>>" On Feb. 5, 2004, Tenet delivered a speech at Georgetown University that alluded to Sabri and defended his position on the existence of WMD, which, even then, he contended would still be found. "Several sensitive reports crossed my desk from two sources characterized by our foreign partners as established and reliable," he said. "The first from a source who had direct access to Saddam and his inner circle" -- Naji Sabri -- "said Iraq was not in the possession of a nuclear weapon. However, Iraq was aggressively and covertly developing such a weapon." Then Tenet claimed with assurance, "The same source said that Iraq was stockpiling chemical weapons." He explained that this intelligence had been central to his belief in the reason for war. "As this information and other sensitive information came across my desk, it solidified and reinforced the judgments that we had reached in my own view of the danger posed by Saddam Hussein and I conveyed this view to our nation's leaders." (Tenet doesn't mention Sabri in his recently published memoir, "At the Center of the Storm.") But where were the WMD? "Now, I'm sure you're all asking, 'Why haven't we found the weapons?' I've told you the search must continue and it will be difficult." "<< Now in the Gail Collins Op Ed in today's NY Times, Bush according to the new Robert Draper book is still insisting in 2006 that Saddam had WMD. Now we know why Tenet said it will be "difficult" to find them. As we know from the Bush video, Saddam hid them in the Oval Office and Bush still cannot find them. Bush should check the Oval Office restroom. Senator Craig no doubt can provide valuable help with the search. And then see Bremer's Op Ed also in today's NY Times...the liars are now really serious in accusing each other. It would be such a joke if it were not for the serious mess in Iraq caused by these liars.
