Frank Gaffney -- a neoconservative and head of a new group called "Victory Caucus" that smears any Republicans that oppose Bush's war policy -- told Tucker Carlson today that Saddam Hussein had weapons that he was going to use in U.S. cities. Here is the video
Partial Transcript:
GAFFNEY: We now know that Saddam Hussein had hot production lines for biological and chemical weapons.
CARLSON: You really believe that?
GAFFNEY: This is what the Iraq Survey Group determined. Hot production lines and both plans to ramp them up once sanctions came off and to put them into aerosol cans and perfume sprayers to send to the United States and Europe.
Simply amazing! That is called lying. Here was what the Iraq Survey Group actually reported:
"While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of checmical munitions thereafter, a policy ISG attributes to Baghdad's desire to see sanctions lifted, or rendered ineffectual, or its fear of force against it should WMD be discovered."
Even President Bush has admitted the exact same thing. In 2004, this was Bush in his own words:
"The chief weapons inspector, Charles Duelfer, has now issued a comprehensive report that confirms the earlier conclusion of David Kay that Iraq did not have the weapons that our intelligence believed were there."
Nice try, Mr. Gaffney.
