When I first saw this article in the New York Times I figured it was just another attempt to rehash the story the left pushed so hard a week before the 2004 presidential election. But no...
Looting at Weapons Plants Was Systematic, Iraqi Says.
BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 12 - In the weeks after Baghdad fell in April 2003, looters systematically dismantled and removed tons of machinery from Saddam Hussein's most important weapons installations, including some with high-precision equipment capable of making parts for nuclear arms, a senior Iraqi official said this week in the government's first extensive comments on the looting.
Did you see it? The New York Times has discovered WMD in Iraq. Nukes, no less. One wonders how they will square this with their "Bush lied" meme. Certainly they will retract it, n'est pas?
I won't hold my breath, I hate turning purple and passing out.
This isn't even the first time MSM has found WMD in Iraq (even though they're not there). Just over a year ago, in a similar effort to embarrass the Bush administration, NBC found that al Quaeda (who wasn't in Iraq before the US attack) was in Iraq before the attack, and they were making WMD (which weren't there either). It's all very confusing--I can't follow their logic at all.
The article from a year ago had no legs--I'm not sure why--no doubt MSM will stick with this new story until it's completely explained to the public; no stone left unturned.
