I somehow doubt this. Previous to the Gulf war, the U.S and it's German proxies, poured literally *billions* of dollars in weapons and other military aid into their then "ally" Iraq. Now these same bastards would have us believe that despite 10 years
of murderous and debilitating sanctions, a full blown naval blockade and ongoing
and continuous air raids, the Iraqi's have somehow miraculously rebuilt their military strength to  pre 1991 levels! This so called "news" item is an obvious propaganda plant, designed to justify another war with Iraq.

WASHINGTON (MENL) - Iraq is said to have rebuilt its weapons of mass 
destruction capabilities to the level of that of that on the eve of 
the 1991 Gulf war.

U.S. officials said Iraqi President Saddam Hussein began rebuilding 
his WMD capabilities soon after the departure of United Nations 
weapons inspectors in late 1998. They said that over the last 18 
months Iraq is believed to have accelerated its strategic weapons 
programs

"Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs 
continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status," a letter by 
10 leading members of Congress said. "We believe we must directly 
confront Saddam, sooner rather than later."

The letter called on the Bush administration to make Iraq the next 
target in the U.S.-led war on terrorism. The congressional leaders 
said United Nations sanctions have failed. They cited Iraqi illegal 
oil sales, which officials believe have funded Saddam's WMD programs.

US Says Libyan Bio-Chem
Warfare Site Concealed
Beneath Mountain
Special To World Tribune.com
12-20-1

The United States has concluded that Libya built a weapons of mass 
destruction facility in a huge underground lair.

U.S. intelligence sources said Libya built a chemical weapons site 
near Tarhuna. The facility, the sources said, is located under a 
mountain.

Libya obtained help in the construction of the facility from 
Pyongyang. North Korea is known to be a leading expert in the 
construction of underground sites and tunnels meant to conceal 
missiles and WMD for several nations in the region, Middle East 
Newsline reported.

The sources said U.S. spy satellites first detected the construction 
of the facility in 1997. Within three years, officials determined it 
as a chemical weapons factory and that work on it had been 
completed.

The U.S. intelligence community, the sources said, has not 
determined whether the facility became operational. The sources 
cited the United Nations embargo on Tripoli as well as low oil 
rices, which limited Libya's funding for military and strategic 
programs.

ut the sources said the Tarhuna facility is believed to have once 
again been the target of development in the aftermath of the UN 
decision to lift sanctions from Tripoli in 1999.

The sources said the regime of Col. Moammar Khaddafy has been 
negotiating with European firms for dual-use equipment that could 
help Libya's chemical weapons program.

The sources said the Bush administration is reviewing the Tarhuna 
project as part of the U.S.-led war on terrorism. They said it would 
be difficult to destroy the chemical weapons facility without a 
grund invasion.
