A Tiny Revolution: Anthrax And The Iraq War
Colin Powell felt he was tricked by Bush and the pre-9-11 Iraq War Planners. Is is possible that there was a deliberte plan to steal or destroy Iraq'a records of destroying their Anthrax? How much would it take to bribe an Iraq Official to hand over the destruction of Anthrax records? That Iraq official would have had no idea of the chain of events to follow.
Once the pre-9-11 Iraq War planners had made sure that the Iraq Anthrax destruction records were not available, or were destroyed, Then it was important to create an Anthrax Scare, so the missing records of the Iraq Anthrax destruction could be exaggerated into some big deal!
Bruce Ivins was a key player in the Pre-9-11 Iraq war planning scheme. Without the 2001 Anthrax scare in the US, Colin Powells speech would not have had as much effect on World Opinion.
Connect the Dots. What a different picture of cause and effect.
"ANTHRAX: Powell noted Iraq had declared it produced 8,500 liters of the biological agent anthrax before 1991. None has been "verifiably accounted for," he said.
No anthrax has been reported found, post-invasion. The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), in a confidential report last September (five months before the Powell speech) said that although it believed Iraq had biological weapons it didn't know their nature, amounts, or condition."
AP Staffer Fact-Checks Powell's UN Speech
"Anthrax
Powell noted Iraq had declared it produced 8,500 liters of the biological agent anthrax before 1991, but U.N. inspectors estimated it could have made up to 25,000 liters. None has been "verifiably accounted for," he said.
No anthrax has been reported found.
The Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA, in a confidential report last September, recently disclosed, said that although it believed Iraq had biological weapons, it didn't know their nature, amounts or condition.
Three weeks before the invasion, an Iraqi report of scientific soil sampling supported the regime's contention that it had destroyed its anthrax stocks at a known site, the U.N. inspection agency said May 30. Iraq also presented a list of witnesses to verify amounts, the agency said. It was too late for inspectors to interview them; the war soon began."
