Saddam Scientists Said Justified Invasion
Posted Thursday, September 4, 2003 by symbolman
PARIS -- The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was justified in part because Saddam Hussein retained scientists capable of building nuclear weapons, Washington's top arms control official said Thursday.
In an interview with The Associated Press, John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control, said that whether Saddam's regime actually possessed weapons of mass destruction "isn't really the issue."
"The issue I think has been the capability that Iraq sought to have ... WMD programs," Bolton said at the U.S. Embassy in Paris.
Bolton said that Saddam kept "a coterie" of scientists he was preserving for the day when he could build nuclear weapons unhindered by international constraints.>> More
Let's see if we can keep this straight. First Bush and Blair claimed that Iraq had WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, Including NUKE MATERIALS, SARIN GAS, ETC, ETC - and they were capable of DELIVERING these same such materials within 45 MINUTES (A little longer to the US - Jet Lag I guess). After the INVASION and OCCUPATION Bush changed his tune (since not ONE WMD has been found despite 140,000 troops everywhere) to WMD PROGRAMS. When that didn't work out now it's THE POTENTIAL FOR SOMEONE TO THINK OF A WMD PROGRAM. Some kind of Psychic Mind Crime. According to this thought process, we could invade and kill every high school chemical and physics class room, or any country with a telephone system who could CALL A SCIENTIST. Absolutely outrageous. Impeach the Lot of them and give us our country back!
