Cynical?... not quite sure how to call it. Imagining US agents paying an Iraqi scientist to store a vial for 10 years - in case we ever "need" it - is rather funny... -g

No, I think that the stuff is genuine. Army surplus since the "conflict" with the Kurds.

<already found a vial of botulinum toxin>

And it only cost 300M$ to get that much done. Just think what they can come up with, for the next 600M$ in funding.

CNN- May 17, 2009- Major General Makework, head of the Iraqi WMD search team (Version 7.1), announced today he was asking for an additional $3.7B in funding, for the next fiscal year. "We're making steady progress, in uncovering the bad thoughts about concepts for weapons programs of the Baathists. This last fiscal year, we've documented solid evidence. No, we aren't making any public report, our findings are too preliminary for that."
