The Biologic agents were provided in good faith under a program that was intended to help free the world from these organisms. It was a program developed at the UN in conjunction with the CDC. Was it done in poor judgment, I think so. But you link this to the use of Chemical weapons, and those would fall at the feet of the Soviets, and were manufactured in French supplied plants. Also the US never supplied the equipment to make large quantities of these agents. Again, this would be the French and Germans. Sure, they may have thought that the equipment was for other uses. But now that it is time to put a stop to this foolishness, where are the three main suppliers.

In closing, at least America has the fortitude to put and end to this madness. We will end the reign of this particular despot. Which is a hell of a lot more than France wanted to do.

Poor judgement is a bit of an understatement. I would prefer to use criminally stupid.

I don't link them to chemical weapons, I just pointed out the shipments continued after the gassing of Kurds, by a horrible murderous tyrant.

See my point really is this-

You sit there and spout stuff about how bad the French are in arming this complete anus of a man ("Remember they are the bastards that sold this tyrant a breeder reactor."), while claiming the US has has been almost perfect in its handling of Iraq over the Last 30 years ("but we do not supply advanced weapons to despots") and here's hard evidence the US started Saddam's biological weapons program, which you dismiss with a "poor judgement" and a "the US never supplied the equipment to make large quantities of these agents".
Its weak, very weak.

Oh...the cultures was sent by both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (government)
and the American Type Culture Collection (approved by the government). The usatoday article lists who sent what.

Not supporting the arming of despots by anyone.

You seem to have skipped the Last part. America, England and Australia are putting an end to this jerk. What art the rest doing? Many are protecting their Iraqi cash cow.
