Broes; I want the attack on not only our lives (about 6000, not 1) but our way of life stopped whatever it takes. If it means using our most powerful weapons then so be it.

I'd rather learn that Iraq is behind the current biological attack. Then the gloves come off and we can put an end to Sadaam Husein once and for all.

Incorrect, Ispar.

"The disease was completely eradicated from the earth by 1977. Today, the smallpox virus exists only in two freezers, one in Moscow, Russia, and the other in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

There is evidence that certain countries may have harvested smallpox for use in weapons, threatening to revive a plague for which vaccines are no longer produced. Ironically, the danger smallpox would pose to a targeted population stems in part from the success medical science has enjoyed in battling the virus."

Toad, even those should be destroyed. The only reason no one has used small pox in bio-war is its highly contagious thru a sneeze, so using it would be like committing Nuclear suicide, it would be a doomsday for all except the lucky few that got the small amount of vaccine available.

Gee... if I was reading Intel at the NSC, I'd be paying particular attention to what the locals in the middle east are buying for antibiotics, and what vaccinations are being administered to the ranking Towelheads.

Obviously; before you start a Bio-War, you need to be sure the stuff you use doesn't come home to hurt your compadres.

Vis-a-vis; I wonder what EXACTLY is in this season's flu shot, being distributed right now in this country...

And, FWIW; I still say we oughta toast those turkeys with an unscheduled sunrise if they even mumble 'biohazard' in the toejamter.

But thats just me. Being a bloodthirsty savage is decidedly outta style this millenium in the USA. Go figure.

No doubt, somebody will manage to flip the 'manditory retaliation' switch before their finger rots off their hand and only AFTER he's techniclay dead from the other sides bugs.

Have a nice day.
