May 11 — Military teams searching for biological and chemical weapons in Iraq found three trailers believed to be mobile biological weapons laboratories capable of producing deadly germs for weapons, NBC News reported.

Iraq’s failure to disclose the site showed that the ousted regime had violated U.N. disarmament demands.
“The failure to disclose such equipment is a clear violation of United Nations sanctions and an indication of ill intent,” the Times quoted the team leader as saying.

It may turn out that our intervention in Iraq will actually increase the probability of WMD spread.

Yep. And the US media have been terribly silent about that. The first hint of a serious discussion that I've read was in the WashPost piece today.

So Kyros....Do you think there are WMD right now in Iraq or not?

Were there WMD in Iraq before the coalition came in?

Did Saddam destroy everything before the Americans came in?
Or did he hide them in the tunnels?

Or ship them to other countries (as in maybe Syria....maybe even France...)

Or are they still there....in hundreds of thousands of square miles of mostly sand....and bunkers....and mountains...and houses....and mosques....
