"What makes this picture significant," he explained, "is that we have a human source who has corroborated that movement of chemical weapons occurred at this site at that time."
"So it's not just the photo," he said, "and it's not an individual seeing the photo."
"It's the photo and then the knowledge of an individual being brought together to make the case," he advised.
Next he told the world about all the chemical weapons that Saddam was hoarding.
"Our conservative estimate," Colin said, "is that Iraq today has a stockpile of between 100 and 500 tons of chemical weapons agent."
"That is enough agent to fill 16,000 battlefield rockets," he advised.
"Even the low end of 100 tons of agent," he continued, "would enable Saddam Hussein to cause mass casualties across more than 100 square miles of territory, an area nearly 5 times the size of Manhattan."
And on top of that, Colin said, "we have sources who tell us that he recently has authorized his field commanders to use them."
"He wouldn't be passing out the orders," he informed the world, "if he didn't have the weapons or the intent to use them."
A thought just occurred to me, I wonder if Saddam was watching this dog and pony show live as Colin was performing. If he was, he no doubt told anybody within ear shot, that the Bush administration sure had a lot of gall calling him a liar.
