Is this writers statements debunked? He builds up a good case of saying WMDs were in Iraq but what he seems seems counter not just to the mainstream media but even conservative sources.
A good article in general but I don't know if I want to use its talking points if they are not altogether valid. To me, I do doubt some of the points and other points are of course, a bit on the murky side.
Thank you in advance.
Immediate treatment after discovery of infection requires a "slow kill" to dodge a herxheimer reaction and to maintain the killing effort as the spores germinate. If you go too fast, the patient succumbs from sudden bacterial toxins released by the killed organisms.
Skin infections proceed more slowly, but eventually can proceed toward bacteremia.
It's pretty low tech stuff. Kitchen table warfare. Unfortunately, nobody controls the wind. Infections can't always be treated successfully.
“Saddam had already completed construction of an anthrax production facility”
sez who?
If the Iraqis would’ve pulled off the whole “crop duster Anthrax attack” thing we would’ve nuked them into glass. I simply do not see Sadaam even contemplating such a thing for an instant. He was not insane. Just a dude who wanted to stay alive and in power. Attacking the US would be suicidal in every respect. This article is absurd.

Thank heaven for embedded reporters. I still remember, and a few people here do too, I think, that during the invasion they captured a chemical plant which manufactured nerve agent. The plant manager was an Iraqi Army general, the plant was secured by Iraqi troops, surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers.
Then a couple of days later it was announced that, no, come to find out, it isn’t nerve agent at all, its agricultural pesticide. Our mistake.
Later, 3 or 4 more times, they would capture Iraqi Army ammo dumps and find barrels of nerve agent. At one location the reporters got sick from exposure. And then, a couple of days later, our mistake again. Its agricultural pesticide. At an ammo dump.
I thought then, who has the power to make nerve agent disappear just by renaming it? At a time when Bush’s presidency hung in the balance on just that issue, who had that power?
Without the embedded reporters, none of us would know about it, and it has gone right down the memory hole since then.
One more thing. We know, they keep telling us there is no relationship between Bin Ladin and Saddam. But we have minutes from a meeting right before 911 where Saddam tells his council to expect a false flag attack on the US.
One more thing: Bin Ladin was recruited by Zawahiri and his men, and they became Bin Ladin’s inner circle, others have commented that once they came into the picture you couldn’t get to him without going through them. And who were they? They were Egyptian Islamic Jihad. EIJ was on Saddam’s payroll. So the connection between Bin Ladin and Saddam is not really a secret, it has been hiding in plain sight all along, and everyone agrees to pretend not to notice it.
