Chalk up another one for the GOP. They’ve even taken “radical” from the Left and left them with “reactionary”, in return.

I wouldn’t mind being paid a little because it does take a lot of time to correct the many lies and distortions from the radical right.

OK -

DUELFER REPORT SUMMARY

Saddam wanted to recreate Iraq?s WMD capability?which was essentially destroyed in 1991?after sanctions were removed and Iraq?s economy stabilized, but probably with a different mix of capabilities to that which previously existed.

Iran was the pre-eminent motivator of this policy. All senior level Iraqi offi cials considered Iran to be Iraq?s principal enemy in the region. The wish to balance Israel and acquire status and infl uence in the Arab world were also considerations, but secondary.

ISG uncovered Iraqi plans or designs for three long-range ballistic missiles with ranges from 400 to 1,000 km and for a 1,000-km-range cruise missile, although none of these systems progressed to production and only one reportedly passed the design phase.

Iraq Survey Group (ISG) discovered further evidence of the maturity and significance of the pre-1991 Iraqi Nuclear Program but found that Iraq?s ability to reconstitute a nuclear weapons program progressively decayed after that date.

While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991.

In practical terms, with the destruction of the Al Hakam facility, Iraq abandoned its ambition to obtain advanced BW weapons quickly. ISG found no direct evidence that Iraq, after 1996, had plans for a new BW program or was conducting BW-specific work for military purposes. Indeed, from the mid-1990s, despite evidence of continuing interest in nuclear and chemical weapons, there appears to be a complete absence of discussion or even interest in BW at the Presidential level.

Woke up this morning to the good news (wimp that I am, I couldn’t hack it last night; my excuse is that I’m on the east coast). Now Fox and others are calling the turnout at 60+%. This is close to the US turnout and that was an historical high. I do wonder what the chattering types will have to say about this. They can’t exactly call this a failure without pointing out the US turnout (well, ok, they can and probably will, but it will just make them look even more stupid).

El Salvador, Nicaragua, Timor, Afghanistan, Iraq. All successfully voting and shaping their futures themselves amidst violence and the threats of violence. The list grows.

Compared to what?

The 100 percent and unanimous vote Saddam got.

Philadelphia, East St. Louis, King County, WA, Detroit, DC, Milwaukee. Georgie believes that if you can’t turn out 110% of every precinct then its a failure of Democrat principles.

Compared to what?

SteveJ is clearly getting paid piecework. He relentlessly posts the same thing over and over and over again. If he’s getting a dime a shot from Soros he’s determined to make his fortune here and now while the opportunity is available.
