Samantha, when will you learn to stop putting your foot in your mouth?
We are finding evidence every day, much of which is reported in the US
media. The defense department is taking samples and waiting for lab
confirmations before making any declarations, but finding a warehouse
full of barrels labeled "Mustard" and "Tabun" is a slight smoking gun.
Finding an underground lab on the same site that UN inspectors had
'inspected' that has weapons grade plutonium in it, and finding a
military transport with a hermetic room for loading bio/chem payloads
into artillery shells is a bit of a smoking gun.
Before shooting off at the mouth, I suggest you wait for a
comprehensive report from the DoD. I expect they intend to lay it all
out in one big report that will thoroughly discredit the UN as an
institution capable of weapons monitoring. Partly for spite, partly to
ambarrass France, Germany, and Russia (since we are finding so much
illegal products sold by the three in the last 12 years), and partly to
make the case that the UN can't be trusted to deal effectively with the
North Korea problem.
