  David Kay Fringe Reviews
David Kay attempts completely deadpan delivery, and it took great effort from the surreal stand up to keep schtum as there was an extreme laughter in the small audience - you know the kind, they make a booming guffaw look polite and are usually blonde.
By fixating on scones, David Kay perhaps does his sense of the surreal and his oblique observations about Scottish culture a disservice, because he actually possesses the ability to transcend the parochial boundaries.
According to Kay, the earth is currently in a trajectory of a giant scone and in 17 years time, scone and planet will collide, destrying life as we know it.

DAVID KAY: You have to realise it was not a Eureka moment with me hopping out of a bathtub saying I've concluded that; (a) there were no bathtubs in Iraq, but it was a gradual process, which really started almost from the time I was appointed and got access to classified information.
DAVID KAY: I had contentious disagreements with the British about what should be in the report and what should not be in the report and interpretations of it.
DAVID KAY: Well, first of all, if you mean to target actual - putting weapons steel on target, I think we'll discover that we don't know all the targets, and so you will be surprised that you'll destroy less of the Iranian capability than you had thought you had.

 David Kay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In testimony on the progress of the Iraq Survey Group on October 2, 2003 he revealed to House and Senate committees that the ISG had found that Iraq had a network of clandestine laboratories containing equipment that should have been (but was not) disclosed to the UN inspectors.
Kay told the commitees that between 1999 and 2002 Iraq attempted to obtain missile technology from North Korea that would allow them to build missiles with a range of 1300 kilometers, far beyond the UN limit of 150 kilometers that Iraq agreed upon in UN Resolution 687.
After the interview, Kay told National Public Radio that Iraq "had a large number of WMD program-related activities." He said "So there was a WMD program.

 David Kay Says Iraq's WMD 'Program' Didn't Exist Either
Kay said the fundamental errors in prewar intelligence assessments were so grave that he would recommend that the Central Intelligence Agency and other organizations overhaul their intelligence collection and analytical efforts.
Kay added that there was now a consensus within the United States intelligence community that mobile trailers found in Iraq and initially thought to be laboratories for biological weapons were actually designed to produce hydrogen for weather balloons, or perhaps to produce rocket fuel.
Kay said he was convinced that the analysts were not pressed by the Bush administration to make certain their prewar intelligence reports conformed to a White House agenda on Iraq.

 Online NewsHour: Newsmaker Interview: David Kay -- January 29, 2004
DAVID KAY: Well, I think, first of all, because that were the estimates -- not just the estimates by the CIA or the Defense Intelligence Agency, we were going in against the background in which the U.N. had spoken of large numbers of missing material that could have been weaponized.
DAVID KAY: Well, there were on paper very specific things with regard to the reports of movement in the weapons, a protection of weapons, of weapons being assigned to specific units as well as specific locations on paper.
DAVID KAY: I think part of it, Jim, is because we got in the habit of believing that the Iraqis always lied because they did lie and cheat to a large extent in the early '90s; made it hard to accept pieces of information that the Iraqis provided that showed they didn't have it.

Kay did make it clear, however, that the CIA as well as other US intelligence agencies, UN weapons inspectors, and the intelligence services of many other countries had all come to the same mistaken conclusion.
Kay's answer to the question of why there had been such a stunning intelligence failure is that the CIA was too dependent on technical intelligence gathering after 1998, when UN weapons inspectors left Iraq.
Kay described a system in which scientists went directly to Saddam for funds, which he granted on the understanding they would be used to produce weapons of mass destruction.

 Boston.com / News / Local / Mass. / Kay implores US to admit mistakes in Iraq
Kay's comments came as the White House sought to fend off accusations from its former antiterrorism chief, Richard Clarke, who said President Bush ignored the Al Qaeda threat before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and focused on Iraq, rather than on the Islamic militant group, afterward.
Kay resigned in January, saying that he believed no such weapons existed and that the failure to find them raised serious questions about the quality of prewar intelligence.
Kay, who had a role in United Nations weapons probes in Iraq in the early 1990s, said US intelligence there was poor in the decade before the war, relying entirely on international inspectors, Iraqi defectors, or intelligence from allies such as France and Britain.

Kay: I certainly think it’s important to continue the search for reasons of the procurement network, if nothing else, and I think all of us recognize that, since Iraq had weapons pre-1991, it is possible that their efforts to destroy them were less than 100 percent complete.
Kay: Well, when you get there, when you’re on the inside and you have freedom to look at both what went on, as well as to interview the Iraqis who were involved, it’s hard not to come away with the impression that they greatly feared [UN Special Commission (UNSCOM)][1] inspections and monitoring.

When the president needed someone to hawk his "Iraq's weapons of mass destruction are an imminent threat to homeland security" thesis to the American people, David Kay was the man. During the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, Kay was a ubiquitous presence on the cable news networks, backing the president's assertions.

 David Kay comes clean, almost. - By Fred Kaplan - Slate Magazine
David Kay's remarks over the weekend—that Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction before the war and that U.S. intelligence agencies missed the signs that would have told them as much—held few surprises for anyone who'd closely read his official report on the matter last October.
Kay is changing his opinions based upon new evidence, not exactly something I was taught to avoid), but he leaves out damned near every bit of qualification Kay makes to his claims that could possibly contradict his (Kaplan's) thesis, and that reeks of shoddy journalism.
Kay spends a lot of time speaking of stockpiles, the only thing on which there was much certainty (they had some, but were destroyed in Gulf War I), but doesn't mention much at all of small-scale development, precisely due to the complete inability to make a definitive statement one way or the other.
