 JF>>>    All it would take to deliver it is a suitcase, or a

BK>>  And conventional bombs are capable of the same damage

 JF>   Conventional weapons capable of killing many thousands of

 Any bio weapon Saddam might have gotten would need those things.
 His chemical weapons most certainly did. Again, the attack on
 Halaja took 90 sorties, to kill 7000 people. That's a lot of
 sorties.

 To kill thousands with one weapon takes a nuke. At least with
 current technology. Remember, a chem weapon big enough to do
 that requires a huge transport system.


BK>>   BTW, we are talking chem weapons, so please
BK>>   drop the bio portion, it's deceptive.

 JF>   Saddam was also developing bio's, so please don't drop

 Not really. He did have some inactivated Anthrax,(dead), but
 nothing else.

 JF>   the bio portion, so you can more easily defend Saddam.

 And that is your false claim to divert from the real issue
 defense. No where is anyone here defending Saddam.

BK>>   If the chemical bomb takes a truck to deliver
BK>>   it, it's hard to sneak in under your jacket.

 JF>   'If' it takes a truck, sure.  However, enough Sarin gas

 How many movie theaters hold even one thousand people, less wise
 several thousand?

 JF>   to be concealed in a duffle bag or back pack, or under a

 And how much damage will that do? Remember the gas attacks on
 the Japanese subway only killed a few people.

 JF>   trench coat.  Again your attempt to write these things
 JF>   off just so you can defend Saddam and 'Get-Bush', is just
 JF>   plain silly, Bob.

 Your attempt to excuse Bush's screw up requires you to falsely
 accuse people of defending Saddam. If the truth defends Saddam
 then you truly are on the wrong side of this.
