Virtually all agencies concerned with Iraq's WMD programs have reached the conclusion that Saddam was an expert at delay, dispersion, and deception. His nuclear program had restarted as reported earlier this year by Dr. Kay, the previous head of the ISG. Also, 'seed agents' and other bio—toxins had been dispersed throughout Baghdad and Iraq to form the basis for the regeneration of a full—fledged BW program. This modus operandi was no different for the regeneration of Saddam's chemical weapons program. Operating under the guise of legitimate industrial and agricultural chemical production and storage, Iraq would have gone into full—scale conversion of its stockpile of chemical precursors into weaponized agents, had the Coalition not attacked and seized Iraq.
I’ve loaned her a book called “The Cobra Event,” by Richard Preston. Although he wrote it in 1997, it’s frighteningly accurate in the WMD that Hussein (and Russia) had/have.
Part of the book is factual, part is fiction based on fact, and some of it is possibility. It’s an eye-opener. I hope it works.
She can’t seem to get beyond “Reading Lolita in Teheran.”
In the mean time, I’ll email her that URL. Thanks!
