WHAT SCHRODER COVERED UP:
Astonishing piece in the Frankfurter Allgemeiner Zeitung today. Just before the German elections last year, German intelligence found very serious evidence of Iraq's stockpiling of smallpox bioweapons. The report came with a "high degree of confidence." The piece alleges that Schroder helped bury the report, so as not to get him off-message during his anti-American campaign. I'm afraid I can't seem to find the story in the English language edition of the FAZ. But here's the German version.

Green Party member and German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer apologized for violence he committed as a militant young leftist radical following revelations of photos of him beating a downed police officer in 1973.
Prior to this statement, Fischer had said he did not regret his violent social actions against an extremely conservative Germany.
Conservatives have called for his resignation since the photos were reproduced. Gunther Beckstein of the Bavarian Christian Social Union said Fischer "is no longer tenable as Germany's representative abroad." Wolfang Bosbach, deputy parliamentary leader of the Christian Democrats, said "Anyne who behaved like that is no representative of a violence-free civil society."
Fischer will testify January 16 in the Frankfurt trial of Hans-Joachim Klein, a friend of his who is charged with three counts of murder and three of attempted murder in a 1985 attack on an OPEC ministers' meeting in Vienna. That attack was led by Ilich Ramirez Sanchez (Carlos the Jackal), who has been in jail since he was captured in France in 1998 after 23 on the run.

. During interrogation, Carlos asserted that his deputy for the OPEC operation had been German terrorist Hans Joachim Klein, codenamed "Angie," who had killed an OPEC security man and an Austrian policeman during that attack. Carlos also testified that the weapons used for the OPEC operation had been kept in an apartment in Frankfurt/Main, where Klein was then living with two other "red revolutionaries" of those days, Daniel Cohn-Bendit and Joschka Fischer

Camel pox is a concern because doctors say that it wouldn't take very many genetic alterations to make humans susceptible to it. And I believe they think that the regular smallpox vaccine wouldn't be effective against it.

I just think that it is really interesting that we've delayed whilst letting Germany, France, Belgium, Russia, and all the loony lefties climb way far out on a limb, and now, right when we are getting close to the time where things are actually ready to start, we are starting to see the saws come out. Saws MADE in GERMANY, no less! There are some interesting people working in some interesting places for whom I am growing an increasing amount of respect.

Bio terror
Federal Government concealed danger
Of Michael Inacker
The Federal Government kept obviously for months realizations secret, according to which the Iraq threatens Germany over biological massenvernichtungswaffen ordered and with them.
In a government paper from 9 August of the past yearly, which is present the Frankfurt general Sunday newspaper, of attacks with smallpox viruses, which up to 25 million Germans could fall to the victim, should no sufficient inoculation protection is warned be present. The Nichtveroeffentlichung of the paper feeds the suspicion, the red-green coalition few weeks before the election to the Bundestag the actual threat by the Iraq concealed and informs further the public not completely about the extent of the threat.
With the paper it acts around a collecting main out of the Federal Department of Health, which was distributed according to fax identification broadly in the Federal Government and among other things since 12 August also the Federal Ministry of the Interior admits was. Because of the acute threat by the Iraq so the procurement of smallpox vaccine for the entire population should be justified.
"documented realizations"
According to the collecting main, as by the government it was so far maintained vague references are not only appropriate for the "German security agencies" forwards, but "documented realizations" that the Iraq has bio agents. In the paper it is called further that smallpox exciters are stored outside of official American and Russian laboratories "illegaly" among other things in the "Iraq and in North Korea". Likewise "there is reference on the fact that groups of terror strive for the production of biological agents". For the case of an American military strike against Bagdad it is "to fear" that the Iraq reacts "with it the available the biological agents, thus also to smallpox viruses,".
The extent of the threat for Germany is for the first time openly described in the paper. "with one - the one which can be excluded no longer surely - attack within the range of the bio terrorism" is the "most devastating scenario" a notice with smallpox exciters. Without inoculation protection "would be to be counted on 30 to 40 per cent deaths, i.e. about 25 million humans alone in the Federal Republic". It is called, "the public life further in the case of an epidemic disease before the deadly effects of the epidemic still on the day of becoming known would already break down".
"an extraordinary danger"
In the meantime the Federal Government arranged the full supply of vaccines, which is to be guaranteed by March. Also a bio attack outside of Germany is dangerous: "a release of smallpox viruses somewhere differently in the world represents an extraordinary danger for Germany due to the extremely easy transferability of the exciters and the mobility of the population of world."
The Ministry of Health confirmed the existence of the collecting main, pointed out however that one had selected a drastic language, over in the budget committee "funds for vaccines to briskly free-get". The number of the dead ones is exaggerated and only then would apply if all inhabitants was infected, which is "completely unrealistic". The minister transferred the collecting main for a speech note in the budget committee in November, painted however most passages over the Iraq and the effects of an attack. The FDP chairman Westerwelle, who for a long time already said the Federal Government for it criticized that she varnishes the danger, to this newspaper: "the threat situation by the Iraq is far more serious, than the government to admit wants."

Camel pox and smallpox are very closely related. In fact, many think it's the camelpox Saddam has had weaponized.

Maybe Shroeder will end up like the Korean kook who paid off Kim mentally Il for a summit (and Nobel Prize) both on done on false pretense.
It was a disgruntled intel analyst that embarrassed the whole friggin government of S. Korea. Now they have no clout, and are embarrassed, people think they are full of ... AND on top of that, they have been apologizing for a few weeks already. They are going down in history as Clintonites.
Schroeder don't want none of that, but hopefully he will get some.

From #74:
In the meantime the Federal Government arranged the full supply of vaccines, which is to be guaranteed by March.
Note that their stockpile of vaccine will be completed by March--and we know from your earlier article, piasa, that they started innoculating their doctors in January--so that's probably completed.
When the administration says they expect a new resolution soon, maybe they know that the German position has only been temporary until the stockpile is completed. Maybe these guys have been playing Rope-A-Saddam...
