Saddam's Yacht
Fox News

Posted on 04/10/2003 9:13:25 AM PDT by Securo

Just saw some footage on Fox. They showed a well equipped Yacht that had already been partially looted. I believe that what was described as a washing machine was in fact an autoclave used for sterilization. Wondered if anyone else thought so too. Could this be for bioweaponry?

I saw a broadcast the other day and they mentioned as an aside that Saddam was germophobic.

They say he has/had liver or kidney problems. maybe it's for that. There are 3 Iraqi ships in the Indian Ocean just circling around for 3 months now. I'd bet there's a lot aboard that Hans Blix would be intersted in not seeing.

I'm not sure what an autoclave is. I did see a report yesterday or the day before where they said he would have even his top people strip down, be sterlized, and thoroughly searched before they were allowed to see him. I wonder if Dan Rather had to go through that.

A enclosed 'pressure cooker' that uses heat and pressure to heat and sterilize things. Usually found in MD's offices; but also used in testing IC packages for hermatic sealing.

We need to get a handle on the looting. Valuable evidence of international complicity will be located in buildings that are being looted and burned.

Damn right he does. They are no longer connected to each other and functional.

" an autoclave is"

what you see in your dentists, a large metal pan in which using heat, instruments are sterilized.

If Dan did, you can bet he enjoyed it.
