I've been reading and digesting the text of a Clinton era meeting.

THREAT POSED BY ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE (EMP) TO U.S. MILITARY SYSTEMS AND CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE

House of Representatives,

Committee on National Security,

Military Research and Development Subcommittee,

Washington, DC, Wednesday, July 16, 1997.

Threat Posed by Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) to U.S. Military Systems and Civil Infrastructure

While the effects of EMP isn't really a part of this thread, what is of interest is the comments made during this meeting.... in 1997



DR. LOWELL WOOD, LAWRENCE LIVERMORE LABORATORY

Dr. WOOD. Scuds are almost invariably fired from mobile launchers, sir. That, of course, is the thing that made it so difficult for us to eliminate the Iraqi Scud-launching capability, is because they tended to pop out of hiding, erect, launch, and pop back into hiding before our strike fighters could localize them and kill them. We didn't have any confirmed kills of Scud-launching capability during Operation Desert Storm, in spite of having flown 8,000 sorties that were specific against Scud launchers.
.............................

I remind you that, in August of 1995, the director of the Iraqi special weapons projects defected to Jordan and stated—he happened to be Saddam Hussein's senior son-in-law, since deceased—but he stated in a press conference in Amman, Jordan, in August 1995, that his nation had been on track to have Scud-deliverable nuclear weapons by April 1991.

We went to war with Iraq in January, 1991, and finished our business with them in February as far as hostilities were concerned. His program was on track, he said, to produce more than one Scud-deliverable nuclear warhead 2 months after Desert Storm was completed.

So here we have testimony to Congress (during the Clinton years) about how impossible it was to destroy scud launchers by our Armed Forces during Desert Storm.

Couple that with another comment from..

HON. CURT WELDON, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM PENNSYLVANIA, CHAIRMAN, MILITARY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE

When we asked the intelligence community to respond and give us their assessment, as I told you, the two documents they sent to us were 10 years old. In fact, they were written by our staffer who worked for the CIA at that time. It indicates to me, in their sending information over in preparation for this hearing, nothing has been done of substance by the intelligence community in a written report form in the last 10 years. At least, they didn't send it to us and we asked for it.

Yes, Bush had bad INTEL, but it wasn't totally of his own doing.
Yes, there were (and maybe still are) WMD in Iraq.

Yes, I want to hurl when someone's only 'intelligent' response is "dumbya"

Oh, did you hear Hillary's screed this past weekend about how she wouldn't have voted for funding if she'd known. FER CHRIST's SAKE, she was "the President" when this all fell apart.

I did some huntin’ and peckin’ and it appears the bomb was thrown by Steve Doocy on the morning show. The funny part is Doocy is the weather guy. Think about all the weatherman jokes over the years about how accurate and truthful those guys are.

I thought CNN was a little smug about it since they’ve been caught outright doctoring a story on assault weapons along with their Iraq access scandal to name a couple. And Reuters had the embarrassment of the doctored war photos they had to pull. The truth is all the networks have their share of screw-ups from time to time. It seems the push for ratings gets in the way of good reporting.

I don’t think it’s going to hurt Obama as much as being a cigarette smoker will.

Actually I'm probably one of the least intelligent people on the board...I'm here to learn from some of the wiser individuals like Lurker, HWY, OOD, Wordy and others.... I have never called anyone stupid or naive and won't do that. I'm probably one of the more naive on the board....I threw that out there and if it somehow stuck to you then I guess it is what it is...No one else took offense to it. I don't sweat the misspellings because I don't care otherwise I would turn my spell check on. To save you time typing pointless posts to me and me wasting my time reading them I will now put you on ignore. That should solve the problem. Thanks for looking out for me. PS..I gave you some reputation for having my back.
