I have posted this information before.
However, I need help understanding where the confusion
begins/ends!
If this man gave this REPORT in his OFFICIAL capacity to the
INTERNATIONAL BODY stating that;
1) They were aware of the explosives
2) Explosives had been MOVED
3) SADDAM/IRAQ had informed & provided DOCUMENTATION
4) He was concerned that THEY COULD NOT TRUST/VERIFY that
5) He stated an AMOUNT (32 TONS OF HMX)
6) Saddam provided DOCUMENTATION they had been MOVED
7) Saddam provided DOCUMENTATION of the USE
INSPECTIONS had been conducted on MOVEMENT/USE!!
9) They continue to investigate RELOCATION/CONSUMPTION
10) They had NO TECHNICAL METHOD to VERIFY the USE
** This OFFICIAL REPORT was ONE MONTH BEFORE the invasion!
I do not know WHICH LIE to believe from that man!!
His comments have as much veracity as Kerry's to me.
Please someone help me understand what I am missing...
I did walk two blocks to school. I know the emphasis on this edit
looks like I am screaming.. I am. Help.
Make it a great day for spite!

NY Times Flashback: Paper Reported Saddam Transferred High Explosives
The New York Times claimed this week
that hundreds of tons
of high explosives
had been removed from the Al-Qaqaa weapons
depot while the facility was under U.S. control.
But Times reporters knew way back in Feb. 2003
that the removal process was instigated -
not by looters or insurgents after the U.S. liberation -
but instead by the government of Saddam Hussein.
On Feb. 15, 2003, the Times reported
on an address to the United Nations Security Council by Mohamed ElBaradei,
the UN's chief nuclear watchdog.
In quotes covered extensively by the paper,
ElBaradei shared his concern
about the removal of high explosives from facilities like Al Qaqaa:
"We have also continued to investigate
the relocation and consumption of the high explosive HMX,"
ElBaradei explained
a month before the U.S. invasion.
"As I reported earlier, Iraq has declared that 32 tons of the HMX, previously under I.A.E.A. seals,
had been transferred for use in the production of industrial explosives,
primarily to cement plants as a booster for explosives used in quarrying."
Baradei noted that Saddam's government had even confirmed the movement of the HMX,
in quotes also picked up by the Times 21 months ago: "Iraq
has provided us with additional information,
(including documentation) on the movement and use of this material,
and (inspections) have been conducted at locations
where the material is said to have been used.
[u]"However, given the nature of the use of high explosives," ElBaradei said,
"it may well be that the I.A.E.A. will be unable to reach a final conclusion on the end use of this material.
While we have no indication that this material was used for any application other than that declared by Iraq,
we have no technical method of verifying quantitatively
the declared use of the material in explosions. . . . "
While the Times, CBS News and the presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry
continue to insist that the removal of HMX and other high
explosives took place sometime after
the liberation of Iraq began on March 19, 2003,
they have yet to address ElBaradei's Security Council report clearly indicating those claims are not true.
ElBaradei NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY WHATEVER
RECOURSE IS AVAILABLE!!!
Keep up the heat! We have JUST BEGUN to fight!
Make it a hot day.
