It would be a shame to have to admit that all the evidence prior to the war was based on the "intelligence" provided by self-serving Iraqi exiles who wanted the war so they could go in and take over control of Iraq for themselves. Not a bad prize for telling tall tales of WMD. Notice that David Kay makes no mention of expecting to find WMD. If there is enough paper, with the proper "translations" there must be something that sounds like somebody somewhere must have been working on something. Good work, keep mining those documents for "evidence" of WMD -- oh, not real WMD of course.

This is more of the careful tip-toeing backward from the pre-war claims. Notice, he says he expects only to find documents. Not actual WMD. Do you think the American people would have supported the war, would have felt threatened by documents about WMD, rather than the real thing? And documents are very easy to forge. Next time, they may even do a better job of forgery, than those "crudely forged" Chad "documents". <''What worries me is I know if we can't explain the WMD program of Iraq, we lose credibility with regard to other states like Iran, Syria, North Korea,'' he said.> Exactly right.

would prove ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Most of us here believe that in fact, this will be the case...And have said so, right along. Thanks for the link. >>>>>>>>David Kay, a former U.N. chief nuclear weapons inspector, said on ''NBC Nightly News'' that U.S. forces had collected a massive amount of documents that when completely analyzed would prove ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. <<<<<<<<
