With all the damage the Wikileaks' document releases have done to our nation, it's rather ironic that we have to look to Julian Assange to hear some truths about the Iraqi WMD program. Don't hold your breath waiting for the American Pravda to report this news.

Wikileaks: WMD program existed in Iraq
"Many of us have been reporting on Iraq's WMD for years. But don't expect the propagandists and left-o-media to revise their lies or deliberate obfuscations to advance their treacherous agenda.

Wikileaks: WMD program existed in Iraq prior to US invasion JIm Kouri, The Examiner
'The release by Julian Assange's web site Wikileaks of classified documents reveals that U.S. military intelligence discovered chemical weapons labs, encountered insurgents who were specialists in the creation of toxins, and uncovered weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. However, Washington, DC officials and the news media have ignored this information.
One of the WikiLeaks document dumps reveals that as late as 2008, American troops continued to find WMD in the region.
There are numerous mentions of chemical and biological weapons in the WikiLeaks documents, however the U.S. media appear only interested in those portions of the leaked material that highlight actions that are viewed as embarrassing for the U.S. military such as the accusation that U.S. commanders were aware of abuse and "torture" of prisoners by Iraqi soldiers and police officers.
The U.S. Defense Department continues to demand that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange immediately return the stolen military documents in his possession, including recent documents that created another stir when published, according to Elaine Wilson of American Forces Press Service.
The department also wants the whistle-blowing web site to permanently delete all versions of these documents, which contain classified and sensitive information, from its web site, computers and records, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell told reporters during a Pentagon briefing.
WikiLeaks documents don't reveal evidence of a massive weapons program by Saddam Hussein — the Bush administration’s leading rationale for invading Iraq -- or some enormous stockpile of WMD, but do reveal that chemical weapons did vanish from the Iraqi battlefield.
According to the latest WikiLeaks document "dump," Saddam’s toxic arsenal, significantly reduced after the Gulf War, remained intact. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the Iraq conflict and may have brewed up their own deadly agents, according to the WikiLeaks web site.
During that time, former Iraqi General Georges Sada, Saddam's top commander, detailed the transfers of Iraq's WMD. "There [were] weapons of mass destruction gone out from Iraq to Syria, and they must be found and returned to safe hands," Mr. Sada said. "I am confident they were taken over."
Gen. Sada's comments came just a month after Israel's top general during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Moshe Yaalon, claimed that Saddam Hussein "transferred the chemical agents from Iraq to Syria."
In 2004, for example, American special forces members secretly purchased what they believed to be containers of liquid sulfur mustard which have been used since World War I. Following testing in a military lab, the chemical was then secured and transferred to a secret location.'
Read the whole thing.
Contemporary political memory seems to be conveniently afflicted with some kind of Alzheimer's disease. Not long ago, every Western leader, starting with President Clinton, fumed against Saddam’s WMD."
UPDATED: In 2008, our military shipped out of Iraq -- on 37 flights in 3,500 barrels -- what even The Associated Press called 'the last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program": 550 metric tons of the supposedly nonexistent yellowcake.'"

Lying yet again, are you, MoreLies?
"WMD" now refers to mustard gas?
You know damn well that isn't what Georgie Porgie and Big Dick were talking about. They were trying to convince America that Saddam had NUCLEAR weapons, not half-assed, antiquated chemical agents:
Georgie Porgie: "America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud." October 7, 2002, speech to the American people
Big Dick: "And we believe he [Saddam] has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
March 16, 2003, NBC Meet the Press interview
You just can't dodge Georgie's false claim about a mushroom cloud, no matter how much of a smokescreen you try to throw up around it.
"Yellowcake" is not a nuclear weapon, MoreLies. Saddam wasn't CLOSE to having nukes, much less nukes that could reach the U.S.
But it's good that you've finally acknowledged that the term "WMD" as used by the Bush White House in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, was conflated into actionable nuclear weapons.
DiogenASS: You’ve got to be the most idiotic imbecile on the net and the dumbest person in Colorado.
A weapon of mass destruction (WMD): weapon with the capacity to inflict death and destruction on such a massive scale and so indiscriminately that its very presence in the hands of a hostile power can be considered a grievous threat. Modern weapons of mass destruction are either nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons—frequently referred to collectively as NBC weapons. See nuclear weapon, chemical warfare, biological warfare.

“You know damn well that isn't what Georgie Porgie and Big Dick were talking about?”
That’s conjecture and speculation by you to fit your leftwing narrative.
Now the leftwingloons are changing definitions, using false innuendo, conspiracy theories and physic readings to support the lefts position and agenda.
You can't take two sound bites and say that they were making the case to the American people that WMD was nuclear weapons only.
Lawyer? Teacher?
Riiiiiiight!
You need to get some psychiatric help with your obsession and infatuation with big Dick.
DiogenASS: a nuclear weapon from Iraq could reach Israel or US allies providing a delivery system, thumbsucker!
Hope & Change your diaper fool, your stinkin up the place!
AnonyMoron: "That’s conjecture and speculation by you to fit your leftwing narrative."
No, that's not conjecture, AnonyMoron. That fact. That's Georgie Porgie's OWN WORDS.
Problem is, you have to understand the English language to get it.
The "mushroom cloud" that Georgie was talking about doesn't arise from a biological or chemical weapon, AnonyMoron. Mushroom clouds come from detonated nuclear (or NUKE-you-larr, if you prefer) weapons.
That's not conjecture or speculation. That's straight out of Georgie's mouth.
And Big Dick said "nuclear weapons". Now, I guess you MAY be right. Maybe, when Cheney said "nuclear weapons", he REALLY meant biological and chemical weapons, and he just got confused, like you get confused. But if you look at his speech, it's pretty clear that Cheney said "nuclear weapons" and he MEANT "nuclear weapons". So that, too, is a FACT, not conjecture or speculation.
And the REALLY disturbing thing about all that is that the CIA TOLD both Bush and Cheney that they were being inaccurate (meaning: lying) by referring to imaginary nuclear weapons, just to scare the rednecks and rightwingnuts into their bunkers. And Bush and Cheney went ahead and did it, anyway, because it served their politicial agenda.
As for the idea that Iraq could reach the UNited State orIsrael with a nuclear weapon and an adequate delivery system? Two points:
1. It's not our job to ensure Israel's safety. It's our job to ensure the United States' safety. Israel is a big boy now. It routinely kicked Arab asses in every war it ever fought; let THEM take out Saddam if they're so worried . (And, by the way, israel WASN'T worried, because....)
2. It's stupid to say the Iraqis or anybody else could launch a nuclear attack, as long as they had the nuclear weapons-grade material and a delivery system. What do you call it when a country has neither weapons-grade nuclear material OR a delivery system? It's called "not having a nuclear bomb" you cretin.
Just a suggestion, AnonyMoron: write these silly-ass comments of yours down on a piece of paper. Show them to a friend. If the friend can't help but laugh at your stupidity, you probably don't want to hit .
And by the way, MoreLies, your "update" on yellowcake? You'reeitherlying, or you're full of shit. Which would you prefer?
check out snopes:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/yellowcake.asp
"The item... cites the July 2008 removal of yellowcake from Iraq as proof that Iraq had in fact been buying yellowcake in an attempt to restart its nuclear program (and ultimately produce nuclear weapons) before the U.S. invasion of March 2003, and that therefore the Bush administration was right and Joseph Wilson was wrong. However, that claim is erroneous.
The yellowcake removed from Iraq in 2008 was material that had long since identified, documented, and stored in sealed containers under the supervision of U.N. inspectors. It was not a "secret" cache that was recently "discovered" by the U.S., and the yellowcake had not been purchased by Iraq in the years immediately preceding the 2003invasion. The uranium was the remnant of decades-old nuclear reactor projects that had been put out of commission many years earlier..."
Any more "updates", MoreLies? Especially "updates" that were thoroughly debunked two and a half years ago?
DiogenASS: Hello Mcfly, a passenger air liner is a delivery system you ignorant buffoon and Saddam had already previously used biological weapons on the Kurds and Iranians.
It is the job of the US to aid and support in the defense of our allies or America wouldn't have many allies, now would they, thumbsucker?
These are all similar quotes by democrats about your WMD.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/wmdquotes.asp
Were the democrats lying and deceiving the American people about the actual threat of Saddam and his WMD program?
So take your foolish two sound bites by Bush and Cheney and stick them where the sun don't shine and get a life, thumbsucker!
DiogenASS: What difference does it make what type of weapon (WMD) a rogue nation possesses moron? they possessed and used a weapon (WMD) that kill thousands of people and that is in it self unacceptable, look at this administration we have now, Iran is vigorously pursuing nuclear weapons (WMD) and a delivery system while obama sits in the oval office sucking his thumb, you call that national or international security or a deterrent?
I like how obama didn't have time to field questions about the economy because of a party he was late for and turned the podium over to Clinton to sell and pitch the white house’s position on tax bill, this alone shows this president is out of his element, very immature and very inexperienced.
thumbsucking leftwing clowns like you are a dime a dozen and should never be allowed to hold positions that could influence national security or Americas future.
Only an AnonyMoron would beieve that one political party, and only one political party, has all the answers. Keep at it, rightwingnuts, and Sister Sarah will lead you into oblivion in 2012.
Your WMD "analysis" is severely lacking. Yes, Saddam used chemical and biological weapons on the Kurds. No excuse whatsoever. A reprehensible action.
On March 16, 1988.
Nineteen eighty freakin' eight, AnonyMoron.
Saint Ronald Reagan was President when that happened. He didn't see a need to take out Saddam at that point, however.
And George H.W. Bush, his successor, didn't see a need to take out Saddam during his four years as President. Nor did Bill Clinton in the eight years that followed after that. And Georgie Porgie didn't feel a need to take out Saddam during his first two years in office, either.
But then, suddenly, Georgie's CIA -- on command -- provided "evidence" of WMDs that would produce a "mushroom cloud". And, because of this mushroom cloud threat, Georgie convinced the Congress and the American people that we absolutely HAD to invade Iraq.
And when he never found WMDs, Bushie reminded us how Saddam was a really bad guy who had and used poison gas.
FIFTEEN YEARS before Bushie launched his invasion.
We all stood a better chance of being killed by the stink of Bushie's bullshit than we did from a Saddam WMD.
And all you do, AnonyMoron, is repeat this tired old bullshit, over and over. Guess what? It doesn't get any more accurate just because you keep repeating it over and over and over. It was bulllshit then, it is bullshit now, and it will be bullshit each and every time you repeat it in the future.
