More great intel

Iraq's national security adviser said Sunday unconventional weapons material might have gone to neighboring states in the war and Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is probably trying to get some.

Because, if he were Zarqawi, that's what he'd do? This is publishable intelligence? This is the kind of drivel someone in the high position of national security adviser spouts? Oh yeah, I guess if Condi can, why not Mowaffaq?.

The dangers of cronyism and purchased politicians couldn't be more evident than it is in the world today. Unfortunately, I don't think it can be otherwise, because we seem to be really short on wise folk. Or they're hiding very well. (And I couldn't blame them.) Maybe the creator has a better model human in some other part of the cosmos. The model in this part certainly isn't going to win any medals.

Mowaffaq al-Rubaie also said the Iraqi interim government had approved the transfer of all radioactive material in its possession to the United States, but said he could not be sure more material was not hidden inside Iraq by Saddam Hussein

Or looted and sold. As we've established a thousand times over, more material could be anywhere and everywhere at this point.

And, by the way, Bubba doesn't think he's all that crazy about bringing the stuff here, either.

"I have no shadow of doubt that..., with his evil mind, he (Zarqawi) will try to acquire these unconventional weapons," [Rabaie] told a news conference.

And if you have to have an "evil mind" to acquire unconventional weapons, then what does that say about all the countries who have them? Hogwash and rubbish. This stupid rhetoric is getting to be altogether too common. Everybody seems to be dumbing down to Bush's level.

"Just imagine if these weapons of mass destruction or any of these capabilities of making a dirty bomb or a chemical weapon or anything like this, if it falls in the hands of Zarqawi's gangsters and Zarqawi's people and these global terrorists or Saddam's former regime, what will happen?" he said.

Perhaps the warring field will level a little? And, since we don't have a freaking clue what happened to those weapons we're being told over and over that Saddam had access to and we still haven't found, then how do we know some evil-minded terrorist doesn't already have them?

Asked if unconventional weapons material may already be in the hands of Zarqawi or others like him, Rubaie said: "We don't know. We have no intelligence information on that."

Funny. The lack of intelligence information didn't stop him from being certain without a doubt that the Evil Doer is trying to get them.

Rubaie said there were indications that some unconventional materials had crossed borders into neighboring states, and said Iraq would seek to have it returned if so.

And I can only wonder who might have it and actually return it.

"There are some indications that these (unconventional materials) have gone that way during the conflict and immediately after the conflict," he said but gave no details.

No, of course not.

One of those fly-by comets sprayed the earth with stupid gas. Maybe we should take blood specimens and create a vaccine in case it comes by again.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
