West Nile virus confirmed in Chicago burbs

"The virus first appeared in New York in 1999 and has since been detected in 28 states, as far west as Iowa, Louisiana and Missouri."

Salman Pak: In 1985, the CDC sent three shipments of West Nile Fever virus to Iraq for use in medical research. Valerie Kuklenski, "Western Firms Supplied Iraq with Chemical Weapons," UPI, October 2, 1990.

Finally! Thanks for the documentation.

Also: "Skinner, the CDC spokesman, said the cycle of the disease and its transmission — from mosquitoes to birds and to people — is what one would expect with West Nile. "All of that points to this being a naturally occurring outbreak," he said."

Why wouldn't a bio terrorist weapon rely upon "natural" cycles? The terrorists couldn't come up with a better way to hide the act AND the cycle continues....."

could going to war with Iraq be the only way we can get put an end to all the chemical weapons we provided them?

More likely, Cuba. Cuba's doing West Nile research longer than anyone else... if anyone thinks this problem is limited to enemies in the middle east they're kidding themselves.
