DA DA DUM, DUM, DUM....ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

"Let me talk now about the systems Iraq is developing to deliver weapons of mass destruction, in particular Iraq's...unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs....

There is ample evidence that Iraq has dedicated much effort to developing and testing spray devices that could be adapted for UAVs....Iraq could use these small UAVs, which have a wingspan of only a few metres, to deliver biological agents to its neighbours or if transported, to other countries, including the United States." Colin Powell, addressing the UN Security Council, 5th February (Source: BBC News Online).


"Huddled over a fleet of abandoned Iraqi drones, U.S. weapons experts in Baghdad came to one conclusion: Despite the Bush administration's public assertions, these unmanned aerial vehicles weren't designed to dispense biological or chemical weapons.

"The evidence gathered this summer matched the dissenting views of Air Force intelligence analysts who argued in a national intelligence assessment of Iraq before the war that the remotely piloted planes were unarmed reconnaissance drones." Associated Press report, 24th August.
