Victor Lazlo, as you are so well informed, I assume you are aware that the reason the US knows that Iraq has biological weapons is because they gave the anthrax to Iraq when they were fighting against Iran. The US is far from blameless in any of this ... just like the European countries.... Regards stephen

Please read and study Victor: Jerusalem Post - December 30, 2002 The Washington Post reports today that during the 1980s the US administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague. [The full Washington Post article is on the US - Iraq Complicity Page.] The supply of such deadly items came during a time when the US was supporting Iraq's protracted war against Iran, the newspaper writes. It bases the information on a review of thousands of declassified government documents and interviews with former policymakers. "It was a horrible mistake then, but we have got it right now," Kenneth M. Pollack, a former CIA military analyst and author of "The Threatening Storm," which makes the case for war with Iraq, tells the newspaper. "My fellow [CIA] analysts and I were warning at the time that Hussein was a very nasty character. We were constantly fighting the State Department."
