Not even in its wildest accusations has the Bush administration suggested that Iraq or any other member of its "axis of evil" has access to the smallpox virus.

"What most troubles U.S officials today, however, is the fear that the Soviet Union may have shared with Iraq smallpox that it weaponized by the ton in the 1970s and 1980s." (from the International Herald Tribune)

"This week the Israeli government announced that it has begun vaccinating some 1,500 health workers against an outbreak of smallpox launched by Saddam." (NewsMax.com)

"TONY BLAIR rushed through an order for 16 million doses of the smallpox vaccine after Dick Cheney, the American Vice-President, warned him that a military attack on Iraq would be met by a biological terror onslaught on Britain." (from the Telegraph)

"The agents of concern with Iraq have to be the organisms that cause anthrax, tularemia, brucellosis, and smallpox." (Richard O. Spertzel, head of bioweapons inspections from UNSCOM, 1994-98, at a hearing before the House Committee on International Relations)

But of course, Charley Reese knows better, though the use of an internet search engine seems to be beyond his capabilities.

I don't agree with reese...
I just dont think smallpox is all they have in view with this "plan".

We need to consider our "stored goods" in case of something more diabolic is envisioned... without panicking., of course.
