WTF Is It Now?!?

What's new in Bush's war-for-'04

Saddam had WMDs destroyed in '91, scientists claim
"The row over whether Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction was reignited yesterday, after the former head of the country's nuclear program said Saddam Hussein ordered the destruction of the arms and the means to produce them in 1991.

"Jafar Dhia Jafar said UN inspectors had 'reached total conviction' that Iraq was free of nuclear weapons: 'Saddam Hussein issued orders in July 1991 for the destruction of all banned weapons, in addition to the systems to produce them. It was carried [out] by the Special Republican Guard forces.'"

US bullied UN inspectors into hiding fact that Iraq was free of WMDs
"A leading Iraqi nuclear scientist accused UN inspectors Monday of succumbing to US pressure by keeping their findings silent that Iraq was free of weapons of mass destruction before the US-led invasion last year. Jafar was the head of the nuclear program in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.

"I believe the UN should also investigate the facts that were known before the war and look into the reasons why (inspectors) did not declare them to the Security Council," said Jafar, who was jailed by Saddam Hussein in 1979, and took charge of the uranium enrichment program following his release after nearly two years of imprisonment."

Iraqi constitution signing may be the start, not end, of outright civil war
'Bush once again ignored the warning of the UN to tread very slowly and instead opted for a rush-job "constitution signing" photo op moment.'

They're still dying
Two Americans working for the US-led coalition were shot dead along with their Iraqi translator after their car was stopped at a makeshift checkpoint by men dressed as Iraqi policemen near Hillah in south-central Iraq Tuesday night.
