POWELL’S PIX WILL BULLDOZE IRAQI DENIALS
By NILES LATHEM

---

January 31, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Colin Powell next week will show the U.N. Security Council dramatic photographs of Iraqi agents carrying truckloads of documents and bulldozing suspected chemical-weapons facilities hours before the arrival of U.N. weapons inspectors, it was revealed last night.

Powell also will unveil secret photos of tractor-trailers with abnormally large vents. The trucks are suspected to be Iraq’s mobile bio-weapons labs.

The photos will be part of a multimedia presentation to make the administration’s case for war, U.S. officials told The Post.

Powell will use slides and charts, as well as information from defectors and moles, to help him make the case that Saddam Hussein’s regime is pressuring scientists not to cooperate with inspectors.

The information also will demonstrate that Saddam is actively importing chemicals, metal tubes and other materials that could be used to produce weapons of mass destruction, officials said.

CBS News last night reported that Powell may release intercepts that reveal Iraqi officials told workers at weapons plants to clean up before inspectors get there - and what to tell them.

Administration officials described the intelligence information to be unveiled in Powell’s presentation Wednesday as similar but more detailed than the allegations made by President Bush in his State of the Union Address.

Well they asked for pictures and they're getting pictures

Let's see if anybody in the media finally starts doing stories on the obvious blackmail/spying/leaking that's going on inside the weapons-inspection teams.

The only reason Iraq is able to clean up those sites shortly before they're inspected is that they know what the inspectors are planning. This article, along with a similar piece in USA Today recently, proves that the inspections are a sham and that war is inevitable. France, Germany and Nelson Mandela can all go to hell with Saddam. The United States will do what's right.

I just hope Saddam isn't moving them to schools, hospitals, etc. in the mean time.

Thanks for putting this up, kattaracks.

GREAT! Now maybe the peace weenies will shut up and listen. (I won't bet the farm on that possibility, however, since their intelligence seems to be sub-normal.) Hopefully, at least, the UN will now wake up and take notice.
