Iraqi Foreign Minister Was CIA Source
NBC Nightly News is reporting that Saddam's Foreign Minister was CIA source. They are also saying that he told the CIA that Saddam had no "significant" weapons program.
(MSNBC.com)For example, consider biological weapons, a key concern before the war. The CIA said Saddam had an "active" program for "R&D, production and weaponization" for biological agents such as anthrax. Intelligence sources say Sabri indicated Saddam had no significant, active biological weapons program. Sabri was right. After the war, it became clear that there was no program.
Another key issue was the nuclear question: How far away was Saddam from having a bomb? The CIA said if Saddam obtained enriched uranium, he could build a nuclear bomb in "several months to a year." Sabri said Saddam desperately wanted a bomb, but would need much more time than that. Sabri was more accurate.
On the issue of chemical weapons, the CIA said Saddam had stockpiled as much as "500 metric tons of chemical warfare agents" and had "renewed" production of deadly agents. Sabri said Iraq had stockpiled weapons and had "poison gas" left over from the first Gulf War. Both Sabri and the agency were wrong.
Will this get blown off by the media, or will they tell it like it is. THEY LIED AGAIN. Everyday that passes since Sen. Feingold's censure proposal of Bush, the closer I start to think about Impeachment instead.
