smallpox virus or anthrax spores or ebola

This is the other possibility. Suppose we know where he has one or all of the above stored. We can't take a chance on him using it. If we hit it with conventional explosives we might scatter it into the air and release it.

The only choice would be to burn it in a Thermonuclear Hellfire.

I am sure that if Saddam uses a bio terror weapon that the correct choice would be to:

Bring it before the UN Human Rights Commission immediately and have them decide whether or not this should then be brought before the UN security council who must then determine what kind of collective punishment the world decides to bring up them for this act. Most likely the punishment will be lift the sanctions and pay the Iraqi scientists who'se programs we disrupted for 12 years all back pay due them for having their important work challenged....And then condemn both Israel and the US for causing this problem!

If Iraq sends even one biologically laden missile containing smallpox virus or anthrax spores Anthrax spores can't survive in the light of day, smallpox virus delivered that way would not be viable either. I don't know about ebola. Saddam has declared he doesn't want war and is cooperating to that end. "What more can we do" say the people of Iraq.
