Disarm Saddam Hussein
Despite the many reports on the false allegations of WMDs leading up to the invasion of Iraq, this "factsheet" remains on the WH website.

:wtf:
* The U.N. and U.S. intelligence sources have known for some time that Saddam Hussein has materials to produce chemical and biological weapons, but he has not accounted for them:
26,000 liters of anthrax—enough to kill several million people
38,000 liters of botulinum toxin
500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agents

* Almost 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents
From three Iraqi defectors, we know that Iraq in the late 1990s had several mobile biological weapons labs. But he has not disclosed them.

* The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, a design for a nuclear weapon, and was working on methods of enriching uranium for a nuclear bomb. He recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa, according to the British Government. He has attempted to purchase high strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons, according to our intelligence sources. Yet he has not credibly explained these activities.

* Thousands of Iraqi security personnel are at work hiding documents and materials from the UN inspectors.

* Iraqi officials accompany all inspectors in order to intimidate witnesses.

* Iraq is blocking U-2 surveillance flights requested by the U.N.
Saddam Hussein has ordered that scientists who cooperate with the UN be killed, along with their families.

* Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including al-Qaida members. He could provide hidden weapons to terrorists, or help them develop their own. It would take just one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known.

1. OMFG!
It still has the lie about enriched uranium that was in the SOTU speech that Valerie Plame was outed over. It still says that discredited lie about the aluminum tubes. Amazing that they would be so stupid to still have this up. This just proves that we no longer have a free press because how is this not already known and discussed? This country has become an international joke. I hate the * administration. I wish there was a hell for them to burn in. :grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:
