	Weapons of mass destruction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Weapons of mass destruction can be high explosives or nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological weapons, but exclude the means of transporting or propelling the weapon where such means is a separable and divisible part of the weapon.
		Weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, are rarely used because their use is essentially an "invitation" for a WMD retaliation, which in turn could escalate into a war so destructive it could easily destroy huge segments of the world's population.
		Weapons of mass destruction are used to justify the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes against "rogue states" thought to be in danger of possessing or developing them.

	Weapons of Mass Distraction by Laurence M. Vance
		There were no weapons of mass destruction (unless you count the weapons the United States sold Iraq in the 1980s when Saddam Hussein was our "friend").
		Fourth, every country in the world is justified in obtaining nuclear weapons to protect themselves against the one country that was the first county to develop nuclear weapons, the only county to use nuclear weapons, and the country that has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons — the United States of America.
		By distracting the American people with the red herring of weapons of mass destruction, Bush and company were able to garner the support of the majority of the American public for what has turned out to be an absolute disaster for Iraqi people and a quagmire for the United States.

	US using uranium WMDs in Iraq
		The United States and the United Kingdom, which invaded Iraq ostensibly to strip that country of its weapons of mass destruction, now stand accused of using some of the worst WMDs to overcome the fierce resistance an army, weakened by 12 years of United Nations sanctions, is putting up.
		A tank unit then fired "two 120mm high velocity depleted uranium rounds straight down the main road, creating a powerful vacuum that literally sucked guerrillas out from their hideaways into the street, where they were shot down by small arms fire or run over by the tanks," the Web site quoting the unit's commander, said.
		Depleted uranium weapons contaminate the land and cause ill-health and cancers among the soldiers using the weapons, the armies they target, and civilians in the region, leading to birth defects in children.

	Weapons of Mass Destruction (Harpers.org)
		Hans Blix, the chief weapons inspector for the United Nations, said that the quality of American intelligence on Iraq was very poor and suggested that the American and British governments had "jumped to conclusions" about weapons of mass destruction.
		A growing number of weapons experts, engineers, chemists, and other scientists said that the "germ trailers" trumpeted by the Americans are not at all what one would expect from a mobile weapons lab and that the units appear to be designed to produce hydrogen to fill artillery balloons, which is what Iraqi scientists have claimed.
		The United States was granted broad exemptions for the use of methyl bromide, a pesticide that damages the ozone layer; the chemical was supposed to be banned under the Montreal Protocol, which the U.S. signed.

	NUCLEAR AND WMD
		The 1999 NATO Summit made clear that nuclear weapons were not merely for use in response to a nuclear attack on the Alliance.
		Many other nations retain the traditional view that nuclear weapons are in a class of their own because their destructive capacity cannot be prevented by a vaccine; is uniquely reliable in its mass effects; and uniquely destroys inorganic material as well as organic life.
		The Government should consider whether the term ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ is useful in shaping policy, and on whether it is correct to assume that we already live in an irrevocably proliferated world.

	Disarmament Diplomacy: The Relevance of Gender for Eliminating Weapons of Mass Destruction - United Nations Security ...
		Weapons of mass destruction are not only physical objects, they are political objects; their symbolic importance is key in national and international security debates, as well as in domestic politics.
		Thus, when the United States, with the most powerful economy and conventional military in the world, acts as though its power and security are guaranteed only by a large nuclear arsenal, it creates a context in which nuclear weapons become the ultimate necessity for, and symbol of, state security.
		Living in the United States during the build up to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, the symbolic gendered overtones of the difference between responding to a "bully" with inspections or military action was enormously significant, especially for mobilising political support.

	Vice President Richard B. Cheney's Visit to the Middle East -March 2002
		He said concern over the possible use of weapons of mass destruction "is very real" based on what the coalition has learned in Afghanistan, namely that the al Qaeda terrorist network was "aggressively seeking to acquire" nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons and would have used them if they had them.
		The United Kingdom has taken additional important steps in the war, including the freezing of millions of pounds of terrorist assets, as well as passing new legislation to make it possible to confront the on-going danger of terror.
		I would suggest that were the United States to undertake further military action of any kind that involved our British allies, that it would be done only in the closest possible consultation and co-ordination and that Britain certainly retains the right to decide whether or not to participate in any particular action.
