Did George W. Bush lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq ?

Did George W. Bush lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq ?

Not looking for controversy here, just some facts from former LLNL/LANL employees. No classified please.

I remember distinctly before the second Iraq invasion that a colleague of mine working in nuclear intelligence commented that the "business" around the precision aluminum tubes was a fraud. He stated that the Labs knew that there was no connection with any past or present isotope separation program in Iraq, and that the accusation on behalf of the Bush administration was a fraud.

Other so called evidence, like the presence of chemicals to make agricultural products, was also "cooked up" to back the claim that Iraq had an active chemical weapons program prior to the invasion.

Lockheed agrees to pay DoJ 5 million fine

Lockheed agrees to pay DoJ 5 million fine...for facility that it hasn't operated for DoE since 1999


This open ended liability years after a M&O has left a location is why no respectable business would consider bidding on a DoE facility.

Charlie's wife

Charlie's wife is a nurse in Occupational Medicine. The position was a new position created as part of the hiring of McMillan as Lab Director; it was negotiated with Norm Pattiz and Glen Mara when he had his UCOP VP job. Dr. Scherer raised concerns but they were over ridden by AD Brandt. The rest is history. Unexcused absences, poor performance, and cookie baking in the Occ Med kitchen.
