>>> “We know … that prior to our going in that [Saddam] had spent time and effort acquiring mobile biological weapons labs,” Cheney said, reiterating a long-discredited claim that military trailers found in Iraq were mobile bio-weapons labs.

Of course, the Brits knew this since it was Britain who, in fact, sold this balloon equipment to Iraq. But Bush--whose dad was a former president and former CIA director--and Cheney--who was the former DOD top dog--didn't? I guess Bush and Cheney only wanted, for political purposes, to feed Americans yet another dose of saspisash.
