Booby, your buddies, the UN inspectors, say Saddam shipped out WMD before
war and after
Friday, June 11, 2004
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. UNMOVIC
acting executive chairman Demetrius Perricos told the council on June 9 that
"the only controls at the borders are for the weight of the scrap metal, and
to check whether there are any explosive or radioactive materials within the
scrap," Middle East Newsline reported.

"It's being exported," Perricos said after the briefing. "It's being traded
out. And there is a large variety of scrap metal from very new to very old,
and slowly, it seems the country is depleted of metal."

"The removal of these materials from Iraq raises concerns with regard to
proliferation risks," Perricos told the council. Perricos also reported that
inspectors found Iraqi WMD and missile components shipped abroad that still
contained UN inspection tags.

He said the Iraqi facilities were dismantled and sent both to Europe and
around the Middle East. at the rate of about 1,000 tons of metal a month.
Destionations included Jordan, the Netherlands and Turkey.

Oh...then I guess Reagan was not a racist, Whisker poles can't be
over 12 feet for a 32 foot boat and there ARE WMD's in Iraq.
Jeff, as usual you missed the point of the response to Joe.
If you like Reagan or think the monster deserves respect, that's your
problem and ignorance.
Respect for the dead? Are 9 years old? Save your respect for someone
you KNOW deserves it.
