So as it shouldn't be a total loss...

Enough germs to kill everyone on the planet
THIS is the British-trained demon of death whose ghoulish experiments with anthrax, botulism and bubonic plague have earned her the nickname Dr Germ.
Her real name is Rihab Taha, right, she has prepared enough toxic bombs for Iraq's Saddam Hussein to wipe out the world twice over and is a prime target in the West's war against terrorism.
Nowadays, with the money Saddam heaps on her for each new weapon of mass destruction she devises, Taha favours sharp Armani suits. But staff at Norwich University recall a drab, mousey-haired girl who arrived in 1979 to study for her PhD in biology, specialising in plant poisons.
Desperate to maintain a low profile she moved into an Edwardian terraced house in the city's Earlham Road.
In 1979 Taha, who was then 23, was already a dedicated member of Saddam's ruling Ba'ath party. Intelligence sources suspect she was sent to Norwich for training after being recruited to Iraq's nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) warfare programme.
When Taha returned to Iraq she headed straight to one of the country's many military research centres and presented her true life's work, carefully written over long nights in the Earlham Road flat—plans for mass destruction.
She shrewdly married the head of Iraq's weapons programme General Amer Rashid, a man educated in London. Soon she had his baby and whiled away the months of pregnancy researching methods of infecting Western tots with lethal doses of diarrhoea.
Israeli intelligence agents uncovered evidence of anthrax bomb tests on human guinea pigs at Salman Park, a military complex 50 miles south of Baghdad.
Their reports describe how Iraqi scientists watched from behind a glass screen as Iranian prisoners, captured during the 1980-88 war with Iraq, were strapped to beds.
They were sprayed with anthrax from a ceiling-mounted ‘gun' and their agonising deaths exactly timed by Taha's scientists over 48 hours.
On Friday, President Bush gave his clearest hint that Saddam Hussein might be the next target in the war against terrorism.
And tellingly, in a military research paper USAF major Brian Anderson says: "There is only one name ahead of Taha's on the US's list of Middle Eastern enemies... Saddam Hussein."

What hideous excuses for humanity . . . well, I suppose some inside the beltway would qualify even though BC and sidegritch have left . . . but I was speaking of Iraq.
Mind that Parcel
Approximately one pound of botulin toxin would kill everybody on the planet. The problem is getting everybody to line up for their dose.
Biological weapons are ineffective because of the difficulty of creating a delivery mechanism.
Wouldn't his arm get awfully tired?
I hate to tell you this, but there are MORE than enough germs loose in the wild to kill everyone on the planet. By itself this isn't much a threat.
I was wondering how they were going to trick us all into being strapped to a gurney in front of the "toxin guns."
We tried to warn those Liberals in La La Land. We shouted until we were hoarse! "The same evil will rise again in a different guise!" But they were locked in the Liberal paradigm like a sound-proof cage, unable to think for themselves, slaves to groupthink, parroting the Liberal mantras, like mind numbed robots.
Do you think any of them have realized what they have brought upon us--with their shallow thinking and "good intentions"?
Too bad they would listen to us.
Anybody feel like Cassandra?
PRINCE Edward is finally exposed today as
a conniving, sneering liar prepared to con
the Queen so he can reap rewards for his
ailing TV company.
I'll wait before heading for the hills, I think.
