That's only part of it. They also have huge stocks of atropine, which has to be announced to UNMOVIC, which it was not. There's also the reports about Iraqis in full chem suits moving large chem barrels and "other items".

I agree with that, however, the article in question (and most of the other's I've seen) claims that the mere presence of the protective gear is "proof" that Iraq has / intends to use Chem Weapons.

I didn't know that the atropine needed to have been reported to UNMOVIC - interesting - but, even this is not "proof". Lets be serious. All of these items serve "defense" only and one could assume that Iraq has a genuine fear that the Coalition might use Chem Weapons. Therefore the existence of these items is a logical necessity. Could they be used to protect Iraqi's during an Iraqi Chem Attack - of course!

I've heard a few rumors about these barrels / drums - I would love to see a good report! I would immediately rub it in UNMOVIC's, Germany's, France's and the Dem/Lib's faces!
