Another Bush lie about Iraq WMD gets flushed down the toilet.
And here are some of the lies spewed by the warmongers:
By The Associated Press
A look at comments made by Bush administration officials about Iraq
(news - web sites) and smallpox:
"One of the real concerns about Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), as
well, is his biological weapons capability, the fact that he may at
some point try to use smallpox, anthrax, plague, some other kind of
biological agent against other nations, possibly including even the
United States. So this is not just a one-dimensional threat." — Vice
President **** Cheney (news - web sites) on "Meet The Press," Sept. 8,
2002.
"There were at least seven of these mobile labs that he (Saddam
Hussein) had gone out and acquired. We've, since the war, found two of
them. They're in our possession today, mobile biological facilities
that can be used to produce anthrax or smallpox or whatever else." —
Cheney on NBC's "Meet the Press," Sept. 14, 2003.
"Saddam Hussein has investigated dozens of biological agents causing
diseases such as gas gangrene, plague, typhus, tetanus, cholera,
camelpox and hemorrhagic fever, and he also has the wherewithal to
develop smallpox." — Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web
sites), making a prewar presentation to the United Nations (news - web
sites), Feb. 5, 2003.
"There's got to be a plan, if we go to war with Iraq and if there is
some kind of smallpox epidemic, we've got to be prepared." — Health
and Human Services (news - web sites) Secretary Tommy Thompson, Nov.
22, 2002.
"Iraq and North Korea (news - web sites) are two of those countries
that more than likely have some smallpox virus. So we have to be
prepared." — Thompson in USA Today interview, Dec. 17, 2002.
