Shots Across The Bow

Germany knew...

and still they block the UN from acting. From LGF comes this story:

The Jerusalem Post today carries a story that’s been showing up around the blogosphere for the past week, alleging that the German government deliberately covered up evidence of Iraqi smallpox arsenals (reg. req. and good luck. Mine won't work) to avoid hurting Gerhardt Schroeder’s “anti-war” re-election campaign. (Hat tip: Amy.)

On Monday, the newspaper printed a report written by senior officials in the Health Ministry last August citing German intelligence reports that batches of small pox virus were stored in Iraq, as well as in North Korea and in non-government laboratories in Russia.

Germany has documented and released proof that Iraq has violated the terms of the cease fire, as well as resolution 1441, and still they can say that war is not needed?

The article goes on:

The German Health Ministry confirmed the authenticity of the report to the newspaper but said that its "drastic language" and "exaggerated casualty figures" were designed to push for the allocation of funds for more vaccines.

Ok, so we now have proof of the third leg of the bio/chem program. We found the rockets and the warheads, and now we know-- not suspect, but know--that Iraq has stokpiles of biological weapons.

The gun isn't smoking only because it hasn't been fired. The question is how long do we let a madman keep his finger on the trigger?
