Take anthrax, for example. Up until the not-so-distant past, you could have bought some and had it shipped to you via UPS. Did that make your supplier a purveyor of WMD's? No.
For the rest of you that are truly curious, (but not you, Buckeroo, because I suspect you are deliberately obscuring the difference), an anthrax spore is a naturally-occurring substance. It has research value. But in order to be weaponized, it must be milled into a powder fine enough to remain suspended in air.
The same Jekyll/Hyde aspect exists concerning other chem/bio agents and their pre-cursors. Thus, the term dual-use. duh
Buckeroo, my friends, cannot prove that the US sold weaponized chemical compounds or biological agents such as anthrax. I write this with a fair amount of certainty, because no one has been able to prove it, from the kook-left to the kook-right, where Buckeroo gladly resides.
I agree because Rumsfeld simply gave WMD to Saddam as a strategic policy decision cloaked as national security.
