Iraq may have isolated a form of smallpox that affects camels. Oh NO, not Camel Pox, anything but that. Maybe Clinton had the right idea using those expensive cruise missles to shoot camels in the a$$. :)

Camel pox is a concern because doctors say that it wouldn't take very many genetic alterations to make humans susceptible to it. And I believe they think that the regular smallpox vaccine wouldn't be effective against it.

Camel pox and smallpox are very closely related. In fact, many think it's the camelpox Saddam has had weaponized.
