And to reply before the standard right-wing reaction comes:

If you argue that these weapons were not going to be used for terrorism at any time, your justification for the Iraqi war falls into pieces.

" The Times has in its report said that an ear of the dead cow, was sent to an English laboratory, where scientists discovered anthrax spores later used for developing Britain's biological warfare programme during WWII.

The report said that the culture was sent to the US, which sent them to Iraq in the 1980s to help the latter fight Iran. The Anthrax spores were reportedly Saddam Hussien's preferred choice for developing Iraq's biological arsenal. "

If the NY times said it...it must be true....

Default \"Patriots\" at it again

Why do guys like you waste time posting? You don't have anything at all to say, other than "the reported facts don't conform to my worldview but I don't know enough to challenge them."

US support for Saddam's biological weapons program has been a matter of public record for years, last making the press when the UN redacted the names of the corporations -- reportedly at White House insistence -- that helped him that were listed in Iraq's (largely truthful, we know now) WMD report. Typing "u.s. export irag biological" into Google, it took me about two seconds to find a detailed report of these exports and the assistance given them by the U.S. government here (the second hit).

Nobody disputes that too many self-styled "patriots" are too gullible, too lazy, or too racist to question the official line about recent U.S. wars. We already know that this kind of criminal irresponsibiliyt has lead to millions of horrible, pointless deaths, with some 30,000-50,000 added to the tally in Iraq. You don't need to keep reminding us by posting, in effect, "I'm depraved."

I guess for you to believe anything contrary to Bush's message it has to be said at a press conference with Bush from his mouth or in any of Bush's speeches [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img].
