The weapons include motorised underwater mines capable of creeping along the sea bed and then surfacing beneath a battleship or carrier.

Each mine is filled with chemicals that upon explosion can envelop the ship in a deadly cloud of poison.

The documents show that the mines and other weapons of mass destruction have been secretly developed at sites the UN inspectors have also not visited.

These are:

Al-Qaqa's State Establishment. Sixty miles south of Baghdad, it has produced what the documents describe as "self-detonating precise guided missiles".

Blah..blah..blah...blah...blah.....

I don't believe a word of this crap. Iraq may have chemical and biological weapons, but they don't have a delivery system any more complicated than an aerosol can, much less an automated submarine that is going to creep up under an aircraft carrier and "envelop the ship in a deadly cloud of poison."

Obviously, they've never heard of washdown systems...

Using chemical weapons against ships is at best a waste of time, and at worst will only tick us off even more.
