Reuters | Ex-Arms Hunter Says Iraq Had No Banned Stockpiles
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former chief U.S. weapons hunter David Kay has concluded Iraq did not have stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons, which could embarrass President Bush abroad and offer ammunition to his election-year Democratic rivals at home.
Undercutting the White House's public rationale for the war on Iraq, Kay told Reuters by telephone shortly after stepping down from his post Friday that he had concluded there were no such stockpiles to be found.
"I don't think they existed," Kay said. "What everyone was talking about is stockpiles produced after the end of the last (1991) Gulf War, and I don't think there was a large-scale production program in the '90s," he said.
So Mr Kay, are you basically saying that Georges Bush sent the country to war under false pretense, got over 500 Americans killed, a couple of thousand others wounded or crippled for life? And now you have the nerve to be worried a to what the Democrats are going to use this fact as a campaign issue.
As far as I am concerned the Dems should be starting
impeachment proceedings.
