The President told us so 5 months ago.

History Channel tonight, just five minutes ago, said a 1999 U.S. bombing run ripped off the roof of an Iraqi hangar and revealed a fleet of drones already equipped with tanks for spraying chemicals. Five years ago.

Our recent presidents have shown little appreciation for truth.

No need for a drone -- a private plane operated by a licensed pilot with a sprayer could do the same thing. Read the chilling, very realistic scenario published here:

If It Happened Here (mine: freerepublic.com mentioned in HYPOTHETICAL story about LA Anthrax attack)

My experience is mainly with marine radar, but even a cheapie radar set should be able to pick these things up. A small boat radar easily picks up lobster pots and buoys. I doubt whether these drones are sophisticated enough to escape observation.

The Dems and the anti-war activists have told us Iraq is not a threat to us. How can this be?

Was there not a report just a few weeks ago that the US suspected drone planes would be brought to the U.S. in parts and then reassembled here?

I am positive we heard about that scenario.

The media is most definitely not reporting and then repeating what the president or Colin Powell have been reporting for weeks now. How often do the media remind us that Iraqi scientists and their families are threatened with death if they cooperate with inspectors. Did ANY media report on Powell's revelation that Iraq was recently shopping for tubes in a European country? I and two other posters made note of it in his remarks on the live thread and I have seen no mention of it since.

When the UN isn't hiding details, they are calling the the U.S. liars about the evidence being presented.
