    And ABC News has quoted several people and docs from the Iraqi government who said they did have WMD's and they were carted out via planes to Syria.

    What are these DEM's and lib's gonna do when the hammer comes down from document translations that we are doing that show they had an active WMD program? I mean to put all of your liberal talking points in one basket is not wise.

    I know what they'll do though...........they'll just move on to some other talking points.

    Arabic-speaker Professor Gilles Kepel, one of France's leading experts on al Qaeda, published last week "Al Qaeda dans le Texte," an analysis of the public and (intercepted) private utterances of the two Z's -- Ayman al-Zawahri (Osama bin Laden's No. 2) and Abu Musab Zarqawi, al Qaeda's insurgency honcho in Iraq. Stripped if its complexities, al Qaeda's strategy, Mr. Kepel explains, is to defeat the U.S. in Iraq, use this victory to roll over traditional oil-rich regimes in the Gulf that are security wards of the U.S., and then focus on Israel.

    Well, Senior knew, Calco.

    You've set me up to give you my favorite Bush Senior quote! From his 1997 memoir "A World Transformed" when he explained why he did not march on Baghdad in 1991:

    "Trying to eliminate Saddam ... would have incurred incalculable human and political costs... . We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq ... there was no viable 'exit strategy'. Had we gone the invasion route, The United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land."

    Pretty smart, huh?

    Conservative talking points do not not constitute evidence, you know. ABC News has also quoted people that said they were abducted by aliens.

    Saddam once had chemical weapons in the 1980's, but the facts are that there were no remaining chemical weapons after 10 years of UN destruction and inspections and daily American overfights. And there never was a viable nuclear weapons program. We still haven't found any WMD's. Saddam was bluffing and it was the worse mistake he ever made.

    They do wants nukes's bad, but they were never going to get them from Saddam. There are already islamic nukes in Pakistan and AL Qaida is trying to start a Taliban revolution there to get their hands on them. They are also trying to get their hands on missing Russian bombs from the cold war that are still unaccounted for. Most of these are probably in the hands of former soviet client states who are keeping them for future bargaining power. And some of these, like the Chechens and Khazaks are islamic . . .
