No WMD in Iraq? Proof the "coalition" is hiding them!
Isn't that the logic the Bush regime used to promote the Iraq war?

The fact that they won't produce them proves they're hiding them from us. I think we need to send in another army to protect the rest of the world from the caolition forces who are obviously hiding tons of biological, chemical and nukular weapons.

They could launch an attack on any country in 45 minutes, fer krist's sake!

2. Considering we have over 30,000 tons of chemical weapons in storage
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/South/08/28/chemical.weapons.ap/index.html

"The military contends incinerating the weapons is far safer than storing them. Some 2,254 tons of Cold War-era chemical weapons are stored in dirt-covered concrete bunkers at the depot, which houses about 7 percent of the nation's chemical stockpile. The United States agreed to destroy the weapons under an international treaty."

____

Basically, by my calculations, the US has a stockpile of 32,300 tons of them sitting around. (the 32,200 number is arrived by using the above 2,524 tons being 7% of the total stockpile, also that number is only chemical weapons, and does not include any biological stocks).


I'm guessing the coalition just wanted to build up that stockpile some :)
