Bush heralded this discovery: “Yes, we found a biological laboratory in Iraq which the United Nations prohibited.” However, a British biological weapons expert who examined the trailers told the Observer of London: “They are not mobile germ warfare laboratories. You could not use them for making biological weapons. They do not even look like them. They are exactly what the Iraqis said they were—facilities for the production of hydrogen gas to fill balloons.”
