American Thinker: Disconfirmations Disconfirmed: Saddam Had Nuke Program (Updated)

The media have been telling us for years that Saddam had no WMD, so “Bush’s War”: was based on a “lie.” And those who believed Saddam did have WMD or WMD programs were delusional or worse.

But today, on July 6, 2008, the Associated Press reports that

* Saddam Hussein had a nuclear program
* At the Tuwaitha nuclear complex just south of Baghdad
* Which included 550 metric tons (over 1.2 million pounds) of “yellowcake”, or concentrated uranium
* And multiple devices that could be used in a nuclear weapon.

I have been hearing that there is no reason to pump more oil for some time now. If plenty of oil is being pumped but everyone is cutting back because of the price where is the oil? You can only store so much oil and then you would have to stop pumping but no one is doing that so obviously greed is the reason that OPEC does not want to increase production. They are lying through their teeth.

I would be past asking OPEC and Saudi Arabia to pump more oil. Its time the world told them they will pump more oil until the price gets down to around $50 a barrel or OPEC is going to be internationally outlawed as the criminal cartel it is.

OPEC is bring the world to an economic crises point and if the big powers don’t do something rather quickly it is going to be too late.

I have a suggestion. Everyone should open up their national oil reserves right now and at the same time the U.S. should take care of the Iranian nuclear and military threat. After this threat is out of the way there will be no future oil speculation because of the Iranian threat. Then we should go all out to help Iraq gear up their oil producing capability and also tell Saudi Arabia that they will fill the gap or they risk dire consequences.

OPEC sees no need to pump more after price surge | Reuters

DUBAI (Reuters) – OPEC members saw no need on Sunday to pump more oil in response to last week’s double-digit surge in oil prices to over $139 a barrel that top exporter Saudi Arabia described as unjustified.

Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia is the only OPEC member with capacity to boost output quickly and significantly.

But Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi and his Pakistani counterpart met on Sunday and agreed that the price rise was unjustified and unrelated to market fundamentals, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

“The increase of the oil prices is becoming a real threat to the worldwide economy,” Germany’s Economy Minister Michael Glos told Reuters.

$150 OIL?

OPEC blames factors beyond its control, including speculation and international political tension, for the price rises. Those factors could take prices even higher soon, said Iran’s OPEC representative Muhammad Ali Khatibi.

“I forecast that by the end of summer the price of oil will reach $150 a barrel,” Mohammad Ali Khatibi was quoted as saying by Iran’s state broadcaster.

Democrats represent the majority of Americans so what does that say about national sanity? It is obvious to me that the leadership of neither party have sane answers on many issues but who elects them?

The Democrats are insane

The popular definition of insanity is making the same mistake over and over again expecting a different result.

By this definition, the Democratic Party leadership is insane.

Three examples:

High gas prices: The Democrats’ answer? A back-to-the-glorious-70s Jimmy Carter freeze in the dark replay with a global warming twist.

Health insurance availability and cost: The Democrats’ answer? A back-to-the-90s Hillary Clinton government seizure of the whole health care system.

War in Iraq: The Democrats’ plan? Declare defeat on the brink of success to relive the glory days of Vietnam.

Read on and weep for the great Democratic Party

Apparently that story you heard on 60 Minutes about the military just producing a non lethal ray gun is disinformation. The weapons were designed to be quite lethal. They were developed five years ago and they could have been used in Iraq to save troops lives. However, some in the administration think it would not be politically correct to use such a powerful weapon against those trying to kill our people. So we get lies about why the weapon were developed and they soft shoe it as a not lethal weapon. So our boys do not get to use it but instead many of them get to die.

FP: Why did 60 Minutes provide this information to the country without double checking it? They are putting our soldiers’ lives in greater danger, no?Gaubatz: I want to believe Ms. Mary Walsh had good intentions and believed the information she was being provided was accurate. Ms. Walsh knows the 60 Minutes story is now false and Pentagon officials lied to her. The big question is rather: will 60 Minutes admit they made a huge mistake which continues to put our soldier’s lives in danger everyday. Each day that goes by and another soldier dies should weigh heavily on every member of 60 Minutes. Each mother who is handed a letter from a Pentagon official advising their son or daughter was killed in Iraq, should write a letter to Mary Walsh and ask her how she can continue not to reveal the truth.

I can sleep easy at night because I have always brought out the truth in regards to issues in Iraq. Can Mary Walsh, David Martin (60 Minutes), and the Pentagon officials?

Our World: From Basra to Bethlehem to Beit El Jerusalem Post

BRITAIN’S foolish and dangerous actions in Basra are strikingly similar to the international community’s policies regarding the Palestinian Authority generally and the PA’s security services specifically. And whereas in Iraq there is some chance that the wreck the British have made of Basra can be fixed by the Iraqi military and the US forces in the country, there is no countervailing force to curb the adverse impacts of the international community’s treatment of the corrupt, terror supporting, jihadist Palestinian security forces. This is the case because the Israeli government, which is the only countervailing force that could repair the damage, is exacerbating the problem.

Since the PA and its security forces were formed in 1994, they have never once taken serious action against the terror infrastructure in either Judea and Samaria or Gaza. Indeed, the PA and its security services played a central role in building those infrastructures of terror. Beyond that, since 1996, every single time that the PA’s security services have been forced to choose between Israel and the terrorists, they have joined ranks with the terrorists to attack Israel.
In spite of this fact, yesterday representatives of 90 states and organizations convened in Paris and pledged to give the PA $5.6 billion over the next three years. The PA will receive some $1.7 billion next year – $1.2 billion of which will go to funding the PA budget. Most of that money will be spent paying the salaries, arming and training the PA security forces.

The ‘Concerned Local Citizens’ Program Grows into a Bona-Fide Phenomenon – HUMAN EVENTS: “Called “basically a thumb in the eye of the Maliki government that won’t get its [act] together” by one American officer, the Concerned Local Citizens program puts ground-level security in the hands of the individual tribes and groups who need it most. Under the program’s coalition-crafted guidelines, members of individual tribes are allowed to arm themselves and to conduct their own security operations and patrols, provided that, among other requirements, they submit to the authority of Coalition and Iraqi Security forces.
The main premise behind the Concerned Local Citizens program is simply the belief that Iraqis as a whole oppose the militias and terrorist groups that have plagued Iraq for the last several years — and that citizen empowerment, backed by the coalition, will lead to a rejection of the forces that terrorize the civilian population in a given area.”

We need to implement that same concept in our own inner cities.

Minister insists Britain did not ‘flee’ Basra as Al Qaeda No 2 celebrates the Daily Mail: “Defence Minister Bob Ainsworth today insisted ‘We have not been forced to retreat’ from Basra after the Al Qaeda deputy celebrated the British decision ‘to flee’.”

Actually you did flee Iraq. When you announced you would pull out your troops because you thought Iraq was a lost cause you did exactly that. The only reason there is a chance of success in Iraq is because the US would not leave and allow the Islamics to take over Iraq. The British politicians were like all the liberals who just planned to cut and run.

FOXNews.com – Bill Clinton Tells Iowans: I ‘Opposed Iraq’ From Start – Politics Republican Party Democratic Party Political Spectrum
MUSCATINE, Iowa — Showing inconsistency on an issue that has dogged his wife, former President Bill Clinton told Iowa Democrats on Tuesday that he “opposed (war in) Iraq from the beginning.”
Clinton was in Iowa on the campaign trail for his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.
On Iraq, he told the crowd that wealthy people like he and his wife should pay more taxes in times of war. “Even though I approved of Afghanistan and opposed Iraq from the beginning, I still resent that I was not asked or given the opportunity to support those soldiers,” Clinton said”

Do we really want four more years of the Clinton’s lying to our face? Apart from his lie about his position on Iraq his statement that he was not given the opportunity to support those soldiers is absurd. Must government force you to pay higher taxes if you think you are not paying enough? Anyone, I repeat anyone can pay more taxes if they want to. The government will not refuse your contributions so please spare us the sanctimonious crap about not being taxed enough. Who says you cannot use your money for the benefit of mankind? Must government force you to do what is right?

Political Radar: Giuliani: Clinton Spewing ‘Political Venom’ on Iraq
“Despite what I view is your rather extraordinary efforts in your testimony both yesterday and today,” said Clinton, “I think that the reports that you provide to us really require a willing suspension of disbelief.”

“Giuliani accused Clinton of “playing into” a MoveOn.org ad that ran in the New York Times Monday that read: “General Petraeus or General Betray Us?”
After co-host Spiff Carner said, “She’s trying to tell us that she knows more about the whole situation than he does,” Giuliani shot back by saying, “Doesn’t it also sound like she’s also saying that he isn’t telling the truth?”

“I really do think to accuse a general of the ‘willing suspension of disbelief,’ particular in the atmosphere that Moveon.org has created with these terrible attacks, I don’t know, I mean I think that’s not the way in a responsible way to go about , you know, forging the foreign policy of the United States and the military policy of the United States,” said Giuliani. “I think this name calling, you know, saying to people, ‘willing suspension of disbelief,’ and then saying the horrible thing they said about betrayal — that is the last thing we need right now.”

Hillary did not break with Moveon.org on this issue. She made her bed and now she must lay in it. To accuse a top general of deception during war time could turn out to be the biggest mistake of her political career.

Chuck Baldwin — 9/11, Six Years Later: “Yet, President Bush would have us believe that he is fighting a ‘war on terrorism’ by invading Iraq, a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. However, the war in Iraq has done little to fight terrorism, and has done much to assist it.

Instead of invading a country with no ties to 9/11, we should have followed Ron Paul’s advice. Congress should have passed H.R. 3076, the September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001, and sent our forces on a specific and narrow mission to take out bin Laden and al-Qaeda.

Chuck Baldwin has a short memory. We did not invade Iraq to fight against the same terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attack. Those who say this are revising history for their own propaganda. We went into Iraq to take out Saddam and his butchers who were terrorists of another type. We went in because all intelligence told us they had WMD capabilities. Almost all Americans were behind this US action.

Even in hindsight we had to invade. If Bush did nothing against Iraq and Saddam had still been in power at the next national election Americans would have dumped Bush and elected someone who would invade Iraq. You probably would have been all for it as well.

If Saddam were still in Iraq today the problems in the Middle East would be worse not better. The terror threat to the US and Israel would be worse not better.

As a Christian, I do not know why you cannot understand that the root evil is Islamofascism and it must be defeated. It does not matter what country the Fascists reside in. Islamofascism must be defeated as an ideology throughout the world or we will have a clash of civilizations that will make World War II look like a small pilot project.

We made some huge mistakes in Iraq just after the invasion and we are paying for those mistakes but the invasion was justified as almost all Americans agreed at the time.

Since you do not seem to know it, we have had a mission to take out Bin Laden and al-Qaeda ever since 9/11. Just passing a bill in Congress does not accomplish this task. If you are implying we can just invade Pakistan without their permission it would make the war in Iraq seem mild in comparison.

It is easy for you to sit there and second guess and bad mouth our elected national leaders with your hindsight but who in the world certified you as an expect on foreign affairs?

You should be preaching the gospel you were trained to preach instead of just pandering to hindsighters, conspiracy nuts and malcontents and preaching a false gospel. Is this what you preach on Sunday?
