Pentagon cools on finding weapons 
Two 'clean' trucks is only evidence that Saddam was hiding arsenal 
Julian Borger in Washington

The Bush administration has conceded for the first time that Iraq's
alleged arsenal of banned weapons, the principal justification for the
US-led invasion, might never be found, after seven weeks of intensive
searches and interrogations have failed to produce any substantial
evidence.
A report by the CIA and Defence Intelligence Agency yesterday concluded
that two trucks found in northern Iraq with laboratory equipment
represented the "strongest evidence to date that Iraq was hiding a
biological warfare programme", but it conceded that no traces of
biological agents had been found, nor was there any indication that the
trucks had been used for that purpose.
The US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, had predicted that the
questioning of Iraqi scientists would lead to the discovery of
biological and chemical weapons, but he has now raised the possibility
that that might not happen.
"It's hard to find things in a country that's determined not to have you
find them," Mr Rumsfeld told a meeting of foreign affairs experts on
Tuesday. "It's also possible that they decided to destroy them prior to
the conflict."
The abrupt scaling down of expectations over the prospect of finding a
significant arsenal suggests that even the Pentagon is beginning to lose
hope of proving its case against the Iraqi regime it has just ousted.
"It's becoming painfully obvious that these programmes didn't exist on
the scale they said," said Joseph Cirincione, an expert on weapons
proliferation at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
The apparent unreliability of the case that the US and Britain made
against Iraq in the run-up to the invasion is the subject of a CIA
review by a panel of retired intelligence analysts. That review, part of
which has already been drafted, is likely to raise questions over Mr
Rumsfeld's role.
The most inflated pre-war claims about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction
were produced by an intelligence unit established in the Pentagon after
September 11, which became a channel for claims, made by Iraqi
defectors, to reach the White House.
The Pentagon's faith in the Iraqi exiles' assurances that US troops
would be embraced by the population - an assumption now widely blamed
for grossly inadequate preparations for postwar security - is also under
scrutiny.
"Everyone wants to give the administration more time, but as the weeks
go by, there is a growing sense of being lied to," Mr Cirincione said.
For the past few weeks US officials have been questioning several
prominent Iraqi scientists alleged to have been involved in secret
weapons programmes, including Rihab Taha, known as Dr Germ and Huda
Ammash. But according to one US intelligence source "they're all saying
everything had been destroyed".
The Iraqi detainees have reportedly told their interrogators that Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction were disposed of, not just before the war as
Mr Rumsfeld implied, but several years earlier.
The failure to find anything conclusive suggests that if Saddam Hussein
had been developing chemical and biological weapons, the programme was
not on the scale that the US and Britain alleged in the run-up to the
March invasion.
US officials are increasingly convinced that Iraq may not have
weaponised chemical and biological agents, but maintained a capacity to
do so.

Lo dice anche Rumsfeld che non hanno trovato un ca**o, e nell'articolo
che ho postato.

the conflict."
Strano, una persona di intelligenza appena media se ne sarebbe accorta.
Come mai a te risulta così difficile?

prior to the conflict."
E quindi dov'e' che direbbe che "non hanno trovato un ca**o"? :)

E' semplice: basta imparare a leggere. Attrezzati, orsů.

Lo dice la logica: se qualcuno che afferma di cercare le WMD ("It's hard to
find things in a country that's determined not to have you find them") ed
ipotizza che dette WMD siano state disctrutte ("It's also possible that they
decided to destroy them prior to the conflict"), lo stesso fatto che lo
ipotizzi (ovvero che non sappia se questa ipotesi corrisponda o meno a
verità) implica logicamente che non abbia trovato ciò che suppone sparito.

che non siano state trovate, non significa che non ci siano mai state. 
Oltretutto dice che è difficile trovarne non che non abbiano mai trovato 
nulla...
Oltretutto dimentichi la recente relazione di un ispettore dell'ONU 
sulla scoperta degli arsenali proibiti di Saddam smantellati i cui 
rottami sono stati ritrovati in depositi di rottami europei.
La stampa italiana di sx l'ha fatta passare in sordina ma la notizia è 
ufficiale. Appena la ritrovo la riposto così da farci 2 risate sulle 
fesserie della sx e su quelle che spari te LOL :)

indica soltato precisa onestà intellettuale e politica. Ci sono prove e 
studi riguardo alle WMD di Saddam che si sa per certo avesse, non sono 
state trovate, almeno il grosso da cui l'ipotesi che siano state 
distrurre. Invero di recente quest'ipotesi è stata avallata dal rapporto 
di un ispettore ONU in merito al ritrovo di rottami di armi proibite in 
depositi di rottami europei.
