Because of the views of some here, I offer a more Republican take on the current
scandal...
Warner Seeks Release of Pentagon Iraq Weapons Report (Update1)
http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=71000001&refer=top_world_news&sid=ahhj0tigDlcs
June 6 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Senator John Warner, chairman of the Armed Services
Committee, asked the Defense Department to declassify an intelligence report
from September 2002 that said there was `no reliable information’’ proving Iraq
had chemical weapons.
Pentagon officials said published excerpts from the report, prepared by the
Defense Intelligence Agency, were taken out of context.
`I think clarification is in the interest of all,‘’ Warner told reporters in
Washington after his committee met privately for three hours with Vice Admiral
Lowell Jacoby, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Stephen Cambone,
undersecretary of defense for intelligence.
Warner, a Republican, said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld agreed it was
`important’’ to release the full report.
A summary page from the report said, `There is no reliable information on
whether Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons, or whether Iraq has
-- or will -- establish its chemical warfare agent production facilities.‘’
From my perspective, there is blood in the water and the sharks have begun their
frenzy. All that remains now is to see who the survivors will be.
As a curiousity, I remind the reader that Daddy Bush has actually tried to
distance himself from some of the actions of Shrub Jr. -- in particular calling
into question his poor diplomacy with long-term allies.
Have the Puppetmasters of Empire decided to devour their young?
