Top American scientists assigned to the weapons hunt in Iraq found no evidence former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's regime was making or stockpiling smallpox, The Associated Press has learned from senior military officers involved in the search.

Smallpox fears were part of the case the Bush administration used to build support for invading Iraq -- and they were raised again as recently as last weekend by Vice President Dick Cheney.

But a three-month search by "Team Pox" turned up only signs to the contrary: disabled equipment that had been rendered harmless by UN inspectors, Iraqi scientists deemed credible who gave no indication they had worked with smallpox, and a laboratory thought to be back in use that was covered in cobwebs.

3. Why am I not surprised?

The anti-Iraq war crowd said there is no reason for the war. We were shouted down by people who said GWB wouldn't lie and Saddam had WMD's. Now there arn't any WMD's, American soldiers are coming home in body bags, Iraqi civilians and soldiers were needlessly killed and GWB told more lies then a 6 year old with his hands in the cookie jar.

5. Super.

How many were coerced into untested "NEW and IMPROVED" vaccines? How many had reactions? How many have insufficient health care and no legal recourse? Super.

Who needs railway cars that can be photographed, or documented death camps? The Nazis have learned much from their first genocidal foray.
