Weapons of Mass Destraction

Alie,

Unlike giant pandas, there's no redeeming values to the smallpox microbes.

However, since Hussein has been unlikely to received the germs from the Soviets, it is highly unlikely that he would have it.

[Skanky Burns]

IIRC, smallpox was kept by Russia and America so that if one side released it, the other would be able to work on a cure for it.

[Urban Ranger]

I thought so. Hussein might have gotten his from the CDC. Whops.

Anyway, why would anybody needs a cure when a simple vaccine is available?

[Skanky Burns]

Vaccine I should say. Although true enough, they would already have had a vaccine. Perhaps it was just a MAD thing, so neither side would have had an advantage.

umm, Urban?

you know that the US keeps a much tighter hold on it's stuff than the former USSR does

that has been seen time and time again

if he has it, and got it from one of us, it was most probably Russia (not officially)

Sandman, excellent points except for the very stupid pun in the thread title.
