right, you bet, keep telling yourself that...no wmds were found where Bush said they would be, but unexplained US made weapons have turned up, probably shipped there by bush cohorts, is his face red? of course not, a person needs a conscience to show remorse...especially for such a blatant baldfaced lie.... Missiles: Return to Sender A cache of missiles that were made in the United States found in Iraq NEWSWEEK June 9 issue — Bush administration officials say that U.S. intelligence agencies and the Pentagon expected that American troops in Iraq would stumble across all kinds of lethal and “dual use” equipment made by Western companies as they comb through the wreckage of Saddam Hussein’s military-industrial complex. AMONG THE MORE intriguing items that have turned up is an assortment of French military equipment and German-made chemical-weapon protective gear; the French and Germans emphatically deny violating any United Nations weapons embargoes. One awkward find was a cache of missiles that were made in the United States. Though details of the discovery are classified, sources in Washington say that military and intelligence agencies launched an urgent investigation to find out how the weapons got to Iraq and whether American firms might have violated U.N. embargoes and U.S. laws. Recently the inquiry was abandoned when convincing evidence turned up that the missiles had been exported legally from the United States to Iraq in the years before the first gulf war, when American policymakers cozied up to Saddam as a counterbalance to Iranian ayatollahs. —Mark Hosenball
