The "discovered WMDs" the Bush apologists are parading so proudly around the forums are degraded junk from the war with Iran. All this "they didn't comply with UN regulations" crap amounts to squat, in the face of the fairly obvious fact that the "threat" from Iraq was well-contained, and required considerable obfuscation on the part of certain officials to escalate.
"Theres no doubt Iraq hasnt fully complied with its disarmament obligations as set forth by the Security Council in its resolution. But on the other hand, since 1998 Iraq has been fundamentally disarmed: 90-95% of Iraqs weapons of mass destruction capacity has been verifiably eliminated. . . We have to remember that this missing 5-10% doesnt necessarily constitute a threat. . . It constitutes bits and pieces of a weapons program which in its totality doesnt amount to much, but which is still prohibited. . . We cant give Iraq a clean bill of health, therefore we cant close the book on their weapons of mass destruction. But simultaneously, we cant reasonably talk about Iraqi non-compliance as representing a de-facto retention of a prohibited capacity worthy of war."
-- Scott Ritter, former UN Weapons Inspector, 2002
He was correct then, and hes correct now. Today's Big Story is part of the 5-10% that Scott Ritter was talking about. WMD? more like BFD. |
