Kucinich: Bush Administration Must Stop Misleading American People About Iraq’s WMD
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 7, 2004

The Dennis Kucinich for President campaign is demanding that the Bush administration remove information from its web site that has been proven to be completely false. The official web page for the White House, www.whitehouse.org, contains a page titled ‘Disarm Saddam Hussein.’ This page states that the nation of Iraq is currently in possession of, or is seeking possession of:
26,000 liters of anthrax;
38,000 liters of botulinum toxin;
500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agents - 500 tons amounts to 1,000,000 pounds;
Nearly 30,000 munitions to deliver these agents;
Al Qaeda connections to the Hussein regime;
Uranium from the nation of Niger for use in a nuclear weapons program.
The page in question is here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/response/disarm.html
The Bush administration’s hand-picked weapons inspector, Dr. David Kay, has stated in testimony before the Senate that there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The data described above, especially the overwhelmingly debunked claim that Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger for a nuclear weapons program, does not belong on the official White House web site.
To this day, the Bush administration is pushing information on the threat posed by Saddam Hussein that has no basis in evidence. The data must be removed immediately, and the Bush administration must cease its continued attempts to mislead the American people.
