Iran probably has germ weapons, possibly N.Korea-US

GENEVA, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Iran probably has germ warfare weapons, North Korea may have developed them and Syria could have carried out research into such banned weapons, the United States told an arms conference on Monday.

Addressing the opening session of the sixth review conference of the Convention on Biological Weapons (BWC), U.S. delegation head John C. Rood said those countries were of particular concern given their "support for terrorism".

"We believe that Iran probably has an offensive biological weapons programme in violation of the BWC," Rood said. "We also believe North Korea has a biological weapons capability and may have developed, produced and weaponised for use.

"Finally, we remain seriously concerned that Syria ... has conducted research and development for an offensive BW programme," he said.

1. Looks like someone's grasping at straws; I guess one war isn't

distraction enough.:eyes: Yeah, call me cynical.

[gatorboy]

2. Of COURSE they do! When have we ever been wrong??

Tell me more! *Stares intently, batting eyes*

3. Of course, Iran does....

we discovered that the minute the CIA memo, saying there were no Nukes, was leaked.

The headline is funny...I thought for a minute it was including the US in the list. Of course, the US is in the list but for some reason it isn't typically presented that way. Then again, it's OK for us because we are the US!!

9. It's called "spit"

Word on the street is they don't really brush their teeth. And they're very dirty people. One spit from these people can kill a million cockroaches.

LOL

This is so ridiculous!

4. I would be shocked if they didn't have bio/chemical weapons.

There is nothing new in this reporting. Google "Iran" "biological weapons" and you will find scores of reports on such.

5. Is it a "Slam Dunk"?

Those Iranian germ weapons have gotta be somewhere...

6. Like Iraq had germ weapons labs in trailers?

They are following the same script as the lead up to the Iraq war.

7. Is Colin Powell going to read another list at the U.N.?

I mean that last one he read about Iraq was just sooooooo accurate. :eyes:

8. So the CIA says Iran isn't working on nuclear weapons

So the Bushies are now really grasping at straws.

10. WOLF! WOLF! WOLF! WOLF!

Wolf with biological weapons! Wolf with biological weapons! Wolf with biological weapons!

Will no one listen to me?!

11. We even have pictures of Rumsfeld delivering them.

It was a ten-country visit to oppressive regimes, and at each stop Rummy, representing the GOP, would hand out weapons so dangerous, that Rummy and the GOP would one day have to make war to take back.

The point, you see, is war -- never-ending war. Either with East Asia or Eurasia, depending.

Terra on the 10's!

13. How fucking convenient

I'm surprised they didn't find a way to tie Venezuela and Cuba into it.

14. Iran has unicorns too. And, and the fountain of youth. And Bigfoot.

All fairy tales.
