WMD in Saddam's Own Words

ABC's Nightline will play tapes, recently authenticated, in which Saddam Hussein discusses the use of WMD against America:

(CNSNews.com) - Secret audiotapes of Saddam Hussein discussing ways to attack America with weapons of mass destruction will be the subject of an ABC "Nightline" program Wednesday night, a former federal prosecutor told Cybercast News Service.

The tapes are being called the "smoking gun" of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq. The New York Sun reported that the tapes have been authenticated and currently are being reviewed by the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

The question remains as to what happened to the WMD. The most likely benefactor of Saddam's forced largesse was most likely Syria or Iran. Both scary scenarios.

While this will be downplayed, it is a significant development.

I can already here the the moonbats screaming about the tapes being fakes, or more likely; that this is a Rovian ploy to get the Cheney story out of the headlines.

Update: I missed the fact that Code Pink already had their say:

Jodie Evans of the anti-war group Code Pink, however, told Cybercast News Service that she does not think the Saddam recordings will lead to any new information. The government, according to Evans, has "said a lot of things for a long time."

"There's a difference between what they've been saying and what's real, and when they find something real, I'll comment."

The silence on the left is deafening.
