Would you PLEASE put an OT header on this
crap. I am enjoying this newsgroup now that I
have all my filters and kills set to ignore all this
crap.

Scientist: Iraq Had No Nuclear Program After Gulf War
Thank Jesus Bush is protecting us Americans from the truth!!!!!!!!

A senior official in Iraq's new science ministry says the country never
revived its nuclear program after U.N. inspectors dismantled it in the
1990's.

Abbas Balasem, an official of the new U.S.-backed administration in
Baghdad, said Tuesday Iraqi scientists had no way to re-start the
program because the inspectors took away all the necessary resources.

The former chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix echoed those
sentiments, telling Australian radio he believes Iraq destroyed almost
all of the weapons of mass destruction it had in the summer of 1991 - a
position Iraq constantly maintained.

That year, the International Atomic Energy Agency found what it called a
secret Iraqi program to develop nuclear weapons. The agency spent next
several years dismantling Iraq's capability.

Meanwhile, U.S. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said the Bush
administration had never accused ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein of
being involved in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the
United States.

U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld also said there was no indication
of Iraqi involvement in the attacks. A recent Washington Post poll said
more than two-thirds of Americans believe the ousted Iraqi leader was
involved.

What? An agency of the U.S. government is now reporting there are no WMD?

Kee-rist.
