This is buried in the middle of the article, but was mentioned on FoxNews. When I searched, I found that no other news even picked this up.
Note that Saddam was pursuing this even as late as March 2003!

"But Spertzel believes Saddam was cooking up an even more sinister plan putting the poisons on department store shelves across the United States and Europe. He said that plan was "actively pursued" as late as March 2003. And that plan was at least, in part, funded by Saddam's corrupt Oil-for-Food activities. "

I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked!!! Saddam had it in for the US? (I'm also available to buy a bridge, too)

Sarin in perfume bottles? What an idiot that I didn't finish the novel five years ago.

If that were released in a closed [area], such as Madison Square Garden or, even some, some of your smaller closed malls, shopping malls, it would have a devastating effect; killing hundreds or thousands," Spertzel said.
I keep finding statements like this incredible.
Wasn't Sarin released in a most populated, confined subway system in Japan ? 12 people died and approx. 6000 were injured.

Yeah, but he was no threat. It should be apparent that Iraq is nowhere near being a useless war with no reason to have taken out the regime. I see the media doesn't want to discuss any of this because to them Bush just made up all the WMD claims. Iraq was never a threat, just one made up by the administration. The Demonrat party doesn't have to answer to their own statements when they call Bush a liar.

Just repeat after me: "Saddam did not have WMD, Saddam was not involved in terrorism". (Dem Mantra)
Obviously putting sarin in perfume bottles and releasing them in the US is not an act of terror and sarin doesn't count as a WMD. (more Dem view)
If the MSM journalists had any claim to journalism and any honesty, they would have read through the report carefully and would have written about it. Do you recall the headlines, that the report proved that Saddam had no WMD and was not pursuing terrorism? The exact opposite of what the report really said.
To: NonValueAdded
'This story is part of a special FOX News investigation into the Oil-for-Food scandal. For the complete report, watch the FOX News Channel on Sunday at 9 p.m. EST for a special "Breaking Point" "United Nations Blood Money: Kofi Annan Under Fire."'I was surprised to see this story come out now... now I think I understand.

This is yet more support for the thesis that, in addition to being the biggest case in History of institutionalized corruption, Oil For Food was also the primary source of funding for Saddam's plans for WMD and his ability to re-arm in the face of sanctions, thereby setting the stage for the Insurgency that is costing countless US, Allied and Iraqi lives.
If true, from this the numerous co-conspirators in Oil For Food are guilty of far more than simple corruption and this fact makes the case for far more aggressive actions to root out and punish those involved.

What I would like to know, why didn't this story come out right after the report came out?
What else is in that report about Saddam's WMD, that we don't know about?
To: FairOpinion
and we'll see this all on MSM when?
What's that you say - when h*ll freezes over?
And we'll cut off payment to the UN when?

The entire UN leadership who had anything to do with Oil-for-Food should be put on trial for supporting terrorism -- that is exactly what they were doing, by knowingly (there is no way they didn't know) allowing Saddam to divert billions.

Isn't David Asman from FNC suppose to do a show tonight about this??

"Sarin, a colorless and odorless gas, has a lethal dose of 0.5 milligram for an adult. It is 26 times more deadly than cyanide gas and is 20 times more lethal than potassium cyanide. Just 0.01 milligram per kilogram of body weight a pinprick sized droplet will kill a human. The vapor is slightly heavier than air, so it hovers close to the ground. Under wet and humid weather conditions sarin degrades swiftly, but as the temperature rises up to a certain point, sarins lethal duration increases, despite the humidity."More info here

I think the Oil for Food scandal will be on at FoxNews on Sunday, 9 pm EST.
But FoxNews mentioned this today in one of their news segments. That's what sent me searching for an article on the web, so I can post it.

Does this mean that the involvement of the French and Germans as arms dealers to Saddam will come to light? Will the UN FINALLY BE SHOWN TO BE THE WORTHLESS PILE OF CORRUPTION THAT IT IS? Can we Finlay toss the F*CKERS out?
Please God let this HAPPEN!!!!
