SADDAM'S ANTHRAX - MADE IN THE U.S.A.!
Middle East Realities Internet Magazine (http://www.MiddleEast.org)
The disingenuous of American officials -- The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense at the top of the list -- is quite mindboggling.
Albright and Cohen have taken to ranting and raving in recent weeks about "Saddam's weapons of mass destruction." Cohen has been carting around 5-pound bags of sugar -- enough Anthrax to kill half of Washington we are warned! And they've been showing emotive picture from Halabja in 1988, Albright telling us how much she cares about the people of Iraq!
But there's a major problem with all this; and neither Albright or Cohen have come clean so far.
American officials are understandably hesitant to get into details,rather reluctant to talk about what was really going on just 10 years ago when the American-instigated war between Iraq and Iran was still rageing. And here's why.
Ten years ago, at the time of Halabja, American officials were not only not condemning Saddam, they were courting him, financing him,praising him, and arming him! The USA was very much a complicitous party to Halabja when and after it happened.
And what about the great Saddam Anthrax threat?
It now comes to light that that too has a "Made in the U.S.A." sticker!
If Albright or Cohen have any doubts, all they have to do is get in their limos and head over to a company known as American Type Culture Collection, just a few miles and a few minutes away in Rockville, Maryland.
Over lunch they could discuss how ATCC, with U.S. Government knowledge and blessings, sent 3 different lethal strains of deadly Anthrax to Iraq in 1986 and 1987!
Maybe its time to have a few more sanctions and inspections -- these in the Washington area!
