Re: Fantasy conspiracy theories are good for those with too much time on their hands, but will not accomplish anything in the real world. Oh, I totally agree --all those WMD-busters are just a bunch of conspiracy freaks who don't know anything beyond their paranoid wargame universe: Democrats Slam Lack of Iraqi WMD Finds Thu Jul 31, 7:35 PM ET By BARRY SCHWEID, AP Diplomatic Writer WASHINGTON - A CIA adviser told lawmakers Thursday that progress was being made in the hunt for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, but Democrats decried the so-far fruitless searches and questioned the Bush administration's rationale for war. David Kay, who is serving as a special adviser for the weapons search, said inspectors have found physical evidence of Iraqi activity on weapons of mass destruction, but he declined to discuss details. He said investigators had made a "tactical and strategic decision" to focus on biological rather than on chemical or nuclear programs, saying, "Those are the areas that we're principally talking about progress." The Senate Intelligence Committee's top Democrat, Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, expressed concern that the searches are being diverted away from finding actual weapons. "Signs of a weapons program are very different than the stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons that were a certainty before the war," Rockefeller said. "We did not go to war to disrupt Saddam's weapons program, we went to disarm him." "It's looking more and more like a case of mass deception," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said after Kay briefed the Senate Armed Services Committee. "There was no imminent danger, and we should never have gone to war." Those concerns surfaced as the Bush administration approved payment of $30 million to the informant who helped troops find Saddam's two sons, the largest reward ever made under a U.S. program. [...] story.news.yahoo.com "...payment of $30 million to the informant who helped troops find Saddam's two sons,..." CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? $30 million for TWO ROTTING STIFFS that were stashed away in a deep freezer for the past 3 months?!? Holy shit.... And where's Saddam, btw?? I bet you those silly Marines who looted Baghdad's Museum have already smuggled him out of Iraq --they must have taken him for some invaluable Babylonian mummy... ROFL! Who knows... maybe some day Saddam's mummy will pop up in the Getty museum, Santa Monica, CA?
