A Gathering Mistake

JB

From the Washington Post:
The government's most definitive account of Iraq's arms programs, to be released today, will show that Saddam Hussein posed a diminishing threat at the time the United States invaded and did not possess, or have concrete plans to develop, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, U.S. officials said yesterday.

The officials said that the 1,000-page report by Charles A. Duelfer, the chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, concluded that Hussein had the desire but not the means to produce unconventional weapons that could threaten his neighbors or the West. President Bush has continued to assert in his campaign stump speech that Iraq had posed "a gathering threat."



Comments:

Update for you, the stump speech was updated, of course purely coincidentally, today. Apparently the best he could do (http://www.freep.com/news/statewire/sw105277_20041006.htm) was quote 1972 Kerry as saying the UN should sanction most US actions...wonder why we continue to ignore circa 72 GWB...

He's also now referring to Kerry's health care plan as "Hilary Care," proving once and for all that rhetoric is really all that matters here...still, he doesn't mention Duelfer's report. And Duelfer's not just a weapons inspector. He's CIA. You know, the same CIA that Cheney keeps pointing to and saying "I do what they tell me."
