The War on Terror Making For Strange Bedfellows

As I said in a previous post, it appears that the Bush administration is sitting on or perhaps to be more precise, prohibiting any new information about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction from reaching the public. I also asked many questions, the biggest being why?

It now is appearing more and more that Bush feels that whatever help he thinks he can get out of France, Russia and China, is more important than proving to the world that Saddam did have his weapons and where they are now.

Those who are certain the weapons got moved to Syria by Russia, are being squelched and in some cases being referred to as lunatics. From the research that has taken place since the invasion of Iraq, the U.S. has learned many things and many of those things point embarassing fingers at France, Russia and China for their participation in helping Saddam create those weapons of mass destruction.

Lt. General Tom McInerney, USAF (Ret) appeared on Fox’s O’Reilly Factor back on February 21, 2006 and talked about the translated files and videos that briefly made an appearance in the news and once again, everything seems to be swept back under the rug. He agrees somewhat with what I have been saying that Bush doesn’t want to embarass our allies in France, Russia and China.

These three countries must be doing something very important and crucial in this terror war or as I have said before, they got something on Bush and their squeezing him to cover the story.

Gen. McInerney is quite adamant about the fact that he believes without a doubt the Russian special forces, dressed in civilian clothes, moved Saddam’s chemical, biological and nuclear weapons into Syria just prior to the U.S. invasion.

This all brings me back to two major questions that I am determined to find the answers to. One, why are there still boxes and boxes full of untranslated files sitting somewhere in the Pentagon and two, what is it that Bush is so willing to hide that he would allow the Republican Party to suffer through the embarassment that it has since he himself, admitted there were no weapons of mass destruction?

Whatever the reasons, they better be good ones.
