More References to Weapons Prohibited by UN Resolution
Supporters will argue that there is now evidence at least that Saddam Hussein and his scientists were hiding facilities and, in one case, even a vial of botulinum toxic in someone's house.
This toxin is described by the Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies in the United States as "the single most poisonous substance known".
Plans for a 1,000-kilometre range missile (625 miles) are also said to have been found.
Such a missile would have violated United Nations sanctions.

Matt's Chat
The article set up the two bits we've put up and then spent the second half of the article making excuses. The UN resolutions didn't say that Iraq couldn't have a "programme" of WMD, the resolutions said that Iraq couldn't have ANY WMDs. Let's stop making excuses and start dealing with the facts. I still find it curious that the major sources still haven't picked up on the smuggling story out of Kuwait. Can it be that the Hindustan Times is more on the ball than our famed American media?
Mark's Remarks
Well, then the "hate bush" and "Bush is a Liar" campaigns would have to be revised...But of course, it must be because the mainstream media has a conservative bias they are not reporting this, right? WRONG!!!!!! This would damage all the 'gotcha' tactics the left has used, so we will not hear about it until later, and only then as a 5 second blurb. Shame on the media....keep on reporting only the negative, keep on getting our soldiers killed.....it is not the President who has emboldened the terrorists, it is the American media......
