http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/Focus/IaeaIraq/IraqUNSC25102004.pdf

S/2004/831

Letter dated 25 October 2004 from the Secretary-General
addressed to the President of the Security Council

I have the honour to convey the attached communication, dated 25 October
2004, from the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency
(see annex).

I should be grateful if you would bring the present letter and its annex to the
attention of the members of the Security Council.

(Signed) Kofi A. Annan

Annex

Letter dated 25 October 2004 from the Director General
of the International Atomic Energy Agency addressed to
the President of the Security Council

I refer to the letter I addressed to you on 1 October 2004 (S/2004/786),
constituting the semi-annual report requested by the Security Council in resolution
1051 (1996). In that letter, States were reminded of their obligation to inform the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about items listed in annex 3 to the
IAEA ongoing monitoring and verification plan (S/2001/561).
Consequent to that reminder, IAEA received the attached letter dated
10 October 2004 from the General Director of the Planning and Following Up
Directorate of the Iraqi Ministry of Science and Technology. In that letter, the Iraqi
authorities informed IAEA of the loss after 9 April 2003, through the theft and
looting of the governmental installations due to lack of security, of high
explosives, relevant to annex 3, that had been subject to IAEA monitoring. The
explosives in question are given as: HMX (195 tons), which had been under IAEA
seal, and RDX (141 tons) and PETN (6 tons), both subject to regular monitoring of
stock levels. The presence of these amounts was verified by IAEA in January 2003.
Following a preliminary verification of the letter’s authenticity through the
Iraqi Permanent Mission in Vienna, IAEA on 15 October 2004 informed the
Multinational Force (MNF), as the body entrusted by the Security Council in
resolution 1546 (2004) with the authority to take all necessary measures to
contribute to the maintenance of security and stability in Iraq, about this matter.
This was with a view to providing MNF and the Iraqi Interim Government with an
opportunity to attempt to recover the explosives before this matter was put into the
public domain. However, as you are aware, the matter has been given media
coverage today.
I should therefore be grateful if you would arrange for this letter to be
distributed as a document of the Security Council.
(Signed) Mohamed ElBaradei

7. BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!

Its a hit! Roll that beautiful bean footage!

This WILL get bigger and bigger until a resignation. Its in the works. National coverage by a major network will be the salvation of the story. I want to see the uproar of this article now. It'll be as intense as Watergate.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

20. Resignation? Really?

This close to the end?

Is that feasible? Sorry for all the question marks, this just really caught my attention. Anything involving the words bush and resignation does that...

[incapsulated]

8. Excellent!

There is your final answer!

[Carni]

9. I'll be damned!

Where's that guy that serves drinks on weekends in the lounge?

CELEBRATION TIME

BUSH IS TOAST!

[KelleyKramer]

10. Then they covered halliburton AND showed the 'bird' video!

They even showed the Bush flipping a bird video!

Good grief, this is not looking good for the Idiot Child!

[incapsulated]

11. Holy shit, lol!

I'm not near a tv, they showed the finger vid!?

*happy dance*

The worm is turning, folks.... :)

[GreenPoet64]

13. The "flipping the bird" video or the Ostrich?

[Technowitch]

16. My god! You're kidding!

They showed the bird-flipping video?

Someone get the butter. A certain soon-to-be-ex-Prez is TOAST.

[KelleyKramer]

18. Yep, and it had..

the finger part 'fuzzied' out but you could clearly tell what he was doing.

I hope every Christian fundie was watching their Dear Leader looking right at them and giving the big 'F*ck You!' sign.

Bwahahaha!

[livinbella]

17. Is that video real? When was it taken?

I thought that was a joke.

[KelleyKramer]

21. When he was Gov of Texas

Not sure the exact time, havent followed that story too close but as far as i know it hasnt been called a fake.
Maybe another DU'er could say for sure.

[Rose Siding]

22. It's real

Have you watched it? He does it in context of the rest of the clip and he verbally references what he did. I don't see HOW it could be faked.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

19. Where IS MrScorpio anyway?

Haven't seen him around. He's my buddy.

[Carni]

30. YES! Mr Scorpio...

OPEN YOUR BAR! lol

[Technowitch]

14. Slammed!

We are gonna win, people. Can't ya feel it?

And that smell you're smelling is the sweet scent of their fear and panic.

[Career Prole]

15. Hey shrub...it's allowable, even wise, to jump to conclusions

when you know where the conclusions are.

[skip fox]

23. Any other major national news outlets?

Please let everyone know how this story is breaking elsewhere.

[Gloria]

24. Please clarify!~ Was it ABC or CBS that showed the "bird flip" video??

I have a half hour before the news comes on here and I want to tape it all!!

[underpants]

26. ABC did I don't know about CBS

Lead with the KTSP video of the IAEA seals on the al Quaa Quaa bunkers on April 18, 2003. Several analysts said that everyone they have talked to (including those who had been there) said that it looked just like they had personally seen. Pentagon reporter said that the soldiers never had orders to secure it and even if they had they "had no where near the numbers of soldiers necessary to secure it"

Showed Kerry and Bruce in Madison WI (wide crowd shots).
Showed W making speech in Michigan.

Report on the nasty 527 ads-SwiftVets and an anti-W ad with the armless Iraqi boy and screaming/explosions and THEN they showed the blurred out image of W flipping the bird from Texansfortruth.com.

Just before the break-reported that the FBI is investigating Halliburton Pentagon contracts.

They showed the video after the break but any of the RW who watched had to sit through 15 minutes of smackdown on their boy.

[hedda_foil]

28. ABC

[KelleyKramer]

29. it was on ABC, and the rest of the program is very good too

Definitely worth taping!

[budkin]

25. Hell yeah!

BUSH LOSES.

[kaitykaity]

27. OMFG!! OMFG!! OMFG!!

Yes!!!!!!

The spin stops, and Kerry keeps hitting * and hitting
him hard and hitting him again.

OMFG. It's for real. OMFG.
