| Blair Releases "Proof" For War On Iraq |
| 2002-09-24 |
| Iraq has âmilitary plansâ for the use of chemical and biological weapons, Britain said in a dossier of evidence released Tuesday about Iraqâs development of weapons of mass destruction. The Dossier says President Saddam Hussein directly controls chemical and biological weapons and has tried to acquire âsignificant quantitiesâ of uranium from Africa. The dossier says there is no doubt that Iraq continues to develop chemical and biological weapons, is trying to acquire nuclear weapons and has extended the range of its ballistic missiles. The report said some of the weapons could be used within 45 minutes of an order being issued by Iraqi commanders. Kinda of a summary of what they've been saying for the past few months... The report included a map which showed that Iraqi weapons now being developed could reach Israel, the whole of the Middle East, Greece and Turkey. If U.N. sanctions against Iraq were lifted, Saddam could develop a nuclear weapon within 12 months to two years, said the dossier, which was based on intelligence assessments. A report published earlier this month by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies said Iraq retains substantial chemical and biological weapons and could assemble a nuclear weapon within months if it obtained radioactive material. They should push that part about the missles being able to reach Europe a little harder. When I left for work this morning, Blair had been speaking to Parliament for two hours. Sure hope he's convincing somebody... |
