As for the WMD’s, for me the discovery of those mobile labs was sufficient.
I can see no logical reason for those labs to exist beyond the development
and concealment of WMD’s. What was the last claim I heard? Mobile fertilizer
testing plants? does anyone really believe that? Why does no other country
in the world use similar devices? Is Iraq’s fertilizer technology just so
much better than everyone elses?

It sounds to me like you are shooting from the hip. Can you support your
claims?

First off I thought everyone was generally shooting from the hip, our debate
points here on a message board dedicated to fans of Lego aren’t going to change
policy. Most of my politically “like minded” friends laugh at me when I tell
them that my favorite place to debate is Lugnet.
However, it is evidence you asked for, so I tried my darndest to find it:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2003-05-28-iraq-bio-weapons_x.htm
This first article is from the AP story describing the discovery of the mobile
bio-weapons labs, and dismissing the alternative explanations. This one has the
Iraqi claim that these mobile labs were used to produce hydrogen.
http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/04/14/sprj.irq.labs/
This second article is from back when Colin Powell first described these mobile
weapons labs, Hans “Inspector Clouseau” Blix claimed that he was aware of these
labs, but believed them to be either food inspectors, or seed processors.
I will readily admit that I am not a biologist, and the creation and combination
of these elements is well beyond my understanding. Here are the questions that
just doesn’t sit right with me. If these labs were created for a legitimate
purpose, why were they camouflaged and hidden? Why did Husein not simply produce
one of these vehicles after Powell described them, he could have welcomed
inspectors to tour the facility while it was in use. This whole thing is really
suspicious, whether you buy the critics explanations or not.
