Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

I read that, and the reason for the gloss is that the Anthrax documents are public. Anyone can view them. Iraq got samples of barnyard varieties of several biological agents that are harmful to humans, as did a lot of other countries where the organisms were a problem. 97 countries was the number I believe. If Iraq went to the trouble to weaponize it, then perhaps we should not have included them. But why go to the trouble of all that when their main supplier already had the best weaponized strain in the world. All they needed to do then was grow it. At the time of the Gulf war, Iraq was not in the business of designing biologic agents, they were however very much in the business of growing them.

As to the Yellow Cake document, it is sad that it happened. But then I guess we need to look at the source. Then we need to look at the buyer. I would assume that the heads are already rolling over at the Central Stupidity Agency.
