A trailer found by the U.S. in Northern Iraq last year likely was used by Saddam Hussein's regime as a mobile biological weapons laboratory, and not to fill hydrogen balloons as some in Britain and the U.S. have charged, a view supported by exclusive photos obtained by WorldNetDaily that for the first time offer inside views of the trailer components.

Anyone who knows about chemicals got any idea why something that fills up weather balloons would need such a cleansing with a caustic cleansing agent?
Is this a reliable source?
What does ISG report say about it?
Even if this is true, if the authoritative Iraqi Survey Group says it was not WMDs, you'll not convince anybody.
i have seen pics of this before last year on fox news (go figure) this is nothing new. the media just tries to put a blanket over it.
Don't ya know that contries spend millions on portable generators to fill balloons? Ya know that the gases can't be carried in pressure bottles! Lord knows they need the stuff in iraq, since they are a heavy consumer of balloons!
(he-yuck)
A bio lab could fit in a Ford Pinto, but that would be taking a hugh chance on losing the investment.
No its an ice cream truck that Saddam sent to poor neighborhoods to give children free treats. CBS has the documents proving this. </sarcasm
A cammoed hydrogen ballon lab on wheels? With Saddam's defense co stamped on it?
This administration (and all good conservatives) are being held to the highest degree of certainty by the MSM.
Kerry gets a pass on his crimes against his country. Berger gets a pass stealing from the LoC. Hillary...don't cross her...she might have you commit suicide.
I've released a number of them, they use Helium only.
NBC and the krauts, figures. It was very curious at the time how adamantly the left wanted to dismiss this thing as having anything to do with WMDs. This was the cleanest most disinfected thing that has ever been seen in Iraq.
That part's not a good argument. Most everything in the U.S. Army that may be outside is camo'd, no matter how trivial. Even MRE packaging is colored.
The trailer, as I understand, was sold to them as a bio truck by the Germans - that's why we had drawings that perfectly matched the layout.
That's a U.S. thing. Many countries use Hydrogen. The U.S. has lots of access to helium, which many other countries don't have - it's one of our natural resources.
True, I thought about that as I hit the send button.
Hydrogen has more lifting power too.
