Saddam, Anthrax & Republicans

From The Times Online: Saddam's germ war plot is traced back to one Oxford cow - By Dominic Kennedy A BRITISH cow that died in an Oxfordshire field in 1937 has emerged as the source of Saddam Hussain’s “weapons of mass destruction” programme that led to the Iraq war. An ear from the cow was sent to an English laboratory, where scientists discovered anthrax spores that were later used in secret biological warfare tests by Winston Churchill. The culture was sent to the United States, which exported samples to Iraq during Saddam’s war against Iran in the 1980s. Inspectors have found that this batch of anthrax was the dictator’s choice in his attempts to create biological weapons. The discovery has angered some British politicians. Austin Mitchell, the Labour MP for Great Grimsby, has renewed his call, supported by 126 MPs in the last Parliament, for a UN investigation into whether Washington broke a weapons control agreement. “It just makes them look more hypocritical than ever,” he said.

Surprise, surprise, the Reagan bunch gave Saddam the anthrax that was used for his biological weapons labs during the Iraq/Iran War.

Republicans = death. Republicans = war. Republicans = destruction.

Republicans = hypocrites.

Republicans have the unmitigated gall to talk about moral superiority when, given their track record, they would find it difficult to demonstrate moral superiority over a sewer rat.
