UK experts to help Iraq destroy chemical residues

Britain will help the Iraqi government dispose of what's left of deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons, still stored in two bunkers in north of Baghdad, the British embassy in Baghdad announced Monday.

The British Defense Ministry will start training Iraqi technical and medical workers this year, an embassy statement said. The teams will work to safely destroy remnants of munitions and chemical warfare agents left over from Saddam's regime. He was overthrown in 2003 following an American-led invasion.

Saddam stored the chemical weapons near population centers so that he could access them quickly, despite the danger to his civilian population.

Most of Iraq's chemical weapons were destroyed by military forces in 1991 during the first Gulf War or by U.N. inspectors after the fighting. The inspections halted just before the invasion.

Iraq is a party to the U.N. Chemical Weapons Convention and must get rid of the remaining material, according to terms of the pact.

The head of the Iraqi National Authority, Mohammed Al Sharaa, said the remnants "represent a great challenge to the Iraqi experts to safely dispose." He called the agreement with British authorities "a good opportunity for Iraqi experts to benefit from the well-known expertise of U.K. experts."

British Ambassador to Iraq Simon Collis said Britain is glad to assist in what he called "this difficult and dangerous task."

ya.... poor Fuzz....



Victor's around here somewhere tho....

He's like masturbating. Sure you can get to the finish line but isn't better with someone else?

The Brits are prolly just teaching a couple of Hajis to push some brooms.

So if most were destroyed in1991, and the war began in 2002, then...?

^OP's citation. Just going with the man's premise.

My ex son in law told me the same thing after his tour. But what the heck, they're only soldiers who saw it first hand. Have to be lying, right?

Where in the hell is Fox News on all this, seems like they would have a hot blond in Bagdad for something this good.

I think they are sending the hot blonds to Tampa for the Ron Paul nomination.

Bush deraingment syndrome has no cure and it seems to be chronic. At least he skirted around getting war powers act.........Barry just says "we dont need congress".

Same shīt different azzhole.

DWD surprised your always so angry your wife is a looker.......how do you feel about Paul and Gary Johnson?

After watching CNN getting trounced in the ratings FoxNews has decided to go in another direction.

More people log on here on the CBid forums than watch CNN.


Sorry for those keeping score at home but WMD are WMD regardless of their delivery method.

Thanks for playing!

What delivery method Dr.? Thats what they were looking for.

Method of delivery to cross its borders?

But those aren't delivery methods... those are types of weapons. You can have a drum full of a Chemical or Biological or Radiological agent, you still have to get it to your target.

You were never told Iraq didn't have chemical weapons. I don't know why you keep bringing that up. As I said he was known to use them a lot on his own people and our own media reported on it constantly. But what Powell and the rest of the Bush administration said he had to the UN and to the American public, they didn't. Powell even claims now that the most trusted source they used to say these things was a known liar code named curveball because his info was so often wrong. Claims of hidden nuke programs and weaponized biological agents being made in mobile labs just weren't true and they pretty much knew it when they used that as an excuse to go into Iraq. They didn't just say "Saddam has WMD's" they gave details on what exactly he had. Details they apparently just made up. Powell himself calls his "WMD Speech" to the UN a blot on his military record to this day.

Looks like a job for ServPro

It's déjàvu all over again. We went through this when we destroyed the yellow cake.

No apology here on the ginned up war and Powells embarrassing UN speach.

We'll go through this again and again as the bush apologists keep trying to justify the unjustifiable.

by the way my cousins and friends who were over there saw icbms everywhere and trained flying monkeys with vials of anthrax in their bung holes. All saddam had to do is feed them the exlax and send them to the air. God bless gwb.

Cindy Brady could bake yellow cake.

I saw the photos too. Those monkeys were menacing. Send the photos to fox, they are looking for them.

I can't wait for the next round if this nonsense. It will come.

But how does Lolo Jones feel about this?

No, they're living in Washington D.C., and Obama is threatening to sent them over Syria. I wasn't around for Obama's illegal war on Libya (At least GWB consulted Congress, and got authorization), but thanks to the Democrats penchant for the instant replay (those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it- George Santayana), I can say the same thing about Syria that i was saying elsewhere about Libya, to wit:

when you see one enemy attacking another enemy, you do not have to feel obligated to take sides. I espouse the Budweiser Doctrine! When the enemy has engaged himself, sit back, crack open a cold one and cheer both sides on, and hope they weaken each other so neither is an immediate threat to you! If they wipe each other from the face of the earth, problem solved!
