Wrong. You are getting confused and are failing to follow the argument. Geoode.. Since WHEN has it been argued that ONLY nuclear weapons fall under the WMD category?? WMDs are nuclear weapons. You may accept all the lies you wish about Anthrax, Sarin and the like but Dubyette was selling the public NUCLEAR weapons. Message 22641346 If they were the only qualifying ordnance that met that criteria, we wouldn't need to say WMD.. we'd just say "nuke".. A WMD is ANY WEAPON, but generally Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical, that is designed to cause mass destruction. Bush worried most about nuclear weapons from Iraq falling into the hands of terrorists (just as we do with Iran and N. Korea), but Cheney was SPECIFICALLLY worried about a Biological attack on the US. In fact, he worried to the extent that he ask for, and received Billions in funding to set up the Bio-shield initiative to stockpile smallpox and anthrax vaccines to be available to the public in case of such an attack: whitehouse.gov Hawk
