British Foreign Office No Longer Believes in WMDs
http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,6711085%255E912,00.html

<snip>

BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair's claim that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction will be found eventually was dealt a massive blow last night after it was revealed that the Foreign Office no longer believes they exist.

Senior Government sources have told The Mail On Sunday that the Foreign Office has given up hope of finding chemical and biological weapons in Iraq.

The source said: "We live in hope but we just can't find them. Most people at the Foreign Office don't think we ever will. The Prime Minister still thinks they will be found – perhaps he has more information."

2. Tony's just waiting for the CIA to find the WMDs they lost in Iraq
Pentagon Whistleblower Reveals CIA/ DoD Fiascos

In a world exclusive, Al Martin Raw.com has published a news story about a Department of Defense whistleblower reveals that a US covert operations team had planted “Weapons of Mass Destruction” (WMDs) in Iraq – then “lost” them when the team was killed by so-called “friendly fire.”

The Pentagon whistleblower, Nelda Rogers, is a 28-year veteran debriefer for the Defense Department. She has become so concerned for her safety that she has decided to tell the story about this latest CIA-military fiasco in Iraq.

<snip>

“This was a contingent of CIA/ DoD operatives, but it was really the CIA that bungled it, Ms. Rogers said. They were relying on the CIA’s ability to organize an effort to seize these assets and to be able to extract these assets because the CIA claimed it had resources on the ground within the Iraqi army and the Iraqi government who had been paid. That turned out to be completely bogus. As usual.”

<snip>

“CIA people were supposed to be handling it,” Martin continues. “They had a special ‘black (unmarked) aircraft to fly it out. But none of that happened because the regular US Army showed up, stumbled onto it and everyone involved had to scramble.

I'm having difficulty deciding if it's a action flick or a screwball comedy.

Comedia del arte :)

This is so embarrassing for our country.

Are Freepers not embarrassed or is their attention span too short?

11. My favorite part
"Around 500 Spanish support troops were sent to Iraq. A 50-page manual reassured them about the dangers from nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. It contains six pages about snake bites and spiders and just two paragraphs on weapons of mass destruction."

I guess the Spanish didn't know that the rest of the world would read their manual.
