Skeets, my previous comment was regarding the media/military manipulation of the "rejoicing in the streets." I actually expected WMD to be found, and think it's still possible. Regarding the son-in-law, however, you have the facts wrong. His report is here: middleeastreference.org.uk
A quote, which was conveniently suppressed by the US in the UN presentation and elsewhere and which was eventually reported by Newsweek (http://64.176.94.191/article1773.htm):
In the interview (pages 7-8, 12 and 13), Kamel states categorically, "I ordered destruction of all chemical weapons. All weapons - biological, chemical, missile, nuclear were destroyed" (p. 13). He insisted that “nothing remained” of the biological program, that the production facility was turned to other uses, that he “made the decision to disclose everything so that Iraq could return to normal" (p.8) and that “we gave insturctions [sic] not to produce chemical weapons" (p.13).
Skeets, I view our foreign policy as failure, so no, I am not rooting for that. I believe we are seriously on the wrong path, so there is no possible avenue of success as I define it; it's now a game of limiting our losses. I believe our children's tax dollars have been seriously misdirected. I grieve the lost opportunities and the loss of the future propserity for my own family and much of mankind. |
