United Nations Evidence of Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction
46,000 chemical/biological weapons should not be easily lost!
This page is posted simply because most media REFUSE to cover this evidence, although it has been emailed to quite a few within their profession. .....as usual, they chose not to pursue the subject unless it made the current administration look bad.
For any journalist worth the title, the below information is easily verified by some incredibly simple research your in-house intern could perform. While there, perhaps they could brush up on the many UN resolutions Saddam VIOLATED! If, as liberals would have us believe, the UN is the Grand Savior of all on the Planet Earth, why are they not upset over the violation of these resolutions?
In fact, if any of the weapons had any rumor of the name Halliburton, you can bet your life the American media would track down every last one of them.
Read the information below, then ask yourself if you want to continue to betray millions of Americans by denying the existence of Hussein's Weapons of Mass Destruction. Ask yourself why Secretary of Defense William Cohen MANDATED all those in uniform receive the anthrax vaccinations because of the threat from Saddam?
The information could be easily discounted in the fairy world of make-believe
that many liberals live in.......since the data pertains to what the UN found
prior to 1998, but they should have enough consciousness to realize their
favorite organization, the UNITED NATIONS, is the organization that found the
weapons listed below.
To all those serving in Iraq and elsewhere, and especially the families, please
understand the majority of Americans support you and the honorable work you are doing, and the sacrifices
you are making. One need only look at the evidence below, that the UN has had for years, to know why you
are deployed.
For all of the current whining by those against action in Iraq, Hans Blix, the weasels overseas and the
parasites at the UN who bellow emphatically that there were no WMD's in Iraq and that President Bush lied by
exaggerating intelligence, one need look no further than the UN themselves over what information they had
that may have played a huge role in going to war.
IF THE UN HAD NOT PROVIDED THE EVIDENCE!!! WOULD WE BE AT WAR?
You might be surprised at how detailed the evidence is of Iraqi WMD, that the UN has had in its possession
for some time.
46,000 filled chemical weapons is not something easily lost or forgotten about.
Consider the following information reported to the UN, as listed in the UN’s own book on the subject titled,
The United Nations and the Iraq-Kuwait Conflict 1990-1996.
This book can be purchased from the UN’s web site (which I did in 1997) and is still offered for sale
there at:
http://www.un.org/Pubs/modelun/bluebook.htm
although you would not recognize the incredible information contained in the book based on the
description posted at their site.
Most of the reports in the book by the Executive Chairman of UNSCOM should be accessible at the UN web
site separately.
Note the initial denials, and then the dates showing how long it took the UN to finally force admission to
the existence of these programs. Politicians in this country, or some media twit who never spent a day in
uniform denigrate the military in demanding to know why WMD's have not been found after only a few months
searching.
The UN CONTINUALLY acted over many years as if just because they demanded something, Iraq would comply
rather than hide. How many UN officials who were against the latest action in Iraq (including Hans
Blix) are worried about being shown as incompetent?
Some word-for-word excerpts from the UN book:
18 April 1991 In Iraq’s first declaration regarding weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles,
denies having weapons grade nuclear material, a biological weapons program or any super guns. It also
declares holdings of ballistic missiles and chemical weapons.
27 April 1991 In a second declaration regarding nuclear weapons, Iraq admits to having some nuclear
materials in addition to those known by the IAEA.
16 May 1991 Iraq submits revised declarations covering chemical weapons and ballistic missiles, increasing
the number of items declared.
23-28 June 1991 During the second IAEA inspection (22 June – 3 July 1991), Iraq obstructs access to items
prohibited under the terms of the cease-fire. Shots are fired at inspectors trying to intercept a convoy
leaving a site during the course of an inspection.
7-18 July 1991 The third IAEA inspection uncovers large stocks of natural uranium and 15 kilograms of
highly enriched uranium, and reveals the existence of various uranium enrichment programs.
2-8 August 1991 UNSCOM conducts its first biological inspection of Iraqi facilities and uncovers a major
biological program. Seed stocks of three biological warfare agents are handed over to the team, and the
team removes three further potential warfare strains.
8-15 August 1991 Iraq discloses the existence of a supergun and other banned missile related materials.
1-9 October 1991 UNSCOM destroys Iraq’s supergun at Jabal Hamran and a start is made on the destruction of
components of other superguns.
14 October 1991 Iraq officially admits research and studies are under way on nuclear weaponization.
18 November-1 December 1991 UNSCOM finds more than 100 items of chemical bomb making material hidden in a
sugar factory in Mosul and undeclared material for SCUD missiles.
27 January – 5 February 1991 UNSCOM verifies delivery of chemical bomb-making equipment to Al Muthanna and
concludes additional tests are needed prior to destruction of nerve agents.
21 February-24 March 1992 The first chemical destruction team destroys 463 nerve agent filled
rockets, i.e. approximately 2.5 tons of agent.
19 March 1992 Iraq declares having more previously undeclared ballistic missiles, chemical weapons and
associated material, and says they unilaterally destroyed this material in the summer of 1991.
10 January 1993 Some 200 Iraqis force their way into ammunition bunkers located at the former naval base at
Um Qasr and remove weapons and armaments slated for destruction.
1 July 1995 Iraq admits to having had a full-scale offensive biological weapons program.
4 August 1995 Iraq gives UNSCOM a written account of their biological weapons program but denies efforts to
weaponize agents.
7 August 1995 Gen. Hussein Kamel Hassan, former director of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and
ballistic missile programs defects from Iraq to Jordan.
17 August 1995 Iraq admits it produced biological weapons, a crash program to produce nuclear weapons
and made greater progress in producing VX nerve agent.
20 August 1995 Iraq gives UNSCOM 680,000 pages of printed documents, computer disks, videotapes,
microfilm and microfiche relating to its banned weapons programs.
25 October 1991 Report by Executive Chairman of UNSCOM
Iraq acknowledged possessing 46,000 filled chemical weapons stored at various sites throughout Iraq.
Conclusive documentary evidence was found at two Iraqi facilities showing Iraq had a program for
developing nuclear weapons.
In the course of inspection of Tammuz (Al Taqqadum) Air Base, 200 aerial bombs filled with mustard agent
were counted and recorded.
The team examined 30 chemical filled ballistic missile warheads declared by Iraq in the Dujayl area.
14 were binary type filled with isopropanol and cyclohexanol with only DF needing to be added to
produce nerve agent prior to use. 56 plastic containers of DF were found. Iraq stated 16 warheads
were filled with a mixture of GB and GF nerve agents.
At Al Bakr Air Base, 25 type 250 gauge aerial bombs and 135 type 500 aerial bombs filled with mustard
agent were declared by Iraq.
At Al Taji, 6,000 empty aluminum containers intended for filling with nerve agent and inserted
into 122-millimeter warheads were found.
At Al Fallujah Proving Ground, Iraq declared the storage of 6,394 mustard-filled 155-millimeter
artillery shells. Analysis confirmed the presence of mustard agent.
Of the 14 warheads mentioned above as being filled with chemicals, just prior to their destruction, the
senior Iraqi official present said 4 were filled with the nerve agent Sarin.
Iraq has declared 6,120 sarin nerve agent filled 122-millimeter rocket warheads and their attendant
motors.
Iraq provided seed stocks of biological warfare agents to the team consisting of Clostridium
botulinum, Clostridium perfringens and Bacillus anthracis. Iraq also possessed the following
micro-organisms-Brucellus abortus, Brucella
melitensis, Francisella tularensis and various strains of Clostridium botulinum.
At one undisclosed site, 30 SCUD warheads filled with chemicals were found.
Second report of the Executive Chairman of UNSCOM 4 December 1991
Iraq’s recent record in the nuclear area is consistent with, if less dramatic than, its actions
over the last six months that included the concealment of evidence of plutonium separation, of uranium
enrichment, and of nuclear weapons development, of refusal to permit inspection teams to enter some sites
and exit others, and confiscation of documents from inspectors in the course of an inspection.
At Al Tuz, Khamisiyah, and Muhammadiyat numbers of munitions were discovered, including but not limited
to 122 mm rockets, which were considered to be in too unsafe a condition to move and for which a drilling
and draining (of nerve agent) would be very hazardous.
Report by the IAEA to the Security Council by Hans Blix (yes....the same Blix who now says Bush
exaggerated intelligence)
These consisted of 68 fuel assemblies of 36% enrichment with a U-235 content of 1.27 Kilograms. In
addition, there was a set of fresh fuel plates for the Tamus-2 reactor (French MTR type) with an enrichment
of 93% and a total U-235 content of 372 grams.
Since the declarations of 18 and 27 April, inspections have resulted in some 400 tons of
additional material being declared by Iraq—natural uranium in many forms, ranging from yellowcake to
processed chemicals…Much of the material had been concealed by dispersion or burial in desert areas.
(Remember the crap about some democrat in the foreign service who WHINED
about his wife in the CIA complaining about uranium from Niger?)
The major discovery has been that of the Electromagnetic Isotope Separation (EMIS) program and
its extent. A major concealment effort was made by Iraq to hide the existence of its program from
inspectors, equipment being dispersed and in many cases buried in remote areas.
The removal from Iraq of the remaining 35 kilograms of U-235 contained in the irradiated fuel elements of
the Tamuz-2 and IRT 5000 research reactors is one of the major tasks still pending.
It seems even Mr Hans Blix was tricked by the Iraqis regarding their nuclear weapons program.
Special Report of the Executive Chairman of UNSCOM 18 February 1992
In relation to the biological weapons, Iraq clearly violated its obligations to hand over to the
Commission all its biological weapons-related items when it destroyed buildings at Salman Pak immediately
prior to the first Commission inspection there. Explanations provided to date, including those given
most recently to the special mission, have not been convincing,
Third Report of the Executive Chairman of UNSCOM 16 June 1992
A new development was the Iraqi admission of 19 March 1992 that it had omitted to declare 24,470
chemical munitions and these weapons had been unilaterally destroyed in direct contravention of
resolution 687.
Fourth Report of the Executive Chairman of UNSCOM 17 December 1992
The agents which Iraq had available were mustard agent, the nerve agents GB and GF (and also about 70
tons of “spoiled” GA) and small research quantities of three other nerve agents. The total quantities
involved are approximately 250-300 tons.
Of the filled munitions, mortar bombs were filled with CS, the 155mm shells are filled with mustard and
the 122mm rockets are filled with nerve agents, either GB or a GB/GF mix. The aerial bombs are filled with
either mustard agent or nerve agents. Some of the SCUD chemical warheads are filled with GB, the others
designed to use the binary process.
The number and quantity of munitions and agent destroyed by the Special Commission as of 14 December
1992 were on the order of:
5,000 sarin-filled 122mm rockets
44,500 liters of GB/GF
120 liters of GB
5,000 liters of D4
1,100 liters of dichlorethane
16.5 tons of thiodiglycol
5.5 tons of mustard agent
Report of the Secretary-General 11 October 1995
The Commission has concluded that VX was produced on an industrial scale.
Significant in this context is Iraq’s admission in September 1995 of the production in 1990 of 65 tons of
choline, a chemical used exclusively for production of VX. This amount would be sufficient for the production
of approximately 90 tons of VX. Furthermore, Iraq had over 200 tons each of the precursors phosphorus
pentasulphide anddi-ispropylamine. These quantities would be sufficient to produce 400 tons of
VX. At present, there is no conclusive evidence to support Iraq’s claims concerning the complete disposal of
these two precursors and the choline.
Iraq has admitted the development of prototypes of binary sarin-filled artillery shells, 122mm rockets
and aerial bombs. However the new documentation shows production well beyond prototype levels. Iraq has also
admitted three flight tests of long-range missiles with chemical warheads, including one, in April 1990,
with sarin.
The Commission has been compelled to cast a wider net in the biological field because of Iraq’s
incomplete disclosure of the full extent of its past biological warfare activities.
In its March 1995 declaration, Iraq admitted to only a very small defensive biological research
program.
On 20 August 1995, General Amer Rashid al-Ubeidi contacted UNSCOM and requested they visit a farm,
which the General stated belonged to General Hussein Kamel Hassan. At the farm, in a locked chicken house
numerous metal and wooden boxes, which were packed with documentation, together with microfiche, computer
diskettes, videotapes, photographs and prohibited hardware were found.
The foot and mouth disease plant at Daura was converted to biological weapons production of
botulinum toxin. The plant was used for production of botulinum toxin from November 1990 until 15 January
1991 by which time 5,400 liters of concentrated toxin had been produced. Production of perfringens for
biological weapons began at Al Hakam in August 1990. A total of 340 liters of concentrated perfringens was
produced.
Weaponization of biological warfare agents began on a large scale in December 1990 at Muthanna. R400
bombs
were selected as the appropriate munition for aerial delivery and 100 were filled with botulinum toxin, 50
with anthrax, and 16 with aflatoxin. In addition, 25 Al Hussein warheads were filled with botulinum toxin
(13), anthrax (10), and aflatoxin (2). These weapons were then deployed at four locations in early January
1991 during the war.
In summary, Iraq has declared the production of at least 19,000 liters of concentrated botulinum toxin,
(nearly 10,000 liters were filled into munitions), 8,500 liters of concentrated anthrax (some 6,500
liters were filled into munitions) and 2,200 liters of concentrated aflatoxin (1,580 liters were filled into
munitions).
In spite of the substantial new disclosures made by Iraq in August 1995, the Commission does not believe
that Iraq has given a full and correct account of its biological weapons program.
(The book makes very clear the Iraqi government lied as much as possible in order to retain WMD capability. It
also is very clear that a good deal of equipment in Iraq could be used for production of WMD, and was not
destroyed. It was inventoried by the UN, and was to be monitored by them. The book describes the refusal by
Iraq to allow installation of video camera monitoring, and when they did, their refusal to allow the cameras
to be turned on. While the UN was able to destroy a good deal of very real chemical or biological weapons,
they admitted they did not get everything they KNEW Iraq had.
There are also several entries of equipment being tagged for monitoring, the Iraqi's removing or moving
the equipment to some other site, and a UN demand for its return.
Can anyone truly believe Saddam Hussein would have allowed that equipment to sit idle after the UN was
kicked out of the country?
It is shocking to see so many in the media, and quite a number of politicians asking for evidence of weapons
of mass destruction in Iraq…..as if they never existed! These moron US
citizens who have been schlepped on television stating "I need more
evidence!" are almost as arrogant and incredibly disgusting as Michael
Moore. What is more frustrating is to see any number of representatives (of the
liberal avante garde organization) at the UN act in the same manner, when reams of evidence have been provided to the UN
Security Council since 1990.
To summarize the book, it is an 844-page compilation of important documents, reports, or other information
regarding the UN and its activities in Iraq since 1990, including summarizations of reports from what
was found by the UN inspectors making up UNIKOM and UNSCOM.
It truly is sad to see the number of countries who participated on this team, what they found, and their
countries leaders stonewall any action by the UN to remove Saddam Hussein, or action to assist Iraq in
rebuilding. It is much worse to see supposedly responsible politicians destroy troop morale by
playing gutter politics and claim their sacrifices are in vain.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
