Typeless...I'm just totally typeless...!
Here's what they said:

-But we now know that Saddam has resumed his efforts to acquire nuclear weapons.

-Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.

-There is no doubt that he has chemical weapons stocks.

-But we do know with absolute certainty that he is using his procurement system to acquire the equipment he needs in order to enrich uranium to build a nuclear weapon.

-But we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

-Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons.

-Some of these weapons are deployable within 45 minutes of an order to use them.

-We know from intelligence that Iraq has continued to produce biological warfare agents.

-Recent intelligence confirms that the Iraqi military have developed mobile facilities.

-In defiance of pledges to the UN it has stockpiled biological and chemical weapons. It is rebuilding the facilities used to make those weapons.

-We know where they are.

Here's what bush's first handpicked weapons inspector David Kay's report said:

No WMD and no stockpiles since 1991, no capability to produce WMD since 1991, and;

"We were almost all wrong."

"Multiple sources with varied access and reliability have told ISG that Iraq did not have a large, ongoing, centrally controlled CW program after 1991. Information found to date suggests that Iraq's large-scale capability to develop, produce and fill new CW munitions was reduced - if not entirely destroyed - during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Fox, 13 years of U.N. sanctions and U.N. inspections."

Here's what bush's second (and supposedly final) handpicked weapons inspector Charles Duefler's report says:

-Report Finds Iraq WMD Threat Was Overstated

-U.S. Inspector Says Hussein Lacked Means

-Government account will show that Saddam Hussein posed little threat

And NOT JUST ACTUAL WMD. Duefler's report says even the WMD PROGRAMS and KNOWLEDGE BASE were LESS when we invaded than they were back in the 1990s;

-The officials said Duelfer, an experienced former United Nations weapons inspector, found that the state of Hussein's weapons-development programs and knowledge base was less advanced in 2003, when the war began, than it was in 1998, when international inspectors left Iraq.

So just GUESS what the RWWs like Tony the bLiar's idiot Jack Straw (and guaranteed to be followed today by bushCartel) are saying this means!!!

Go on...GUESS!

Yep, you guessed it...

A key report on Saddam Hussein's WMDs shows that he posed a more serious threat than previously imagined, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has said.

1. I guess they found the WMD -
"We know Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. We know he used weapons of mass destruction," Dr Saleh said, adding that in his view Saddam Hussein was himself a weapon of mass destruction.

How absurd!
