Where are Iraq's Weapons Of Mass Destruction!!

[JIDAAWY]

U.S. President George Bush justified his invasion of Iraq by claiming Baghdad was behind 9/11 and threatened America with weapons of mass destruction.

To his profound embarrassment, U.S. forces in Iraq have so far failed to find any unconventional weapons or any links between Iraq and al-Qaida. Most Americans don't seem to care their president launched a war of unprovoked aggression based on fabricated evidence and untruths, or that he and secretary of state repeatedly misinformed and misled the nation.

The White House is trying to deflect rising criticism of its Iraq policy by blaming the Central Intelligence Agency for supplying erroneous information, but the CIA was not wrong. The agency repeatedly warned the Bush administration, both privately, through leaks and openly, that Iraq was not a threat, did not possess significant offensive weapons systems, and was unlikely to greet American and British invaders as "liberators."

Contrary to Bush's assurances that invading Iraq would end terrorism and make the Mideast a safer, quieter, more democratic place, last week's terror attacks in Casablanca, Riyadh and Israel showed the invasion had sparked more, not less, terrorism and counter-repression, and that anti-American militant groups were gaining, not losing, strength. Palestinian bombings and Israeli intransigence left Bush's "road map" for peace looking more like a dead end.

 

Early on, Bush vowed to avoid "nation building" and avoid Mideast entanglements. But thanks to his clumsy war on terrorism, his unnecessary invasion of Iraq and his relentless belligerency toward the Muslim world, the Mideast may come to be the nemesis of his administration, just as Iran undid that of former president Jimmy Carter.

Did you hear the latest from Dumsfeld - weapons may never be found. Surprise! There were never weapons of any sort other than what the then Iraq Gov'nt declared in the 12,000 pages declaration report submitted to the UN. A lesson in history – a legacy that shall haunt the world for centuries to come in general, the US in particular. I do not think we shall be lucky enough to live the day when a more powerful nation levels Washington DC to the ground on the basis of probable sometime in the future endangering the interest, security and political clout of the supposed country. No UN, nor international organisation shall have hope in hell to say otherwise for the argument shall be “ .. we regard the US as a possible threat sometime in the future to the peace and stability of the world, thus it must be disarmed in any way possible. Who is going to come to the rescue, as this is a taste for your own recipe.

 

Anger as Rumsfeld admits weapons may never be found (Filed: 28/05/2003)

 

Tony Blair is facing the threat of fresh unrest on Labour's backbenches after Donald Rumsfeld, the American defence secretary, said Iraq's weapons of mass destruction may never be found.

 

Mr Blair has faced persistent questions from Labour MPs over what happened to the weapons that formed the primary justification for war.

 

He has repeatedly said he is confident coalition troops will find the arsenal he once said could be ready for use in 45 minutes.

 

But Mr Rumsfeld said: "It is also possible that they [the Iraqis] decided that they would destroy them [weapons of mass destruction] prior to a conflict.

 

"We don't know what happened [to Iraq's banned weapons]."

 

Glenda Jackson, the former Labour minister, said that the Government was now standing on "shaky ground" over its justification for the war.

 

She raised concerns that the Mr Blair knew that Iraq had destroyed any weapons of mass destruction prior to the decision to send troops to fight in the conflict.

 

Ms Jackson said: "This war was fought on illegal and immoral grounds and there were no reasons for it. The existence of weapons of mass destruction was just one scenario presented to justify the war by the Government.

 

"If the creators of this war are now saying weapons of mass destruction were destroyed before the war began, then all the Government ministers who stood on the floor in the House of Commons adamantly speaking of the immediate threat posed by Iraq's weapons are now standing on shaky ground."

 

She added that she never believed such weapons of mass destruction existed in the first place.

 

In a speech in New York, Mr Rumsfeld said the search for hidden weapons was continuing and it would "take time" to investigate hundreds of suspected sites.

 

It is thought Mr Rumsfeld's remarks were the closest the Bush administration has come to an admission that it may never find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
