i think it was in the NY Times.... anyone have a link to the article about how Iraq had weapons but they were looted and smuggled out while we were there?

I heard about that article on a couple shows.. wondered if anyone has seen it or NY Times took it down already.

From what they read it says, Bush was so stupid he let all the weapons (which weren't there heh) be looted and smuggled out while our military was there.

I remember that article. It came out prior to the elections and it was a topic of discussion on this board. Try searching their archives for Oct. 04.

Looting at Weapons Plants Was Systematic, Iraqi Says
By JAMES GLANZ and WILLIAM J. BROAD

Published: March 13, 2005

BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 12 - In the weeks after Baghdad fell in April 2003, looters systematically dismantled and removed tons of machinery from Saddam Hussein's most important weapons installations, including some with high-precision equipment capable of making parts for nuclear arms, a senior Iraqi official said this week in the government's first extensive comments on the looting.

maybe? Not weapons per se, the tools to make them.
