Let me see if I understand this: we can take a photo of a sunbather from space

[KansDem]

...but we can't get any photos from space of the WMDs that Bush reported Saddam to have, either in Iraq or being transported out of Iraq (to Syria as popularly reported by the Bushistas)?

In 1995, after several years of deceit by the Iraqi regime, the head of Iraq's military industries defected. It was then that the regime was forced to admit that it had produced more than 30,000 liters of anthrax and other deadly biological agents. The inspectors, however, concluded that Iraq had likely produced two to four times that amount. This is a massive stockpile of biological weapons that has never been accounted for, and capable of killing millions.

We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas. Saddam Hussein also has experience in using chemical weapons. He has ordered chemical attacks on Iran, and on more than forty villages in his own country. These actions killed or injured at least 20,000 people, more than six times the number of people who died in the attacks of September the 11th.

For all you voyeurs out there, see sunbather from space.

2. Not all of Google Earth's data comes from satellites

But your point is still valid. US Intelligence and BushCo knew exactly what WMD's Saddam did or did not have.

3. Thanks for the post KansDem

4. The government gets the good stuff.

I used to work for them. They can tell if the bather needs a wax.

I raved for months that we not only knew about Iraq's WMD's with precision, but knew Saddam's brand of underwear.

5. I have always had a

suspicion that there is more than one Hubble up there.
Only they are not being pointed into space.
Telescopes that can see to the edge of the universe should be capable of picking up good photographic evidence that they could have used in their claims of wmd's.
