Hypocrites
Finally, the US has admitted that Iraq may have posed no threat at all:
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has acknowledged that Iraq may have destroyed all its chemical munitions and weapons of mass destruction before the US-led invasion of the country in March.
Which means Iraq would have done a far better job than America:
The Pentagon has finally discovered evidence of weapons of mass destruction - buried in a US Army base 80 kms from Washington DC.
Investigators at Fort Detrick in Maryland have unearthed more than 2,000 tons of hazardous waste including 100 vials of anthrax and other dangerous bacteria.
They are believed to be left over from a US germ warfare program that was ended in 1969.
The discovery comes as US forces in Iraq are struggling to find any firm evidence of Saddam Hussein’s suspected weapons of mass destruction that were the justification for toppling his regime.
The Pentagon said it had no record of the biological agents dumped at the US site, which is being excavated as part of a $US15 million ($A22.94 million) clean-up of the area.
What a sad irony.
This entire scenario will be quickly dismissed by the fascist administration in the U.S. by escalation of rhetoric aimed squarely at Iran. The premise for the Iraq war was faulted from the start, encapsulated in a web of lies and deceipt which the greater proportion of the US populous swallowed hook, line and sinker. The warning in this for Australians is to be very careful in their selection of the next Government for this country, given that Howard bows and scrapes everytime the US administration grunts.
next stop iran, we can’t let the GG or the crisis on BB distract us from our aims, to kill more innocent civilians on soil farther and farther away, with less and less a premise, and better and better TV coverage.
I’m setting up my T shirt stand on the morrow.
Why would a country destroy weapons of mass destruction unless of course they weren’t weapons of mass destruction!
Imagine trying to spin during a press conference held after evidence of WMDs conclusively proves they either aren’t there, or have been destroyed:
“Well, uh, we said there were weapons of mass destruction, and, uh, we were right. We went in and had a look, and it, uh, turns out they destroyed massive weapons…”
