(AP) 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.

In building its case for war, senior Bush administration officials had said Iraq's drones were intended to deliver unconventional weapons. Secretary of State Colin Powell even raised the alarming prospect that the pilotless aircraft could sneak into the United States to carry out poisonous attacks on American cities. snip

Instead, the Air Force believed Iraq's UAV programs were for reconnaissance, as are most American UAVs. Intelligence on the drones suggested they were not large enough to carry much more than a camera and a video recorder, Boyd said. snip

“We just looked at the UAVs and said, 'There's nothing here. There's no room to put anything in here,”' one of the scientists said.

The wingspan on drones that Iraqis showed journalists in March measured 24.5 feet and the aircraft were built like large, white model airplanes.




If Trent is still using ridiculous crap like the people who vote for him they must be brain dead. Who would vote for a moron like this?

1. Even if said UAV's could have been able to carry said chemicals

where would Sadam have gotten them from? Remember Sadams WMD's were also a sham. Stupid pukes will believe anything.
