Saddam did have WMD plans says inspector

Brian Brady
WESTMINSTER EDITOR

SADDAM Hussein had the ability to unleash biological and chemical weapons "at short notice" on foreign nations, according to a potentially explosive new report by inspectors.

The leaked document, written by Charles Duelfer, the new director of the Iraq Survey group, concludes that hard evidence does exist that Saddam had the ability to wreak terror with the weaponry.

Furthermore, there was evidence that he was plotting to expand his facilities last year, prior to the invasion of British and American troops.

The report will be seized on gratefully by London and Washington as they continue to fight the case for war. One Foreign Office official described it last night as "hopeful".

[lovedems]

4. Yeah right.

David Kay left with his dignity and we are suppose to believe this guy?

Yeah right. This is a stretch.

[Kadie]

Where has he been the past year? I wonder what "evidence" he is going to pull out of his pocket.

8. News Flash: Saddam had aspirations for WMD!!!

wow, oh wow, we gave up every ounce of credibility we have as a nation and we attacked a sovereign country, moving its residents back to the 19th century, because of intent. Its bullshit, gang, give it up - pack up the truck, you're headed back to Crawford.


'Last night his findings were questioned by critics of the war, who claimed he had moved the goalposts in the hunt for weapons of mass destruction since taking over the job - shifting from the search for hard evidence, to signs of "intent". '

10. The news article is over a month old

Sunday 4th April. If there was anything to it at all, it seems to have been discounted by now. It's certainly not late breaking.
