    We shall see if this is true. I'm guessing more news outlets would be all over it if it was.

    Maybe because the Washington Times is run by a lunatic?

    It's actually a UPI article, don't know how reputable they are. Honestly though, the Times' Sports sections pwns the Post's.

    Say no more...

    I guess this will dovetail quite nicely with the Duelfer report that's about to come out. I've been wondering what's been up with him for a while now. Seems about right that his report would come along about this time.

    STAY ON MESSAGE! STAY ON MESSAGE!!!!

    New Report Backs Iraq WMD Claims

    An upcoming report will contain "a good deal of new information" backing up the Bush administration's contention that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) pursued weapons of mass destruction, Senate Armed Services Committee (news - web sites) Chairman John Warner, R-Va., said.

    The administration cited Saddam's hunger for such weapons as a main reason to invade Iraq (news - web sites) last year.

    "I'm not suggesting dramatic discoveries," Warner told reporters Tuesday, but "bits and pieces that Saddam Hussein was clearly defying" international restrictions, "and he and his government had a continuing interest in maintaining the potential to shift to production of various types of weapons of mass destruction in a short period of time."

    The report is by the civilian head of the Iraq Survey Group, Charles Duelfer, who reports to the CIA (news - web sites) director. Initially the report was expected to be done this summer, but instead it will come out in September, Warner said.

    It's not on Fox New's website, maybe they got tired of jumping the gun on false info or something, but on Drudge, he has the link to that article and this one from Rueters.

    UPI was having financial troubles.

    I used to hold it equivalent to AP. No way anymore.

    "The three missiles were discovered by chance ..."

    Way to go, Chance! They should have put you on the case a long time ago!

    Damn! He works at 610 Sports Radio, writes tunes about Houston sports, and has the spare time to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq!

    Now that's what I call multi-tasking!:D
