"Is the U.S. Government making anthrax bombs in Utah?
by Ted McDonough
In March 1988, Saddam Hussein unloaded some of his Pandora’s box of chemical weapons on the Kurdish village of Halabja. As many as 5,000 were killed by nerve agents believed to have included VX, a poison so deadly that a single drop the size of a pinhead can cause death minutes after touching the skin.
By forcing all the body’s nerves to fire continuously, causing all of a victim’s involuntary muscles to contract, VX leads to racing heart, drooling, vomiting, gut spasms and, finally, death by asphyxiation.
Fifteen years later, in 2003, that attack was still cited as a reason to force Iraq to get rid of its arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, then believed to additionally include giant fermentors used to grow deadly bacteria such as anthrax and botulinum. Civilized countries, including the United States, had sworn off such weapons a generation earlier and were busy dismantling Cold War-era chemical and biological weapons factories.
Much of the job of destroying America’s WMD stockpile took place in Utah’s west desert at the Deseret Chemical Depot, 12 miles south of Tooele. In March 2005, the depot celebrated its milestone destruction of the millionth VX-filled munition. The date of the announcement coincided nicely with a worldwide celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, when more than 150 countries pledged to never again make weapons of mass destruction."
http://www.slweekly.com/article.cfm/justtestingWhat is Bush THINKING to work on this crap? I live in Utah, and I find this quite disturbing. And how is this in any way related to the War on Terror?
IMO, Bush has gone 'round the bend and is now totally, completely, and certifiably insane.
