He repeatedly says the threat is "immediate" but then offers no serious, credible evidence that is so.

I know. You all want to see satellite images of scud missiles pointed at Florida, with nuclear warheads.

The fact that all the medical personnel in Israel are being inoculated for smallpox tells you nothing. The smallpox vaccine kills people, but it's less of a danger than a smallpox epidemic. The World Health Organization declared smallpox to be eradicated in 1980. Iraqi military are routinely inoculated for smallpox.

Connect the dots. Think!

>> Emergency Workers Inoculated Against Smallpox

AP
Wednesday, September 18, 2002

Israel is continuing to prepare for a possible attack by Iraq.

A Tel Aviv hospital has started inoculating emergency workers against smallpox, after last
month's government decision to inoculate 15-thousand of the workers.

Israel is responding to growing tensions between the United States and Saddam Hussein.
Those tensions are reviving memories of the 1991 Gulf War, during which Iraq fired
missles at Israel.

The deputy defense minister says Israel is well-prepared for an Iraqi attack with chemical
or biological weapons. He even says it would be easier for Iraq to carry out a successful
biological attack on the U-S than on Israel.

Meantime, there are reports that sales of air filters, tranquilizers and bottled water are up
across Israel. <<
