Unknown Unknowns Coming Into Focus -- Blinding Flash Countdown Begins
Wretchard pokes further into the giant ring:
The liberal sneering at the American failure to find WMD stockpiles in Iraq is like making fun of a man who, having been tested for diabetes, receives a negative result but is told that what he really has is cancer. The US rightly feared that rogue states were developing weapons of mass destruction but did not have the breadth of imagination to conceive of the extraordinary web of cooperation between Pakistan, North Korea, European arms dealers and the Arabian states, who contributing according to their abilities, solved the problem of the atomic bomb. We went looking for an Iraqi bomb and found an international one.BTW, even the U.N. stooge El Baradei has admitted in recent comments about how amazed he is at what has been uncovered via Wacky G's cave in...
The race to prevent rogue nations from acquiring WMDs has already been lost, and the race to keep them from falling into private hands is all but. The most horrifying thing about David Kay's report is his finding that Saddam's weapons were never under his control at all, but in the actual keeping of his minions, who misled him at every turn. The componentry may now be in Syria, where, if Iraq is any guide, they are under even looser custody. If the Saudis have made no secret of their desire to buy nuclear weapons, it is only because they know that these are for sale. It is safe to predict that the next mass attack on America will involve fission weapon of Pakistani design with a 40Kt yield, charged with uranium purified by Malaysian manufactured centrifuges from a design originally developed by Urenco in the Netherlands and probably paid for by Saudi Arabia. The World Bomb.
Perhaps having Libya chair the U.N. human rights commission wasn't enough. Perhaps Iran can chair the U.N.'s commission on feminism.
He Meant What He Said
Charles hits a home run posting this one on Hitler's second book. But this comment is just beautiful:
Better yet: read Churchill's multi-volume history of WW II.Bingo.
Learn how decent people fail to stand up to Evil when there's a chance of stopping it before it gets going.
Learn how decent people don't really fight until it's almost too late.
Learn how real leaders who clearly see what's happening are demonized and accused of being extremists and fearmongerers.
Learn how the appeasers dropped the whole mess in Churchill's lap and cried "If you are so smart, you fix it!"

Huge Ring, Part 2 of Infinity...
WaPo has the guts to run the story that explains the war:
And luckily enough, there was no chance that Saddam would have take advantage of this when the sanctions came off. Absolutely no chance whatsoever. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. LOL
Libya's quest for atomic weapons was aided by a sophisticated nuclear black market that offered weapons designs, real-time technical advice and thousands of sensitive parts -- some of them apparently manufactured in secret factories, according to diplomats and experts familiar with the probe of Libya's weapons program.No comment from the left's echo chambers yet. Will this story be buried do you think???
The scale of the black-market operation -- described by one expert as an "international supermarket" for nuclear parts -- exceeds anything seen before, and it was undetected by Western intelligence agencies until recent months, the officials said. The same operation also is believed to have aided Iran, they said.
The smuggling enterprise supplied Libya with thousands of parts for gas centrifuges -- machines that enrich uranium for nuclear weapons -- as well as machine tools for making additional centrifuges, the sources said. It also provided Libya with designs for making a nuclear bomb, officials with the International Atomic Energy Agency revealed yesterday.
Investigators believe some of the centrifuge parts came from factories built expressly to manufacture nuclear components for the black market -- a development that would represent a new and problematic milestone in nuclear proliferation. U.S. and IAEA officials are investigating one possible manufacturing site in Malaysia, with the help of that country's government, well-placed officials said. The site has been visited by U.S. officials in the past two weeks, the sources said.
The identities of the people behind the smuggling operation have not been revealed, but investigators say the centrifuges provided to Libya are of the same design as machines used in Pakistan's nuclear weapons program. In recent weeks, Pakistan's government has begun investigating whether its nuclear scientists sold sensitive information to Iran and possibly others.
And luckily enough, there was no chance that Saddam would have take advantage of this when the sanctions came off. Absolutely no chance whatsoever. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. LOL
How 'bout those German prosecutors and their witnesses? After reading this piece, it's hard to tell who most wants to suppress these goings on -- the U.S. press or the Bush administration...
