Banned weapons equipment 'missing from 109 Iraq sites'
Ireland Online ^ | 03/06/2005

Posted on 06/03/2005 10:42:32 AM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

United Nations experts say equipment and material that could be used to make biological or chemical weapons and banned long-range missiles has been removed from 109 sites in Iraq.

UN inspectors have been blocked from returning to Iraq since the US-led war in 2003 so they have been using satellite photos to see what happened to the sites that were subject to UN monitoring because their equipment had both civilian and military uses.

In a report to the UN Security Council obtained yesterday, acting chief weapons inspector Demetrius Perricos said imagery analysts had identified 109 sites that had been emptied of equipment to varying degrees, up from 90 reported in March.

They had the banned equipment before they didn't have it.

Refute this if you can.
If the equipment is now 'missing', how could it be 'missing' now if it was supposedly never there to begin with?

If I'm recalling correctly the US Satellites had picked up movement of large trucks into Syria right before the war also.

But...but how can they be missing if they never existed? I can't wait to hear a liberals answer to this question. They will lie through their teeth, and rationalize it into a nice little package they can pitch to the sheep, but regular people see exactly what is going on, and we have to look no further back than the 2004 election for vindication of this fact. It must suck when you have controlled what is reported for so long, and now have large groups of people turning you off.

The U.S. tried to remove 500 tons of Uranium but the UN's IAEA blocked us...

"May 22, 2004

VIENNA – The United States has informed an international agency that oversees nuclear materials that it intends to move hundreds of tons of uranium from a sealed repository south of Baghdad to a more secure location outside Iraq, Western diplomats close to the agency say.

However, the International Atomic Energy Agency has taken the position that the uranium is Iraqi property and the agency "cannot give them permission to remove it," a diplomat said.

So, what's the big deal? According to the UN, it belongs to the Iraqi people. /sarc


500 Tons of Uranium in Iraq!

Just a theory,

The UN finally admits that they had no accountability of these "duel use" materials even while their inspectors was there and they failed their job but this is to distract away from Oil For Food.

What's weird is that this is old news. There have been reports of missing WMD-related equipment that had previously been inventoried by the UN inspectors since the Iraq war in '03, including reports of radioactive scrap metal in Europe. Most telling was the thwarted attack on the US embassy in Jordan using a massive chemical weapon back in April of 2004. The captured ringleader admitted that he'd been trained in WMD use in Iraq by Abu Massab al-Zarqawi; that he'd received the funds to run the operation as well as the chemical bomb itself from Iraq, of course, prior to the fall of Saddam.

Nope, just time to change the definition of WMD again.

WMD = "Whatever isn't in Iraq"

Well, well, well. It seems there might have been banned weapons after all--as we knew from articles that appeared during the war.
