December 3 sit down between Katie Couric and Condoleezza Rice and WMD's came up. We all need to hear what Rice had to say.

Let's keep in mind one thing: Condoleezza Rice is a grand intellectual, one who out-shines most of those who would interview her. Katie Couric is no exception to this rule.



Keep in mind these considerations and one remembers the WMD debate:

First, Iraq had WMD's and used them on at three different occasions. Secondly, that country had 14 months to get them out of the country before the United States and its allied forces invaded that nation . . . . . 14 months.

Bll Clinton and his CIA told Bush 43 that WMD's existed. See this LINK if you have forgotten. Then, there is the matter of unanimous congressional consent on the whole Iraq question. Apparently, Democrats do not understand that after you have started a war, you cannot apologize and "make it all better." Such thinking does not rise above childish stupidity. But who cares about childish stupidity when you are a Democrat repenting of past decisions ??

And we have these headlines, for the most part ignored by the MSM:

500 chemical weapons found by 2003. LINK

A rather detail article found in Wired, details some of the finds exposed by Wikileaks. LINK

And, here is a brief taken from a Wikileaks document dump back in August of this year.

An initial glance at the WikiLeaks war logs doesn’t reveal evidence of some massive WMD program by the Saddam Hussein regime — the Bush administration’s most (in)famous rationale for invading Iraq. But chemical weapons, especially, did not vanish from the Iraqi battlefield. Remnants of Saddam’s toxic arsenal, largely destroyed after the Gulf War, remained. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the Iraq conflict — and may have brewed up their own deadly agents.

In August 2004, for instance, American forces surreptitiously purchased what they believed to be containers of liquid sulfur mustard, a toxic “blister agent” used as a chemical weapon since World War I. The troops tested the liquid, and “reported two positive results for blister.” The chemical was then “triple-sealed and transported to a secure site” outside their base. …

Nearly three years later, American troops were still finding WMD in the region. An armored Buffalo vehicle unearthed a cache of artillery shells “that was covered by sacks and leaves under an Iraqi Community Watch checkpoint. “The 155mm rounds are filled with an unknown liquid, and several of which are leaking a black tar-like substance.” Initial tests were inconclusive. But later, “the rounds tested positive for mustard.”

Understand, that WMD's were there and recent reports verify that fact. This editor knows two men, one who worked for him for a summer, who spent several years in Iraq disarming WMDs of all types. Heck, Saddam buried a part of his air force in the dessert. If he busied himself with hiding his air force, what was he doing with his arsenal of WMDs ?

At any rate, Dr. Rice does a great job in explaining her view to the very uniformed Katie Couric.
