So while our troops are fighting in Iraq, have you ever
wondered where the anthrax Saddam surpassingly had come from? We all know that
in the end it came from the United States during the 1980’s when we supplied
Saddam with the chemical in order to fight Iran, but we can now trace it back
even further. From this mornings
London Times:

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.

The odyssey of the Iraqi anthrax was unravelled by Geoffrey
Holland, a politics student and antiwar campaigner at the University of Sussex.
The exact batch chosen by Saddam was disclosed in the CIA report by Charles
Duelfer, the former UN weapons inspector, last autumn.

“Iraq declared researching different strains of B.
anthracis, but settled on the American Type Culture Collection strain 14578 as
the exclusive strain for use as a BW,” Mr Duelfer said.

A congressional investigation into Gulf War syndrome by Don
Riegle had already uncovered invoices showing that this batch was shipped from
the United States between 1986 and 1988.

So there you have it. We already know that Bush tries to
disprove science and it is one of the many enemies his policies always face, but
now it is an enemy that his war faces. We got the anthrax from the U.K. In turn
we sent it to Iraq. Now we are in Iraq along with the U.K. because of “weapons
of mass destruction”. Pretty good trick. We created the threat so we could wage
war years later.
