Give me a break. The article's ages have NOTHING to do with the FACT that some of the trailers found had dual-purpose equipment TOTALLY unrelated to hydrogen balloon refilling attached to them and that they had been meticulously CLEANED by the one thing that would destroy just about any biological agent.

If you are going to try to next convince me that Iraqi's are borderline neurotic in terms of cleanliness, save your breath.

However I will concede that we can't be sure they were not used for making biological weapons. Here's a more recent article where David Kay sounds pretty convinced that they were not.

"And Vice President Dick Cheney cited discovery of two semi-trailers in Iraq as "conclusive evidence" that Iraq "did, in fact, have programs for weapons of mass destruction."
Here's David Kay on that canard: "When you look at those two trailers, while they had capabilities in many areas, their actual intended use was not for the production of biological weapons."

I was waiting for you to take this approach. Here's Kay's testimony to the CIA. EDIT: Sorry, House and Senate Intelligence Committees.

Read it, you might learn something other that what you pick up from CNBC:

Check the middle for the discussion on the mobile labs. Kay's final words on this topic were:

"That said, nothing we have discovered rules out their potential use in BW production."

From the horse's mouth and under sworn testimony, not some reporter throwing loaded questions to illicit the sensationalized responses they want...

Also know that a number of other veteran inspectors found that although those trailers weren't ideal bioweapon facilities, they were capable and would serve their purpose just fine. They weren't built for ease of use; they were built for concealment, which often forgoes comforts and "best practices"...

Comments?
