Janice, please read the link before responding. Regardless of how you feel about Clinton, this is important stuff. According to UNSCOM, Saddam's ability to wage CBW can be implemented very quickly, and the description of the weapons in Saddam's arsenal is truly frightening. Here is just one extract from the report:

"The Al Hakam BW factory ... was able to produce 50,000 litres of anthrax and bolutinum. ... One hundred kilograms of anthrax released from the top of a small building in a densely populated area could kill up to three million people." and later

Iraq has not accounted for "17 tonnes of growth media for BW agents - enough to produce more than three times the amount of anthrax Iraq admits it had."

It might be nice if we could differentiate between the trivial and the truly important issues of the day.
