It's true..I even have
proof (this article was published nearly a year ago):
A group of developing countries led by India, Pakistan, Iran and Cuba held out on Tuesday against a "take it or leave it" plan to keep alive talks on strengthening a global pact against biological weapons.
A year after the United States torpedoed proposals to give teeth to the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) by setting up an inspections regime, the treaty's 146 member states were meeting in Geneva in a bid to agree other ways to cooperate.
....
The treaty outlaws the use, production and stockpiling of biological arms or toxins, but unlike other international arms control treaties, it has no verification mechanism to enable members to check on cheating.
Last year the United States rejected a detailed new protocol for the treaty providing for spot checks, arguing that it would expose its industrial and military installations to spying but give no assurance that treaty violations would be detected.
Washington, which accuses treaty members Iran, Iraq, North Korea and Libya of violating the pact, had demanded no further action on the BWC until the next review conference in 2006. (Emphasis mine)
The fact that the U.S. doesn't want inspections is clear proof that it possesses biological weapons, isn't it? Of course, this is a silly conclusion to come to. Which brings me to my real point.., I'm not trying to defend Saddam, but why do we keep hearing that Saddam acted like he had Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Everything that I remember coming from that regime was denial that it had anything, (which appears to have been correct). The response seems to be that Iraq wasn't that open about letting inspectors poke around due to trumped up concerns that Saddam had that he would be spied on. Well it seems that the Bush Administration has the same concerns about allowing inspectors into US installations. Obviously, I don't think that the U.S. has biological weapons, but it would seem to me that what's good for the the goose is good for the gander. Saddam shared the same security concerns that the U.S. had, in allowing inspectors into his country.
