I agree. I want to believe this guy but have to wonder what his motives are-not that I don't believe that there are WMD. It's just that my experience with Arabs is that their perception of the truth is somewhat altered.

My personal OPINION is they had a few but not many. We got most of them during the first war, that is the ones they didn't use on Iran or their own people. All of their chemical ordnance was supplied to them by the Russians and that supply dried up. I had some friends on operation Nimbus Moon when we went in and helped the Egyptains clear the Suez cannal. They told me they saw huge stockpiles of chemical munitions in the Egyptain inventories. To my knowledge, the Egyptains have long since destroyed what they had. However this stuff is all over the Middle East in other countries.

However, I sincerely believe the Iraqis were gearing up to start mass producing many, many more on their own plus developing a program to export them. We keep forgetting that they tried to assasinate Bush on his trip to Kuwait. They were and are willing to do anything to get back at us.
