As much time as he gave Blix and ElBaradei.

Oops, time's up!

Bush went to war, he should have had rock-solid evidence (as Powell said he did back then) before the war started.

We just can't go destroy a country then ask questions later <--exactly what happened here.

Bush deserves not another second to find those WMD's he said he had located on satellites and couple "place his finger on" (as powell said).

Anyone willing to give Bush any more time is just a Bush apologist and accomplice to this travesty of humanity.

The sheer volume of evidence against the Bush administration is beginning to change minds.

No one with an ounce of grey matter can believe the Bush administration's lies in the face of the facts that continue to come to light.

Impeach the entire Bush administration.

Some may have been found. But who knows who trusts the news anymore...

Link one

Next is subscriber only so I will copy and paste.

"KUWAIT CITY (AP)--Kuwaiti security authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country, a Kuwaiti newspaper said Wednesday.

The pro-government Al-Siyassah, quoting an unnamed security source, said the suspects had been watched by security since they arrived in Kuwait and were arrested "in due time." It didn't say when or how the smugglers entered Kuwait or when they were arrested.

The paper said the smugglers might have had accomplices inside Kuwait. It said Interior Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah would hand over the smuggled weapons to an FBI agent at a news conference, but didn't say when.

Government officials couldn't be immediately reached for comment.

Iraqi Interior Minister Nouri Al-Badran met Tuesday with Sheik Nawwaf and discussed cooperation between the two countries in security matters. His visit is the first by an Iraqi interior minister to Kuwait since 1990."

Anyone?

Doesn't look like it. Once they tug that first loose thread, they know the whole tapestry of lies begins to unravel.

I'm at a loss for an explanation. Do you think that they are so strongly convinced that they refuse to doubt, no matter how much time has passed? Or do you think it's simply a matter that not one is willing to be the first to say that doubt has entered their mind?

You can never admit doubt when your stated goal is protection of the innocent and global justice. The Bushies will not relent on their prewar claims despite abundant contradictory evidence b/c they cannot. They would have to admit that pre-emption/Bush Doctrine is a pipe dream.

We cannot subdue imminent security threats b/c our ability to detect them sux. Furthermore, this episode demonstrates pre-emption is guided by ideology (Iraq) of threat not reality (North Korea).

The Bush Doctrine/PNAC wet dream will not come to fruition b/c it requires a world as uninformed and uncritical as the American public. It requires regimes to yield to threat b/c there's no way we could ever hope to subdue all nations by economic/military coercion that would oppose US hegemony.

I watched Kay claim UN inspectors would not be useful in Iraq b/c Iraq is too dangerous and the UN would not partake in the type of "interrogation" being used by US teams. Curiously, the US claims the task of investigating WMD sites is time/fund consuming b/c it's a relatively small amount distributed across a huge country (and huge sites) but instead of combining Kay's team with the initial search efforts . . . the Bushies sent the first team home and replaced them with Kay's team. The UN was asking to go to Iraq to secure sites they had already searched/identified. The US denied them access (for various reasons). Now the US excuse is that Iraq is too dangerous.

Shouldn't the UN make that decision? Considering the importance of finding/securing WMD in Iraq why couldn't the US or better yet the UN, secure a dedicated force group to create a sphere of security around inspectors?

The search for WMD is being carried out in the same manner as the war. The US has an abundance of theories, expenses, and excuses but very little evidence.
