active strains, actually would've — were still active when we found them — Botulinum toxin, one of the most toxic elements known.

Of course we can all make this at home if we know something about canning David, but you build it up okay. Since you've had no luck finding 29,984 munitions or all those other tons and liters of WMDs Bush talked about, may as well base your entire argument on something anyone that cans could accidently make...and a whole vial at that!! Simply bone chilling....

Okay, we'll put you down as not minding being the target of a botulinum toxin attack since it's such a minor biological weapon.

And Clinton talked about and Hans Blix talked about. The belief in saddam's WMD programs was widespread and not confined to the Bush administration. And from what Kay has found so far, it is clear that Saddam was ready to ramp up his weapons programs on the day after U.N. inspectors declared he was clean and went home. His intent was to wear down the will of the U.N. to monitor him, then start right up again once they gave up. That was Clinton's belief, and Bush shared it.

I'm actually surprised you even made an appearance on this thread, since Mr. Kay did a fine job of making your routine childish comments look especially asanine.

What nonsense.

Tell me two things what would be the abundance of botulism compared to other bacteria one can run in to in canning and two, how do you separate the botulism from other microorganisms?
