While Sestak said Iraq was "not a clear nor a present danger" because no weapons of mass destruction have been found, Weldon said he knows of four sites in Basra and Nasiriyah that have yet to be searched for biological or chemical weapons. "I think the jury is still out on WMD," said Weldon, who also believes Saddam Hussein may have smuggled the weapons to Syria with Russian assistance prior to the March 2003 invasion.
As of Wednesday morning, 2,438 U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq. Total U.S. spending in Iraq and Afghanistan would reach nearly $400 billion -- with more than three-quarters going to Iraq -- under a bill a House-Senate committee is negotiating, Reuters reported Wednesday.
Hours before his press conference, Sestak came under attack from the Weldon campaign, which accused him of misusing his position in the Clinton administration more than a decade ago.
Weldon campaign chairman Michael Puppio said Sestak should take responsibility for what he said was a scheme to funnel $100,000 from Enron Corp. to the Democratic National Committee by threatening in 1995 to cut off U.S. aid to Mozambique if the African nation refused to let Enron develop its natural gas fields.
Sestak said he had no involvement with Enron as the National Security Council’s director for defense policy. "Mozambique?" he asked, appearing confused by Puppio’s allegation. "I’m sorry, I don’t know what they’re talking about."

"It's Clinton's Fault". Many people here at DU sadly fell for his "Able Danger" shit.
