The United States acknowledged it will miss -- by more than three years -- an important international deadline for destroying its arsenal of chemical weapons.
The US Defense Department said in a statement it will not to able to liquidate 45 percent of its chemical stockpile by April 29, 2004, as required by the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention.
"The United States is therefore requesting the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) grant an extension of the 45 percent destruction deadline," the statement said.
The military is now expected to be ready to reach the required milestone by December 2007, the Pentagon said.
No detailed explanation for the postponement was given. But the department pointed out that its chemical demilitarization program "has had several delays due to unresolved political and operational issues that forced operational shutdowns or postponed start-up dates."

Its probably a red herring. They are more than happy to talk about stuff like this to keep the attention off of the really really secret and nasty stuff they have else where.

How long had the black bird been in operation before we knew about it? The stealth bomber?

Every time 1 thing becomes declassified, you can bet there are 10 more that just got developed that we wont hear about for 20 years....

Denial about the fact that we are doing the same damn thing that Iraq was doing a few months ago. Jesus Gonz, do you really think we get to make the rules and then not even follow them ourselves?

We ignored the UN & said we didn't have them? We used them on our people? We used them on our enemy? We said they were destroyed already? We hid them?

Ok, we've known since 97 that we had to get rid of them, now it's six years later, and less than a year to the day we need to get rid of 45% of our weapons, and we can't do it. How is that a remedy?

OK, so we couldn't do it in 6, what makes you think we'll do it in ten? It's just a cop out.
