Iraq Admits to Mobile Bioweapons Labs

Iraq's Government yesterday gave UNMOVIC photographs and videos showing the mobile laboratories that are in use in Iraq. Der Spiegel (link has translation) and the UN News Centre both have reports.

You know, the weapons the anti-liberation crowd and Scott Ritter keep saying don't exist.

It's too little, too late. "Cheat and Retreat" is about to change to "Retreat and Surrender," and this revelation is exactly why that's necessary. All it does is confirm the utter lunacy of relying on U.N. inspectors to address the threat of Saddam and his weapons in any meaningful way.

As a related aside, todays "Winds of War" briefing on Winds of Change.NET also links to reports that Saddam is arming his troops near Baghdad with chemical weapons, then brings in other sources listing and describing the chemical weapons he has.

Let's roll!

This guy on Fox News right now - Naji Sabri, Iraqi Foreign Minister - looks like Inspector Closeau.

He's calling our good guys some bad names.

[VRWC_minion]

Did the units say "Made In France, where treachery is Job 1" ?

Interesting that Blix never passed this on when the UN still had time.

A day late and a dinar short.

He said those were food labs I think.

[Semper Paratus]

You mean the mobil food tasting kiosks?

[Petronski]

But I'm confused!

The lefties at CANSWER and DUh assured us Powell's intel was fraudulent. Could they be wrong?

[adam_az]

any mainstream news carrying this yet or is it just the blogosphere echo chamber?

tighten that rubber band chinstrap for your tinfoil hats... there's going to be a lot of uncorroborated "news"!!

[CheneyChick]

Separated at birth?

P.S. That's not my dog.

[illumini]

How much did Scott Ritter have to pay for a 14-year-old in Iraq? - Oughta be "life"!

[adam_az]

"That's not as mobile weapons lab! It's the Allah Sna'Ackbar!!!" -Naji SOB-ri

[johnb838]

Oy tought you sayed yoore dog eh... dizzent bahte?

Now he's passing out photos as a threat.

[Don Corleone]

Sadaam is Lying again. He said that he didn't have such devices and Hollywood the French and Blix confirmed it. Who are we to believe anyway?

[savedbygrace]

Wait! That's Ken Starr with a mustache.

[areafiftyone]

Yes the "Curry in a Hurry" Trucks!

[Stopislamnow]

Its a crying fkkin shame that those who said he "didn't" are not called to the carpet in the most humiliating manner possible.

UN News Service is certainly a credible source for what the UN has been told (on other matters, I'd be less sure). Der Spiegel has its issues (which would lead it to kill this story, if anything), but it's a mainstream news source in Germany.
