Washington (IWR Satire) – U.S. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice defends President Bush on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’. Rice said “technically speaking” that President Bush was not guilty of lying to the American People about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. Miss Rice said that the President for example had his fingers crossed during his October 5 radio address when he said:
Radio Address October 5, 2002
“We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas.”
“We’ve also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We’re concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVS for missions targeting the United States.”
“The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. Saddam Hussein has held numerous meetings with Iraqi nuclear scientists, a group he calls his “nuclear mujahideen” – his nuclear holy warriors. Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past. Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons.”
