Interesting. Check out the date. More fakery?

(not saying they faked the capture, just saying this reeks of more PR nonsense)

Bullshit. What evidence can you bring to the table? A vial of mundane bacteria sitting in a fridge since 1993? A bunch of miscellaneous laboratories (hint: any laboratory is a potential WMD factory, it's practically a tautology) with no evidence of any proscribed uses or materials whatsoever? Please.
This is a lot more than a normal science lab, and most scientists don't hide their work under their rose bushes... And frankly, you should read David Kay's interim report on whats been found so far.[/url]

Wow, one centrifuge. Why don't you learn the requirements behind enriching nuclear material to useable nuclear quantities before you pull out a *single* centrifuge that is a) useless and b) not been used since 1991. Or did you forget that the scientist who led coalition forces to it said there was no nuclear program, just like everyone else in the damn country?
And frankly, you should read David Kay's linterim report
I've read the thing, *that's* what I was referring to, in case you didn't notice. Of course, judging from your pulling out a useless centrifuge, which, if it had actually been used, might have been useful in nuclear weapons production if it had been operational for oh ... several hundred years, you don't really know much about NBC weapons or their components/manufacturing processes and have been easily dazzled by bullshit- which was the point of that report- playing on people's ignorance. That "report" has already been debunked on this board by myself and others, not to mention all over the internet.

When my Mom used to work in a hospital, she had a centrifuge in her lab. I guess it must have been a nuclear weapon in the making :roll:

Yes, it was a Super-Duper-Efficient-Iraqi-Centrifuge capable of single-handedly constructing nuclear weapons without any other materials, or infrastructure, while sitting untouched for a decade in a garden.

Don't worry on that score. There's far more chance of Michael Jackson being caught in a Vegas hotel room with hookers than the swearing in of President Lieberman. 8)

The Capture is a bit of sad news. Just think of all those poor Saddam Hussein doubles now permanently out of a job...

hey, there's plenty of work for them! all they have to do is learn to speak English and Tell jokes then they can come over to the States and make millions! I'd hire one for a dunk tank at a local carnival too.

The guy who could profit most off the war is the Iraqi Information Minister. If he wasn't a war criminal, he could easily be making a fortune here in the states doing commercials.

EDIT: As for Lieberman being elected, I wouldn't worry about it. Al Gore endorsed Dean because he knows that Liebrman is a waste of time for any Democrat to endorse. The guy's a Republican in Democrat's clothing.

Forget commercials; Baghdad Bob was the late war's best comedian. He should go right on the stand-up circuit before he gets his inevitable sitcom on NBC Must See Thursdays. 8)

We must invade that hospital and crush their WMD program before they can pose a threat to the world!


As for the topic, what is the reward, if there is one, for Hussein's capture, and who will get it?
