Remember the Drones of Death?
Edited on Sat Apr-03-04 01:54 PM by rumguy

Hey Fux, who were the "officials"that told you the following garbage? What a pack of fucking liers!

"Officials tell Fox that there is solid intelligence that Iraq has tested many different types of sprayers on these drones to disperse chemical and biological weapons.

<snip>

'We've also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical and biological weapons across broad areas," Bush said in preparation for a congressional vote authorizing the use of force against Iraq. "We're concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVs for missions targeting the United States.'"

"Lindsey Hilsum, the Channel 4 News diplomatic correspondent, writes from Baghdad on what it's like there ahead of a possible war.

<snip>

It turned out that we were to be shown the "remotely piloted vehicle" or drone which American officials have suggested could be the "smoking gun" to prove that Iraq continues to develop weapons of mass destruction.

We arrived at a complex of buildings near the Al Taji military facility, and were led up a long driveway to see - well, it looked like a model plane. Not a very good one.

The wings were stuck together with duct-tape, and the fuselage was made from an old aircraft fuel tank."
