U.S. Fears Saddam Has
Special 'Invisible' Weapons
President Bush today announced that
secret Iraqi intelligence documents found
by troops in Baghdad show that Saddam
Hussein may have successfully
produced special, invisible weapons
of mass destruction while he was in power
and that he or his terrorist associates
may still have access to them.
Speaking to reporters at the White
House, the president said the weapons put
America in an unprecedented level
of danger: "This is a serious threat. Weapons
that are invisible are very, very
hard to find. Heck, we can't even see 'em," he
explained.
The secret documents apparently show
that the Iraqi army was developing
invisible anthrax and invisible
VX, both of which may have been passed on to
terrorist groups such as al-Quaeda.
Secretary of State Colin Powell said:
"This is even worse than we first thought.
It just proves how right we were
to invade Iraq."
Secretary of Homeland Security Tom
Ridge immediately responded by raising
the national threat advisory level
to red.
"We must be extra vigilant," said
Secretary Ridge. "Anyone who sees what
they suspect to be an invisible
chemical or biological weapon should report it
to the authorities right away."
--RIDGE:
Vigilant
President Bush is now expected to
ask Congress for a new package of funding
to deal with invisible weapons.
Hopes are high that Halliburton,
a company which coincidentally has links to
Vice President Dick Cheney, may
have developed a new 'invisible weapons
detector' that could be used to
combat the new threat. Each unit is believed to
cost around 10 million dollars and
early tests have been promising.
Dick Cheney was unavailable for comment.
