Senator Bill Nelson - Whistle Blower or VP Candidate?
Wednesday, December 17, 2003 By: Juan Paxety
Could Iraqi WMDs have struck the US?
Senator Bill Nelson (D-Fla) now says that he was told Saddam Hussein's WMDs could reach eastern US cities.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson said Monday the Bush administration last year told him and other senators that Iraq not only had weapons of mass destruction, but they had the means to deliver them to East Coast cities.
Nelson, D-Tallahassee, said about 75 senators got that news during a classified briefing before last October's congressional vote authorizing the use of force to remove Saddam Hussein from power. Nelson voted in favor of using military force.
Nelson said he couldn't reveal who in the administration gave the briefing.
Is this a true sign of exaggeration by the administration - a threat most of us did not know about - or something else?
Unfortunately, because Bill Nelson is a Democrat with Vice Presidential aspirations, we can't be sure if he's a whistle blower, or is trying to climb aboard the eight dwarfs whacko bandwagon.
