No WMDs?

I have seen and heard about a recent spate of reports regarding 500 tons of raw uranium and the buried centrifuge parts that they pulled out of Iraq after the invasion. I also heard another story about 2 tons of "processed" uranium, not highly enriched weapons grade but one heck of a lot closer than the yellow cake stuff. What really seemed strange about the reports is that the "hosts" in the discussions were nonchalant about the reports, like it was "old news", that everybody knew about it.

I had not heard about the uranium, and it would seem to me (since I tend to pay attention to these things) that most Americans had not known about this. I had known about the parts ... this was indeed covered by the media and written about by Saddam's top nuclear scientist ... but essentially dismissed by liberals ... and I was willing to accept the fact that without other stuff, having some parts (even if it was enough to actually build an operating centrifuge) is fairly useless without the fuel.

I have been scratching my head about this, because it seems to me that this should be the central message in any discussion about WMDs ... Saddam had already begun the process of enriching the uranium, his top scientist wrote all about how Saddam had every intention of creating a bomb once the heat was off, Saddam was busy lining everybody's pockets to get the heat off. He had the parts, he had the fuel, and his scientist says he had every intention of getting a bomb as soon as he could. So what the hell is the discussion?

I have also been scratching my head about the whole "fertilizer" deal ... how stupid do you have to be (Democrats excluded ... they love to play stupid) to believe that those trucks they found were really for fertilizer? I mean, those things were scrubbed down cleaner than an operating room, without even the evidence that any FERTILIZER chemicals were there, let alone anything else. Have you been to a farm lately? Trust me that there are precious few farms I have been too that I would consider to be cleaner than a hospital.

How about the chemical suits that they found? During the fall of Saddam, our boys pulled up to buildings that had stockpiles of chemical suits that the Iraqi army had staged in advanced positions. I guess that as a Democrat you play stupid and pretend like this was there in fear of American chemical weapons??? Actually, as a Democrat, you just ignore this fact, because you know damned well the news media is not going to bother to bring it up again and therefore nobody in the public will think about it.

Not convinced? OK, what about the videos of the trucks driving out the back door while the UN weapons inspectors were being held off from getting into facilities? Let's ignore for the moment that the Iraqis actually had welcome wagons for the UN inspectors when they showed up for a "surprise" inspection (hmmm, and Saddam was lining the pockets of UN chiefs all the way up to Kofi's kid, eh?). Even then, the Iraqis were plainly seen sneaking stuff out of facilities that were being inspected. Mr. Democrat ... can you please pull your head out of your ass long enough to explain what was on those trucks? Just tidying up the place, huh?

Where are the Republicans

So where are the Republicans on this one??? I only half blame the Democrats because even though they are lying through their teeth, nobody is holding them accountable. I mean, eventually their insanity (if we are dumb enough to follow it) will get us killed, but they are too arrogant to believe it will happen ... the sane must prevail. Nonetheless ... the Republicans are deaf and dumb on this issue ... and are to blame moreso then the Democraps.

The only thing necessary for evil (i.e. Democraps) to triumph is for good people to stand silent.
