Something Seems a Bit Odd Here

[Ed: No, I don't mean just in my office, but that's pretty odd, too.]

Someone posted a link on Max's site, under comments from the link I provided in the previous post, which seems really odd. First, I can't say I've heard of the World Tribune. Second, the site doesn't look highly professional and third, they link the the Sludge Drudge Report and the Washington Times.

When you look at the start of the article there (no byline), it's even stanger:

The United Nations has determined that Saddam Hussein shipped weapons of mass destruction components as well as medium-range ballistic missiles before, during and after the U.S.-led war against Iraq in 2003.

The UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission briefed the Security Council on new findings that could help trace the whereabouts of Saddam's missile and WMD program.

The briefing contained satellite photographs that demonstrated the speed with which Saddam dismantled his missile and WMD sites before and during the war. Council members were shown photographs of a ballistic missile site outside Baghdad in May 2003, and then saw a satellite image of the same location in February 2004, in which facilities had disappeared.
Somebody put the Twilight Zone theme CD on!

Ed. Update: The only other place (I could locate) besides the odd World Tribune to reference this story like it's a fact from the same God who regularly talks to President Bush (I wonder if he listens to God any better than he does the American people) is Matt Drudge, who simply links you back to the weird little piece at the World Tribune. And we all know how credible Matt in the Hat is (NOT!).
