Pull your head out of the sand people. Iraq IS a threat.
Dr. Richard Spertzel, who served as an UNSCOM biological warfare specialist, described for the committee (U.S. House Armed Services Committee 9/11/02)the breadth of Iraq's efforts to both develop and conceal its toxic biological agents.
Briefly describing the various toxins Iraq is known to have developed and their various types of delivery systems, Spertzel said Iraq's biological weapons program "from the very beginning on, included both a military portion and what appeared to be a terrorist application."
"Iraq still maintains and retains the necessary personnel, equipment and supplies to have an expanded capability. Even after the destruction in 1996 of its major bacterial production facility at Al Hakam complex … It is my opinion that Iraq's greatest threat to the U.S., and certainly the U.S. homeland, is in the production of agents, bacterial agents, to be used by terrorists," Spertzel concluded.
Spertzel alluded to scenarios whereby terrorist could kill thousands by dispersing biological weapons through HVAC systems of large office buildings.
