IRAQI SUPERFUND Clean-up
Aside from providing the military planners targeting data of Iraq's WMD facilities or Special Operations mission rehearsals, commercial Imagery of Baghdad's weapons facility reveals one thing very clearly - There is already enough polution in Iraq to rival that of the U.S. Superfund Cleanup. This does not include the mess that might be created by a war with Iraq as a result of dirty bombs or chemical attacks on the part of the Iraqis. The post-war reconstruction of Iraq will be costly and the environmental clean-up could potentially cost tens of billions of dollars.
