Sammy hiding weapons in anticipation of inspectors...
Thanks to Steve for this one... My e-mail's working again...Iraq is secreting its reserves of chemical and biological weapons in anticipation of a U.N. arms inspection, Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke said Friday. Clarke, who declined to elaborate on Iraq's activities, said experts would reveal more on the issue at a Pentagon briefing next week. With U.N. arms inspections likely to begin within weeks, the Pentagon is preparing to detail Iraq's efforts to dupe the world. "Lies, deception and deceit are an active part of their offensive," Clarke said. "They lie to their own people and they lie to the world. And people should consider that fact very, very carefully as they weigh their decisions on who to deal with Iraq ... There's a very, very high threshold to overcome with their credibility." If you ask them if they've had breakfast and they say "yes," go ahead and put the coffee and the bacon on. Iraq's regime lies even when it's in its interests not to. It's habit. Maybe it's reflex...
