Not really a topic for the List, but

Just a few small points

As someone who has military experience, you will realise that so does just
about any army. I bet even such terrifying despotic nations as Belgium and
Luxemburg posses stocks of such equipment. In addition, US troops have also
removed UN Weapons Inspections seal from certain equipment in their search
so far. Hardly helpful.

Not yet proven at all as I understand - please cite the details?

These were Kurdish terrorist camps in Kurdish controlled and US protected
territory if you are talking about Ansar al-Islam ...

Sorry? Proof?

Presumably these weapons were so well available and dangerous they could
have used them against the invading Coalition troops - why did they not?

Sorry - again there is still no proven link to Al Qaeda or Sept 11th. If you
know of one, I'm sure the Pentagon would love to know, because they
certainly haven't come up with one yet.
