IRAQ: The WMD Threat in 2001 milnet.com Iraq continues to give non-proliferation groups ulcers. Simply put, no one has any illusion that Suddam Hussein's regime in Iraq has put any limits on their development and manufacture of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Given production rates of a decade ago, and the fact that there have not been on the ground inspectors since December of 1998, it is pretty well assured Iraq is only a few years from completing the development and fueling of a nuclear weapon. Moreover the Iraqi biological and chemical weapons programs are most likely in full production today, producing toxins and agents for sale to anyone with the right targets in mind -- in essence, anyone who would like to deploy these weapons against what Iraq's Suddam Hussein feels are the true evils of our world -- the countries U.S. and U.K., but also any other non-Islamic state that Iraq feels it has a grudge with. With Suddam's and the terrorist's targets lining up so well, it is not hard to conclude that Iraq poses an immediate, clear and present danger to the security of the U.S. and the world.
