This reminds me of the bogus leaking-of-stories in January which culminated in the Powell Speech at the UN. Remember how they kept telling us "We have the smoking gun. We're going to tell you about the smoking gun." We're going to tell you. Pretty soon, we're going to tell you." And it all turned out that they had NOTHING! So now they are beginning to tell us that they are going to tell us about the WMDs in Sept. (Of course, there are many enthralled posters who can post chapter and verse that they already proved there are WMDs, but that's another story!) Discovering WMD Robert Novak August 9, 2003 WASHINGTON -- Former international weapons inspector David Kay, now seeking Iraqi weapons of mass destruction for the Pentagon, has privately reported successes that are planned to be revealed to the public in mid-September. Kay has told his superiors he has found substantial evidence of biological weapons in Iraq, plus considerable missile development. He has been less successful in locating chemical weapons, and has not yet begun a substantial effort to locate progress toward nuclear arms. Senior officials in the Bush administration believe Kay's weapons discoveries should have been revealed as they were made. However, a decision, approved by President Bush, was made to wait until more was discovered and then announce it -- probably in September.* Rascal @GuessTheyHaveNothingAgain. *Or, you don't roll out a new product in August. townhall.com ____________________________________________________________And from the same article... GRILLING THE NSC The two senior staffers of the National Security Council (NSC), who have been reported responsible for the famous 16 words in President Bush's State of the Union address, were cross-examined privately by congressional interrogators on Aug. 1. Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley was questioned briefly by bipartisan aides of the Senate and House intelligence committees. Robert Joseph, the senior NSC staffer who actually wrote the 16 words reporting alleged Iraqi efforts to buy uranium from Africa, was then grilled for over three hours. The congressional staffers came downtown to question Hadley and Joseph at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next door to the White House. The president had refused to permit NSC officials to be interrogated in public or to go to Capitol Hill for the questioning. Rascal @BeAfraidBeVeryAfraid.com
