That's right. I made a specific rebuttal to tejek's post. Posters, yourself included have been able to convincingly rebutt every aspect of that initial rebuttal except one remaining item...botullinum. Well, that's progress. We've been able to convince you that 75% of what you thought you knew was BS. The rest is too by the way...but I am tired of the debate. Al

except one remaining item...botullinum Not mentioned in the Faux news report is the fact that the vial found was botullinum type B. When Iraq investigated this toxin for use as an agent of war they used botullinum type A, and so this particular vial would not be a reconstitution of their war effort. (Type B would have a differnt method of culturing and produces less toxin). Type B is the most common type of botulism bacteria in the soil. Inspector report: ruleta.nazory.cz The significance of the finding of botulinum toxin type B on a fermenter probe at Al Hakam remains unclear. There is no evidence available to UNMOVIC that Iraq imported Clostridium botulinum type B strain. Given that type A is more toxic, it is difficult to explain the need for this strain. Contamination from local sources is one possible explanation.
