"...taking live HIV and black fever virus among other potentially lethal materials. US troops were stationed across the street but did not intervene because they didn't know the building was important. When he found out, the young American lieutenant was devastated. He shook his head and said, 'I hope I am not responsible for Armageddon.' "

"...There was nothing secret about the Disease Center or the Tuwaitha warehouses. Inspectors had repeatedly visited the center looking for evidence of a biological weapons program. The Tuwaitha warehouses included materials from Iraq's nuclear program, which had been dismantled after the 1991 Gulf War. The United Nations had sealed the materials, and they remained untouched until the US troops arrived."

"...This is apparently what happened. According to an International Atomic Energy Agency report issued earlier this month, there was 'widespread and apparently systematic dismantlement that has taken place at sites previously relevant to Iraq's nuclear program.' This includes nearly 380 tons of high explosives suitable for detonating nuclear weapons or killing American troops. Some of the looting continued for many months -- possibly into 2004. Using heavy machinery, organized gangs took apart, according to the IAEA, 'entire buildings that housed high-precision equipment.' "

"This equipment could be anywhere. But one good bet is Iran, which has had allies and agents in Iraq since shortly after the US-led forces arrived."

I guess we all know what 'catastrophic success' means now... Iran standing stronger then before, their influence in Iraq much increased, and their nuclear weapons program given a bonanza by the administration.
