Even with the mass media playing the Madelyn ToGood tape over and over of her spanking here child, this story is not going away.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20021001/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_iraq_bioweapons_6

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent samples directly to several Iraqi sites that U.N. weapons inspectors determined were part of Saddam Hussein's biological weapons program, CDC and congressional records from the early 1990s show. Iraq had ordered the samples, claiming it needed them for legitimate medical research.

Oh my God!!! This is ten million times worse than Iran Contra! So now we have to blow up Saddam for the weapons we sold him?.... Good Lord!

Or this story..

WASHINGTON - American research companies, with the approval of two previous presidential administrations, provided Iraq biological cultures that could be used for biological weapons, according to testimony to a U.S. Senate committee eight years ago.
West Nile Virus, E. coli, anthrax and botulism were among the potentially fatal biological cultures that a U.S. company sent under U.S. Commerce Department licenses after 1985, when Ronald Reagan was president, according to the Senate testimony.

Bring on the investigations! How many treaties did this violate?

Dual use technology is a major problem in enforcing the CWC and BWC. That is nothing new. I will be interested to see what becomes of this however. At this point it looks like a non-story for a slow news day.

That wacky Saddam. One minute he's on our side, then he's threatening us with our own nasty stuff. Aren't there any trustworthy despots anymore?

stuff wasn't given to him for "research".
It was to be used on Iran during the war. Back then we hated Iran more then Iraq.

So we're handing out WMD to despots around the world and raise hoopla over a president getting a BJ.
Usual.

Yer gonna tell me Clinton gave him West Nile Virus, E. coli, anthrax and botulism too Cabb.. er Ripsnort?

Sikboy, violation of the 1928 chemical non proliferation treaty is a non story?.. Wow! I think it blows Iran-contra out of the water! If their capable of doing this what else are they capable of? This adds a whole new log to the fire.. Is Saddam developing chemical weapons?.. well no he simply buys them from Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr.

Unbelievable!

No wonder we spent a week talking about a woman spanking her kid.. They desperately want this story off the front page.

Oh man, this is good. Ok first of all, you should probably try to use the most relevent treaty if you want to get pissed about things. I would start with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) which enetered into force in 1997. But this isn't a clear violation of that. If you are referening to the aspects of the Geneva protocals that pertain to the use of chemical and biological weapons, this is clearly not a violation, since that document concerns itself only with the USE of these weapons by a nation.

Or were you refering to some other treaty?

Like I said, I'd be interesting to see where the story goes, but at this point, and with the information presented thus far, it is a non story.

You guys knew he was a shrecking nutcase, but you happened to hate Iran more, so you didn't give a damn. And besides, who cares about the Kurds when Turkey's support is at stake?

You don't give a serial child molester the keys to the primary school and expect him to behave, do you?

The guy is an admirer of Stalin, for god's sake!

Shouldn't he use the treaty that was in effect at the time of the transgretion?

He could, but that would leave him without a legal case. Better to leave treaties out of it in that case.

i heard that back in the korean war truman ordered US troops to use machine guns , artillery, and even napalm to stop chinese "human wave" attacks, does anyone have proof of this?

also in WW2 i heard the USA actualy gave england "weapons of war" and england used the "weapons of war" to kill germans, is this true?
