Anyone who knows even a little about bunker busting bombs, knows that they are in fact 'depleted' uranium tipped, and hence WMD's.
These bombs contain 'depleted' uranium - a carcinogenic substance that spreads in the form of a toxic and radioactive dust. The pyrophoric nature of uranium metal causes it to burn (oxidize rapidly) when heated by impact (as in, dropped on some poor unsuspecting Iraqi, Afghani, or in the future Iranian) or in fires to form invisible aerosol particles that become airborne. These particles enter the lungs and bones and are especially harmful to babies and young children. The 'half-life' of 'depleted' uranium is 500 million years.
Very similar to the tactic used in vietnam. Poor b****** that got their skin melted. Really bad. this also affected deformed birth rate levels dramatically increase. _________________ Think for yourself....Question Authority
The Navy is warning ships sailing in waters near Yemen that al Qaeda is planning seaborne attacks similar to the 2000 suicide boat bombing of the USS Cole.
A warning notice posted on the Web site of the Office of Naval Intelligence and dated March 10 stated that the alert was issued to promote security for shipping companies and other vessels transiting the piracy-plagued region.
"Information suggests that al Qaeda remains interested in maritime attacks in the Bab-al-Mandeb Strait, Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden along the coast of Yemen," the special advisory notice stated.
A U.S. counterterrorism official said the warning was intended to boost awareness of the threat of al Qaeda attacks such as the Cole, which killed 17 U.S. sailors, and a later attack on a French oil tanker that killed one crew member.
"Extremists on the Arabian Peninsula continue to look to maritime interests as possible terrorist targets," the official said.
According to the warning notice, the exact method of any planned attack is not known but it "may be similar in nature to the attacks against the USS Cole in October 2000 and the M/V Limburg in October 2002, where a small to mid-size boat laden with explosives was detonated."
More sophisticated attack methods could include missiles or projectiles fired at ships.
"Although the time and location of such an attack are unknown, ships in the Red Sea, Bab-al-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden along the coast of Yemen are at the greatest risk of becoming targets of such an attack," the report said.
The danger zone for the attack is near Yemen, and all vessels in the region were urged to operate at a heightened state of security, including the use of 24-hour visual and radar watches.
"Vessels are at greatest risk in areas of restricted maneuverability, and while in [or] near port or at anchor," the notice said. _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

Nope. If they were deliberately designed to be WMD's the uranium wouldn't be depleted. It would be enhanced. In fact depleted uranium is used in battlefield situations (armour piercing rounds, for example) and, depending on the wind, might affect your own troops more than the enemy.
Do you realise that this uranium doesn't actually explode in the nuclear fission sense? It's a very dense metal, that's all, and good at penetrating tough materials.
This is not any rational example of a WMD. It's a potentially dangerous pollutant. _________________ Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good.

I quite agree. But a SCUD is not a WMD by any reasonable stretch of the imagination *unless* it carries a chemical, biological or nuclear warhead or - according to the monstrously distorted Butler review (neither of us wants to do that now, eh? Butler was unique and a scumbag. We are not that) - a great range .
If a device has a conventional explosive warhead on a bomb or battlefield shell it isn't a WMD. _________________ Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good.
true I guess Daddy Bush is quoted as stating 'SCUD Missiles, weapon of terror' should also remember very few states have wmd lol mostly our allies _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

Sam; not sure I made the point. Bunker busting bombs, that affect the next 500 millions years of foets's, as well as the living, in an area known to be over tens of miles at least (when carried on the wind), must be a WMD. It destroys people.
US Military Ratchets Up Iran Infiltration to Prepare for War
Escalated 'Covert Ops' Approved Across Middle East
by Jason Ditz, May 25, 2010

Officials today have admitted that Gen. David Petraeus signed a secret order months ago to dramatically escalate the number of covert military operations taking place in the Middle East. Special focus was said to have been given to Somalia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.
Gen. Petraeus
Though officials spun the operation as aimed primarily at al-Qaeda, some sources have conceded that the Iran operations were aimed at “paving the way” for an eventual US invasion of Iran, should President Obama order one in the near future.
The US has been openly funding opposition figures in Iran in an attempt at forcing “regime change,” and in the past it has also funded terrorist outfit Jundallah, but little is known about its direct on-the-ground operations in the region, except that they are growing at a serious clip.
The overall results of the US escalation have yet to be seen, but the numerous attacks against targets in Yemen in December, including the failed Christmas Eve assassination of US citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, appear to have been at least partially related to the Petraeus order.
But while the attacks are the most visible result of the order, officials report it primarily focuses on spying across the region. Some analysts are expressing concerns that the military’s spying, particularly in allied nations, could do serious harm to US diplomatic goals in the region.

Egypt's Mubarack bends over backwards (forwards?) to please 'Uncle Sam' and 'Auntie Hannah':

International agreements require Egypt to keep the Suez open even for warships, but the armada, led by the USS Truman with 5,000 sailors and marines, was the largest in years. Egypt closed the canal to fishing and other boats as the armada moved through the strategic passageway that connects the Red and Mediterranean Seas.
Despite Egypt’s reported refusal to block the canal to Iranian boats, the clearance for the American-Israeli fleet may be a warning to Iran it may face military opposition if the Iranian Red Crescent ship continues on course to Gaza.

“The more you tighten your grip, the more Star Systems will slip through your fingers.”
US Defence Secretary, Robert Gates (a man I wouldn’t trust to serve a plate of rice without ricin in it), proposes that Iran have the capability of launching missile strikes on Europe according to US Intelligence. Ignoring for a moment that the UK, USA, Russia, Germany, France, Israel, Pakistan, India and China – among others – all have similar capabilities or far better; what we have in this article is pure fraud.

US has plan to attack Iran if needed
The US military has a plan in place to attack Iran to prevent it from making nuclear weapons, American’s chief military officer admitted, though he remained “extremely concerned” about the repercussions of such a strike.

Comments by Adm Mike Mullen, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, sparked an angry reaction from Iran, which promised a “firm response” to US military action that would “endanger the security of the region”.
“We will defend ourselves if America or Israel resort to any hostile measures against our vital values,” said Yadollah Javani, the deputy head of the elite Revolutionary Guards.
Iran has threatened repeatedly to target Tel Aviv, the second-largest city in Israel, should the US or Israel take military action against it.
Asked if the military had a plan to strike Iran, Adm Mullen had replied: “We do”, and added: “I hope we don’t get to that, but it’s an important option and it’s one that’s well understood.”...................

And remember, Nick Rockefeller told Aaron Russo, 11 months before 9/11, that there would be 'an incident' leading to US going into Afghanistan and Iraq, there would be US troops going through caves hunting for Arabs, there would be a 'War on Terror', and after that 'we' will go after Venezuela':

“The more you tighten your grip, the more Star Systems will slip through your fingers.”
The group Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity has sent a memo to US President Obama warning him that Israel may attack Iran as early as this month, possibly leading to a wider war. Group member and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said Israel feels America's got its back no matter what. This can be stopped, but only if Obama acts pre-empt an Israeli attack by publicly condemning it before it happens.
