of The Iraq Survey Group, 10/2/03)"

Questions beg to be asked......
1) Is anyone refutting that Saddam had WMD at all? Does this only pertain to before and just after Gulf War 1?
2) If Saddam had stopped and destroyed all his remaining WMD prior to those 250,000+/- troops massing on his borders......
why then didn't he
just allow the UN inspectors or whomever
full access to prove it?
3) Hypothetically, since the US military, since the fall of Saddam's regime, who have control of the entire country and access thereof, and with
captured leading Iraqi weapons scientists couldn't or didn't find those "WMD"....whose to say that Mr. Hans Blix and his UN inspection team would
find them?
4) Also, because of the unprecedented amount of evidence provided by respectable information sources: Gloabl Securities, F.A.S., C.N.S., the UN
documentations, and
countless others......it would appear that they were all lying and decieving right?
5) Do any of you think the nation's of the UN Security Council would have agreed that Saddam/Iraq still had WMD if their nation's didn't know from
their own intelligence agencies that they did?
6) Since the US can't find them, it's quite apparent that Saddam doesn't have them....and thats fact?
It don't matter to me, though I go through this cycle of trying to justify otherwise. I'm a firm believer in the PNAC agenda, courtesy of you, MA,
but I, and this is my opinion, do seriously believe that Saddam did have WMD programs, as well. The man, Saddam, had them oor he dumped them off or
he destroyed them and if the latter is correct, then he was
more insane than anyone could have imagined......250,000+/- troops threatening to
remove you from power and he still wouldn't allow full access or show he had recorded that he actually destroyed what was not discovered already.
It's all insane to me......this wolrd is so freakin' screwed up, that sometimes I really think the truth will never be found.....on many things.
Good thread though MA....
