| It's a Baby Milk Factory! |

| This just in from ace correspondent D.J. Wu... Iraq has denied US reports that a warehouse for foodstuffs just north of Baghdad was secretly producing biological weapons. Iraqi authorities organised a visit for journalists accredited in Baghdad to the facility, around 30 kilometres (20 miles) northwest of the capital, to see for themselves. Trade Minister Mohammad Mehdi Saleh explained on site that the facility in question was indeed a warehouse used by his ministry to stock foodstuffs. There's a big sign, right out front, in English. It says "Baby Milk Factory," plain as day... The Washington Times daily reported on August 14 that a US spy satellite had photographed some 60 trucks moving about at a facility once called the Al-Taji Single Cell Protein Plant, which the Iraqis converted into a biological weapons facility that was bombed during the 1991 Gulf War. According the Saleh, the trucks photographed by the US satellite had been loaded at the warehouse with "children's milk and food" which was then transported to distribution centres throughout Iraq. Oh, yasss... It's for The Children™, you meanies... "Since August 4, 2,500 tonnes of milk and foodstuffs for children have been transported from this warehouse," he said. "The Americans saw the operation by satellite and confirmed having seen 64 trucks. In fact, since August 4, 187 trucks and not 64 have taken goods to Iraqi provinces. If the satellite images were enlarged, the children's milk cartons transported by the trucks, which were not covered, would appear identical to the cartons that you see here." Wonder why they didn't cover them? Usually milk cartons are shipped in boxes... Y'don't suppose they were meant to be seen? |
