Sorry, I don't buy it -- they have duel use equipment -- if they could get the materials, they'd make the nasties.

They were buried...WHY?

[konaice]

Yes, I agree, why the hell else would these be burried in the desert. Somethings going on here, and the Embedded reporters are failing to even get a single image of these things to us. Whats up wid dat???

And there is still, of course, the question of why they'd let us grind them into the dust over weapons that they didn't have. It would have wounded their pride to let inspectors have free run of the place, but so what? Better to be embarrassed but still alive and in power than extruded through the cracks in a cinder-block wall by a JDAM.

I don't buy it either. To begin with, why were the labs buried? It sure as heck looks like the Iraqis were trying to hide something to me...

Plus, there is not a catogorical denial from the Pentagon, just another "we don't know," "doesn't appear to be WMD" and "can't confirm as of yet" from an "official" that some anti-war reporter is twisting to make it sound like there are absolutely no WMD or equipment that could be used in WMD at this particular site (or in Iraq, for that matter) so Bush is toast because he lied about Iraq having WMD, the war is a failure, etc.

The jury (and final professional opinion based on records, testing and interviews with Iraqi scientists & officials) is still way, way out on a lot of these sites...
