Bulletin: Iraq Has WMD and Links to al-Qaeda

Haven't I heard this somewhere before? Let me think... Oh, yeah, about a gazillion times from Bush and Blair since last summer.

"Blair: No Doubt Saddam Had Banned Weapons
LONDON 4.28.03, 8:20a --
Prime Minister Tony Blair said Monday he had no doubt that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and predicted that evidence would emerge linking Saddam Hussein to terrorist groups. Blair told reporters that coalition forces had identified about 1,000 suspicious Iraqi weapons sites but rebuilding the country was a bigger priority than finding illegal arms. "There isn't any doubt that Iraq has had weapons of mass destruction," the British prime minister said at his monthly news conference. "That is not in dispute, not by anybody. I remain confident they will be found."

Saddam's alleged program to develop biological, chemical and nuclear arms was the main justification for U.S.-led war that ousted the Iraqi dictator. But no such weapons were used against coalition forces, and Blair's critics say the failure so far to find illicit arms proves war was unnecessary. No weapons of mass destruction have been found by coalition troops. Blair suggested Saddam hid his banned weapons before the arrival of U.N. inspectors."
