A reminder of the days when George W Bush, Colin Powell and others
faked away like mad, fictioning up Iraq's "Weapons of Mass Destruction";
Anthrax, Botulinum toxin, Sarin, aloominum toobs for nukular weapons etc.

Disarm Saddam Hussein

The gravest danger we face in the war on terror is outlaw regimes that
seek and possess nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

* Twelve years ago, Saddam Hussein agreed to disarm all weapons of
  mass destruction. For 12 years, he systematically violated that
  agreement.

* Three months ago, the United Nations Security Council gave Saddam his 
  final chance to disarm. He has shown his utter contempt for the U.N.

* The U.N. and U.S. intelligence sources have known for some time that 
  Saddam Hussein has materials to produce chemical and biological
  weapons, but he has not accounted for them:

  o 26,000 liters of anthraxuenough to kill several million people
  o 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin
  o 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agents 

* Almost 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents

* From three Iraqi defectors, we know that Iraq in the late 1990s had 
  several mobile biological weapons labs. But he has not disclosed them.

* The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that 
  Saddam Hussein had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, 
  a design for a nuclear weapon, and was working on methods of
  enriching uranium for a nuclear bomb. He recently sought significant
  quantities of uranium from Africa, according to the British
  Government. He has attempted to purchase high strength aluminum tubes
  suitable for nuclear weapons, according to our intelligence sources.
  Yet he has not credibly explained these activities.

* Thousands of Iraqi security personnel are at work hiding documents and 
  materials from the UN inspectors.

* Iraqi officials accompany all inspectors in order to intimidate witnesses.

* Iraq is blocking U-2 surveillance flights requested by the U.N.

* Saddam Hussein has ordered that scientists who cooperate with the UN be 
  killed, along with their families.

* Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including al-Qaida members. 
  He could provide hidden weapons to terrorists, or help them develop their 
  own. It would take just one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this 
  country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known. 

The United States will ask the UN Security Council to convene next week to 
consider the facts of Iraq's ongoing defiance of the world. We will consult. 
But if Saddam Hussein does not disarm, we will act for the safety of our 
people, and for the peace of the world.
