OK. Assuming you are right about the sarin and the anthrax, then what about the botullinum?

Let's see, no centrifuges, no sarin, no anthrax....what's left? oh yeah....botox...

I am really suprised that not a shred of WMDs was found in Iraq.

I'm not surprised because I think Saddam still had any. WMDs may have made sense against mass infrantry attacks by Iran, but it made no sense to keep them once his butt was kicked in Bush war 1, it would only hurt his chance to get sanctions lifted. Instead I am surprised because it would have been so easy for a covert team to stuff a rack of vials into the refrigerator of some dead family and then claim they found them.

I'm sure the adminstration would have planted evidence if they could. They were, after all, more than willing to lie about hydrogen-generation trailers for artillary balloons and try for many months to pass them off as mobile biological weapon laboratories. I can only imagine that they could not find a team corrupt enough to carry out such a mission.

botullinum?
While it is true that the U.S. sent such cultures to Iraq, the only botulism found after Bush war 2 was in the spoiled food in those failed refrigerators of the dead families.
