According to Powell, unidentified sources said the Iraqis dispersed rocket launchers and warheads holding biological weapons to the western desert, hiding them in palm groves and moving them every one to four weeks.
Nothing has been reported found after months of searching by U.S. and Australian troops.
Lt. Gen. Amer al-Saadi, the Iraqi presidential science adviser, suggested that the story of palm groves and movement was lifted whole from an Iraqi general's written account of hiding missiles in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

So in four months the troops have dug up ALL of the desert? As I've said time and time again,
UN Inspectors have said it is COMMON for Iraqi's to dig a hole, put the weapons in, put a tarp over it, and fill it back up.

In postwar interviews, with Hussein no longer in power, no Iraqi scientist is known to have confirmed any revived weapons program.

After most of their lives being brainwashed that if they tell anything to anyone, Saddam will hunt them, or their family down and kill them. Oh, and some of them could be loyalists.

Powell noted Iraq had declared that it produced 8,500 liters of the biological agent anthrax before 1991, but U.N. inspectors estimated it could have made up to 25,000 liters. None has been "verifiably accounted for," he said.
No anthrax has been reported found.

COUGH Buried in desert

Powell said that defectors had told of "biological weapons factories" on trucks and in train cars. He displayed artists' conceptions of such vehicles.
After the invasion, U.S. authorities said they found two such truck trailers in Iraq, and the CIA said it concluded they were part of a bioweapons production line. But no trace of biological agents was found on them.

How does the USA decontaminate any Humvee that comes in contact with a biological agent? Sprays it down with a high-pressure hose. Nothing special, something you can find at any do-it-yourself car wash. Now, I don't know about
YOU but I'd have the common sense to decontaminate any WMD filled car before I went for a nice Sunday drive.

Powell said 122 mm chemical warheads found by U.N. inspectors in January might be the "tip of an iceberg."
The warheads were empty, a fact Powell did not note.

Have you ever handled a gu? The first thing, the FIRST thing they teach you is to treat the gun as if it were loaded. These warheads are the same thing. A gun is a method of delivery, so is a missle, why else have them?

Powell said that "intelligence sources" indicated Iraq had a secret force of up to a few dozen prohibited Scud-type missiles. He said it also had a program to build newer, 600-mile-range missiles, and had put a roof over a test facility to block the view of spy satellites.

I'm sorry, what was shot at Kuwaities and Americans during the war? I forgot...
