There is no disagreement, FROM ANYONE, that Iraq has 2,000,000 tons of chemical agents, tens of thousands of liters of biological weapons. FROM ANYONE? You really think so, you stupid %#!$%&*#&?You don't know what you know. Below is a link [first of two] from one of your party faithful. They push the case as hard as they can against Iraq, and the best they can come up with is that what they "know" is that the UN inspectors "believe" Iraq may have more weapons of mass destruction. Do you understand, O Wise One? No one knows for sure.......that's why the inspectors are back in Iraq. Why are you and Bush afraid to let the process run to its conclusion? avot.org We know that UN weapons inspectors supervised the destruction of much of Iraq's arsenal, including 40,000 chemical munitions, nearly half a million liters of chemical agents, almost two million liters of chemical precursors, and eight different types of delivery systems - including ballistic missile warheads. And we know that UN officials believe** Baghdad has stockpiled far greater amounts of chemical and biological agents than it destroyed.

There is no disgreement, FROM ANYONE, that Iraq has 2,000,000 tons of bla, bla, bla.............. Once again here is a link that contains speculation that Iraq may have more WMD but no proof. The link is to an official gov't document. What I suspect is that most DC insiders know that Saddam has little WMD left; however, Bush has made it a cause celebre to take Saddam out. The problem is that the whole mess has gone farther than Bush anticipated........he must have thought everyone would fall in behind him. Wrong again! And as for you, stop trying to manipulate and deceive on this thread.......its getting very old! ____________________________________________________ From a Foreign Affairs report to Congress: fas.org The United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) has destroyed large amounts of CB weapons and materials in Iraq since 1991. UNSCOM has reported no firm evidence that Iraq still retains weapons or material, but the Iraqi government has not provided adequate evidence to support its claim all its CBW arsenal has been destroyed, nor has it accounted for CBW production materials known to have been in its possession. These factors, coupled with Iraqi obstruction of UNSCOM inspections has led to strong suspicions. U.S. and British intelligence agencies believe that Iraq still may possess tons of chemical warfare agents and the necessary materials to produce thousands of liters of biological agents. In addition, UNSCOM an U.S. intelligence believe Iraq may still have hidden from 2-10 warheads designed to deliver chemical or biological agents. UNSCOM and U.S. intelligence differ in their estimates of the number of missiles that may still be in Iraq. The Iraqi chemical warfare arsenal has included nerve agents (Sarin and VX), blister agents ("mustard gas"), and psychoactive agents (so-called Agent 15). Biological/toxin warfare agents produced by Iraq include anthrax, botulinum, aflotoxins, ebola virus, bubonic and pneumonic plague, ricin, and clostrdium perfringens. Reconstitution of militarily significant production capability using materials unaccounted for to UNSCOM could take only a matter of weeks. During the week of February 23, the Senate is scheduled to consider S.Con.Res. 71, calling on the President to take all necessary and appropriate actions in response to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its lethal weapons program.
