Illustrative Examples of Omissions From the Iraqi Declaration to the United Nations Security Council

• The UN Special Commission concluded that Iraq did not verifiably account for, at a minimum, 2160kg of growth media.
• This is enough to produce 26,000 liters of anthrax -- 3 times the amount  Iraq declared; 1200 liters of botulinum toxin; and, 5500 liters of clostridiumperfrigens -- 16 times the amount Iraq declared.
• Why does the Iraqi declaration ignore these dangerous agents in its tally?

Ballistic Missiles

• Iraq has disclosed manufacturing new energetic fuels suited only to a class of missile to which it does not admit. 
• Iraq claims that flight-testing of a larger diameter missile falls within the 150km limit.  This claim is not credible.
• Why is the Iraqi regime manufacturing fuels for missiles it says it does not have?

Nuclear Weapons

• The Declaration ignores efforts to procure uranium from Niger.*
• Why is the Iraqi regime hiding their uranium procurement?

VX

• In 1999, UN Special Commission and international experts concluded that Iraq needed to provide additional, credible information about VX production. 
• The declaration provides no information to address these concerns.
• What is the Iraqi regime trying to hide by not providing this information?

Chemical and Biological Weapons Munitions

• In January 1999, the UN Special Commission reported that Iraq failed to provide credible evidence that 550 mustard gas-filled artillery shells and 400 biological weapon-capable aerial bombs had been lost or destroyed.
• The Iraqi regime has never adequately accounted for hundreds, possibly thousands, of tons of chemical precursors.
• Again, what is the Iraqi regime trying to hide by not providing this information?

Empty Chemical Munitions

• There is no adequate accounting for nearly 30,000 empty munitions that could be filled with chemical agents.
• Where are these munitions?

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Programs

• Iraq denies any connection between UAV programs and chemical or biological agent dispersal.  Yet, Iraq admitted in 1995 that a MIG-21 remote-piloted vehicle tested in 1991 was to carry a biological weapon spray system.
• Iraq already knows how to put these biological agents into bombs and how to disperse biological agent using aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles.
• Why do they deny what they have already admitted?  Why has the Iraqi regime acquired the range and auto-flight capabilities to spray biological weapons?

• The Iraqi declaration provides no information about its mobile biological weapon agent facilities.  Instead it insists that these are “refrigeration vehicles and food testing laboratories.”
• What is the Iraqi regime trying to hide about their mobile biological weapon facilities
