Yes, it is, isn't it? Now go away - preferably for good, but if you do feel it's necessary to come back - and read the procedings of the Hutton Enquiry.

The wording of this entry escapes you. "Ready to be Deployed within 45min. of the order being given". "Ready". How long would it take to pick up a phone and contact a ready and waiting field commander in the event of an attack? 45min. is a long time under those conditions. That was of course before the Iraqi Government Chickened out
After that they tried to destroy as much evidence as they could.
Where exactly did the traces of weapons grade uranium come from that were found in Iran? Where did Saddam sent his usless but expensive Russian built fighters for safe keeping during the last war? Iran.

Well, I know that last time I refenced Sneakers no-one remembered the film, but. . .

Another reference to an obscure film. David Kelly said he never made the statements attributed to him. And now the BBC is backing off on some of their claims. Any comments on that.

I've seen Sneakers. It's not very obscure. After all, it has Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Kingsley, River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier, and James Earl Jones in it, among others. It was also directed by Phil Alden Robinson, who did the movies Clear and Present Danger, The Sum of All Fears, and Rabbit Proof Fence, among others.
But this thread is not a debate about what films are obscure. It is a debate about WMD. It should not turn into another shouting match between MM & other members that will get it closed down by CC.

As for Iran--Saddam did a pretty dumb thing giving his planes to them in '91. They kept them, in fact, at least for a while. But that incident does not mean Saddam gave Iran his WMD's simply because inspectors found enriched uranium at an Iranian nuclear site. No, that just means Iran developed it on their own.

Yet Iran claims the traces of enriched uranium were there because the equipment they bought second hand from an unnamed source were contaminated. The BBCs Apology for Giligans actions should be some indication that all is not right.

They hired someone named "Giligan"? Yeah, something's definitely not right.

Yeah I thought that was kind of funny to. This Gilligan character apparently made up alot of this stuff himself and then let everyone think that Kelly told it to him. The BBC has begun to distance itself from him and the whole deal is caving in. Damn shame about Kelly. He did nothing wrong and caught all the heat because Gilligan wanted to sell a story. http://www.guardian.co.uk./hutton/story/0,13822,1049622,00.html

Actualy I saw the Movie Sneakers I was not impressed,at least not to the extent some aparently were. I would link you all to some very enlightening info on the Hutton inquiry but it would be a waste of time. The TV movie will hold your interest much better. It could be on the Fox Channel by Christmas.

Oh, here we go again. The old "I know all this important info which proves I'm right but I'm not going to tell you because blah blah blah. . ." Christ, you're a waste of space. How about this - you go back to whining to yourself about how misrepresented your home state's (which one was it again?) been in the history books, and we'll all just ignore you. Works for me.

Now,Now. Lets not start Trolling Again Dr. Bashir,excuse me "Lee" if that is your real name.There will be plenty of movie refences to Iraq for you to chose from soon enough.
The Hutton Investigation is an open book. The BBCs change in tune is fairly recent but it has been made public by the same source everyone else around here seems to use most.
Look up the information yourself if you like. If not just wait for the mini-series.

I think it was less a case of him sending them there as them running away as rapidly as possible to anywhere that didn't have Tornados trying to shoot them down.

I do hope you're trying to be funny.

He did. That's what the link he gave you is. And whatever the hell you're blathering on about a mini-series for I don't know but if it's as inaccurate as the dossier then it ought to be very amusing.
