They have chemical WMD.
They have biological WMD.
They are trying really hard to have nuclear WMD.
They have been testing and building delivery systems.
They have been actively hiding all of this from UN inspectors.
They have been supplying terrorists with weapons, support, cash, etc. They have been meeting with Al Qaeda leaders.
It would seem to me that the only response "the left" of any country can have is that we manufactured this evidence. I am willing to bet that will be the shrill chorus.
You got it. Now get ready for it. :-)
Powell said these have wingspans of only two or so meters (maybe 6-8 feet?) and they are testing them with spray tanks. And, these were noted just prior to the long racetrack pattern slide where they were checking their range up to 500kms,...
Six rhetorical questions need to be asked in light of this one single and demonstrated threat which only took a few minutes in the briefing;
1. How difficult would it be to smuggle a number of these tested UAVs and bio/chem into the United States, given the state of our borders and ports?
2. How difficult would it be to fill and position these UAVs with 'ample' smuggled bio/chem weapons, given the state of our borders/ports/surveillance?
3. How difficult would it be to put trained detachments of terrorists, Iraqi personnel disguised as terrorists or even trained American terrorist cells in control of these weapons, given the open state of our borders/ports/surveillance?
4. How difficult would it be to fly a number (even one would be catastrophic attack) of these dispensing UAVs over American cities and bases via remote control (perhaps from many miles away) and dispense these toxins/chems over unprotected and heavily populated areas, perhaps killing millions and contaminating huge areas?
5. What would be the human, economic and political results of such a horrible attack (to us, not just them)?
6. Is there any other reason needed why all our guys in the know look so nervous and want to do something, quick?
Forget the missile rings displayed around Iraq. Worry about the ones not displayed n this country!
