The network quoted a U.S. Army colonel in charge of inspecting key sites in Baghdad as saying no trace of a bunker or of bodies had been found at the site on the southern outskirts of the Iraqi capital, known as Dora Farms.

"When we came out here, the primary thing they were looking for was an underground facility, or bodies, forensics, and basically, what they saw was giant holes created. No underground facilities, no bodies," Col. Tim Madere said.

Shortly after the attack, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told reporters: "There's no question but that the strike on that leadership headquarters was successful. We have photographs of what took place. The question is, what was in there?"

When does it become acceptable to acknowledge that the country [America] is ruled by paranoid psycopath liars?

Actually the issue was that prior to the war they were talking about mobile biowarfare labs, and massive underground WMD facilities, etc. None of this has been found. The only mobile bio/chem weapons facilities found turned out to be mobile medical station for treating people in remote areas. The vast layberenth of underground weapons facilities. Not present.

The claim in the article that Rumsfeld made on the day of the war that they had visual proof of the destruction of the headquarters. Not true, it still stands unharmed.

What does any of this have to do with the article?

You must be reading a different article. Where does he say they have visual proof of the destruction of the headquarters? As for the compound being unharmed:
The network said the main palace in the compound remained standing
despite the surrounding destruction.

It does not say it was unharmed.

The network said the main palace in the compound remained standing despite the surrounding destruction. It quoted Madere as saying anyone who had been in the building could have survived the raid.


Okay, I admit untouched was to strong a word to use. However, the point remainds the same.

Believing to be bombing underground facilities that don't exist does have something to do with the article. Mobile labs is just extra info that leads me to say, they are paranoid and or liars when combined with info on their claims about underground bunkers.

Are you saying Iraq has no underground bunkers and that the notion was completly invented by the U.S.?

Could it be that Saddam Hussein isn't the high-tech criminal mastermind we were told he is? Someone's been watching too many James Bond movies, heh.

..........they are paranoid and or liars

Who is they? Rumsfeld?

Have you tried to write or call him/them about this?

Your point exactly?

It's his fault... naming his henchmen things like "Dr. Germ" and "Chemical Ali"

...and a 10,000-gallon Shark Tank!

Seriously, though, it is interesting how some people here don't believe ANYTHING the "controlled plutocratic racist media" says... UNLESS it's something they percieve as proving Bush/American policy in general as wrong, and preferably, as lying.
