What really happened to Iraq's biological weapons? This is a mind staggering amount, imagine the trillions of germs contained in a liter bottle of soda. What was the ultimate disposition of these weapons, do we have proof? Anthrax (dried spores) is a hardy bacteria, antidotal evidence suggests it can survive a 100 years. What is buried in undetectable plastic containers in the sands of Iraq? What is stored in neighboring countries? Can the readers link to a news story answering these questions? I could not find the answers.

Some destroyed most went to Syria... probably some got to Al-queida and it is just a matter of time before they will try and use them...

Why aren't we hearing about this in the MSM? Bush had better bring this up tonigt; if not, I would seriously entertain the idea that he is sabotaging his re-election bid.

Isn't it obvious that all of the botulism toxin (BOTOX) went into Kerry's face.

Hard call, to say the least. What bothers me is how easily the world is discounting the very strong possibility that many of SH's weapons, went over the border into Syria for prompt burial. There also exists the possibility that weapons may still be deep down under in Iraq, yet to be discovered. There are all still viable possibilities ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR.

The number of possible scenarios is endless really, but the scare factor is that the holders of these stockpiles could just be waiting for the war on terror to weaken (ala Kerry becomes President) before the holders open up the weapons for sale to richest terror organization.....

Yet the mindless masses that keep saying "the war on terror is not important" will be the first to suffer if the premise is correct. As the long standing saying has it...we have to be RIGHT ALL THE TIME in our decisions...the TERRORISTS ONLY HAVE TO BE RIGHT ONCE !!!!!

when I eat jalapeno white castles and some onion chips with horseradish mustard, I qualify as a biological weapon :)

What really happened to Iraq's biological weapons?

Do I understand that some of the rationale for saying "It was all destroyed a decade ago" is based on interviewes with Saddam? Do we not think Saddam knows how to influence an American election? Does Saddam not know that his best ticket out of prison is a Kerry election?

Shalom.

Years ago, when this thing first surfaced, I remember that there were reports of Saddam getting rid of a lot of his WMD's by hired squads taking them out and burying them in the desert sand. Then when those men would return they would be shot and killed so there would be no trace back to the buried WMD's.

Saddam was awfully fond of burying stuff.

If you read the ISG's Report Summary, there's a lot of assumptions that S/H didn't do the logical thing with his C/B weapons program (like make C/B weapons).

I agree with tomnbeverly- they're in the Baaka Valley and in the hands of al Queda.

Remember the foiled attack on Amman?  Who else in that region has the ability to produce those C/B weapons?  Maybe the Israelis gave it to al-Q?

my brother had a novel idea - maybe they were burning in the smoke of those oil fires around baghdad before the war.

considering that the total cache of Iraq's WMD would fit in anyone's two car garage in a country the size of CA, the WMD may still be in Iraq, Iran, Syria or could have been dumped in the Euphrates river...but the most important WMD was found when we captured Saddam Hussein and we know he doesn't have the the chemicals anymore...And that's the most important factor!!!

"What really happened to Iraq's biological weapons?"

The highest-ranking official to confirm that WMDs went to Syria is James Clapper Jr., the head of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency. He “said satellite images showing a heavy flow of traffic from Iraq into Syria just before the American invasion in March had led him to believe ‘unquestionably’ that illicit weapons material was moved outside Iraq”

I am always surprised to hear people say that these weapons are easily moved or hidden, yet still insist that invading Iraq was an effective countermeasure to them.

US scientists have determined that the anthrax in the letters received in the United States came from the Ames strain, which was discovered in Iowa in 1980.

Interesting time line. Someone should ask Jimmy Carter about which strain of anthrax he gave Hussein.

08/14/80 (20 each), Ministry of Health for College, Bacteria/ Fungi, not further identified 09/11/80 (45 each), University of Baghdad, Bacteria/Fungi/ Protozoa, Virus/Viroids (15 each), not further identified

We can't find the biological weapons for one reason: This is President Bush's fault! John Kerry and John Edwards have a Plan to find the biologic weapons Saddam Hussein didn't have.

The bugs for a biological WMD program could have been put on dry ice or in liquid nitrogen in a couple of coolers and driven in the back seat of a car to Syria. I have grown bacteria that were lyophilized (freeze-dried) 20 years earlier.
