Chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix criticized Iraq on Monday for not declaring a drone some U.S. officials say may be a "smoking gun" but said his disarmament teams still had to determine if it was legal.

U.S. officials have faulted Blix for not speaking more about the existence of a drone in his generally upbeat oral report to the council last Friday. But Blix said, "Everyone tries to squeeze us to get as much mileage as they can."

"Iraq should have declared this vehicle ... and they did not," Blix told reporters after closed-door council consultations where he was questioned on the drone.

Below is a picture of the suspect drone:

Anyways.... That drone is just the tip of the iceburg! Look what else they've dug up!

This last one is a shocker, as we we see the potentially deadly consequences of a sarin gas explosion during a missile test involving kidnapped SoCal children:

We better bomb them. I mean that drone can do what much faster and bigger fighter-bombers can't be modified to do.

My understanding is that it isn't a "spy drone", but a drone capable of dispursing chemical or biological agents. BIG difference.
