 Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Pete Hoekstra, continues to believe that weapons of mass destruction were in Iraq at the start of the Iraq War. In this clip from CNN Late Edition, Hoekstra points to documents revealed in the New York Times as showing that Saddam was much closer to having a nuclear bomb than many people thought. The host of the program, Wolf Blitzer, interrupts Hoekstra and indicates that Hoekstra is basing his disingenuous claim on document describing Iraq's capabilities prior to the first Gulf War. Iraq was not allowed to retain the nuclear technology after the war. On Friday, RAW STORY reported on how Dan Bartlett, counselor to the President, was claiming that the unauthenticated Iraqi documents show that "Saddam Hussein had the capability and was working towards a nuclear weapon program." |
