4. Thanks. The reason I asked is that is is saying that the poison gas in

the Jordanian incident appears to be VX, which he states makes it very likely to have originated in Iraq.

13. Ansar al-Islam, protected by US in Kurdish North, gets Turkish VX and

now we have a weapon on mass destruction coming from Saddam into Jordan - and Bush is proved correct!

God - our medias logic - and memory - sucks

Specifically, it was reported that cyanide gas and the poison ricin were among the chemicals tested by Ansar al-Islam. The Washington Post also reported that Ansar al-Islam smuggled VX nerve gas through Turkey in fall 2001. PUK prime minister Barham Salih cited "clear evidence" of animal testing. Other Kurdish leaders said they had "eyewitness accounts, prisoners confessions, and seized evidence" to support this.

Is it hard to admit that Saddam did not destroy this gas because he could not enter the Kurdish North because of the US protecting that area?

8. Apparently is a Democrat, but likes W:

"Some of our most famous American families, including the Bushes, made their fortunes from the Holocaust. Before I tell this awful story, I have to admit that I am a Democrat, but I quite like this President. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has a good heart, and the good sense not to follow in his father's footsteps. "W" has some good people around him who keep a firewall in the White House against his father's oil cronies. In terms of Republican politics, "W" is a rebel. "

hmmmm..

2. From what I've Googled...

As a former Justice Department prosecutor, John Loftus once held some of the highest security clearances in the world, with special access to NATO Cosmic, CIA codeword, and Top Secret Nuclear files. As a private attorney, he works without charge to help hundreds of intelligence agents obtain lawful permission to declassify and publish the hidden secrets of our times. He is the author of four history books, three of which have been made into films, two were international best sellers, and one was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

He also appears heavly involved with the Jewish comunity, espcally rooting out Nazi conections in our Government. One of his books is about the Nazi-Prescott Bush connection

6. Thanks... Especially this tidbit

"One of his books is about the Nazi-Prescott Bush connection"

was interesting because I don't think a rightwing nut would have written that book?

5. thanks. I just wanted to know if he is some right wing nut...

You know..if he is credible. because of the stories coming out of Jordan. Scary stuff: it seems like some of Zarqawi's people have gotten their hands on VX gas.
