Over the weekend the AP reported that Analysts Doubt U.S. Claim on Iraqi Drones. These were the planes that were going to fly from Iraq to the US and kill us with chemical and biological weapons.
Huddled over a fleet of abandoned Iraqi drones, U.S. weapons experts in Baghdad came to one conclusion: Despite the Bush administration's public assertions, these unmanned aerial vehicles weren't designed to dispense biological or chemical weapons.
Is there even a single claim from Colin Powell's February 5th UN presentation that has turned out to be true?

On the model airplanes of mass destruction, I especially liked this quote on why the Air Force disagreed with the intelligence agencies, and thought the UAV's to be harmless:
Compared to other agencies, Bob Boyd, director of the Air Force Intelligence Analysis Agency, said the Air Force relied more on information from reconnaissance satellites and less on defectors, in accessing Iraq's UAVs.
Says it all, doesn't it?
