Wolfowitz raises fears of anthrax attack
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big News Network.com Thursday 16th December, 2004

Several months after a federal court ruled against the Department of Defense's mandatory anthrax vaccination program, the DOD has requested an emergency ruling so it can continue to give the controversial vaccine to soldiers.

The authorization request was made in a letter from Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz to outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson.

"I have determined there is a significant potential for a military emergency involving a heightened risk to the United States military forces of an attack with anthrax," said Wolfowitz in the letter, which was written Dec. 10.

What Wolfawitz needs to get is a LIFE!!!

This stuff on the BioShield Act of 2004 is stuff out of Xfiles!!!

[wabeewoman]

1. I wish he's get Pinocchio's nose

so with every lie he told it would grow and grow.

[saigon68]

50. They Had "REAL SUCCESS" the last time catching the Perps

didn't they???? What a Fuckwit this little turd is.

It's a "CHALLANGE" FOR THEM TO CATCH ANY ONE

Hey Osama --where is you??? LOL

[izzie]

2. Bin Larden is not scary enough?

Frankly Bush and Co, are more scary than both these things.

[tsuki]

19. Bin who?

[Tight_rope]

53. My thoughts exactly...Osama bin forgotten!

[tsuki]

62. Or Bush's Osama Bin Lovin' you.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. "I have determined"

'nough said.

[TahitiNut]

15. It's the neocon version of a Papal Decree.

Infallible. The most extreme kind of authoritarianism. The man's a malignant sociopath.

[neverforget]

4. If Rummy is forced out, this is the asshole that will replace him.

These 2 are cut from the same cloth: PNAC Empire Builders.

[neweurope]

5. One would want to yawn but the freepers fall for it every time.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

10. How very true

What's sad is that many ordinary Americans will fall for it too. I wish our public was better informed.

[Tight_rope]

55. " I wish our public was better informed"....

Unfortunately, my dear 4 years ago would could have used that as an excuse for the ignorance of 59 million American's. But at this point, it is now a proven fact that it's just plain ole "STUPIDITY" that keeps them believing the lies of Bushco*.

[Just Me]

46. Thing is,...the anthrax attack was domestic & suspiciously targeted,...

,...liberal/progressive, non-right-wing types. The anthrax itself had been traced to an American military base. So, the attack was quite suspicious and during a period of heavy psy-ops waged against the American masses.

In other words, Wolfowitz may simply be warning about an additional attack of which he has some form of advance knowledge. The neoCONfascists are, after all, adherents to Machiavellian practices.

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. Fact is that the powdered form of anthrax has only been made by

The good ol' USA. Otherwise the liquid shit poses no real threat. That guy is a menace and a threat to the civilized world. He deserves a at least a crippling stroke.

[American Tragedy]

34. You're referring to the industrial variety

Antrax does occur naturally, and sometimes accumulates in certain environments where it may be inhaled. Actual human casualties are extremely rare, of course.

[Demeter]

36. Anthrax Wouldn't Survive in a Desert, FCS!

Can't imagine why anyone would foist that stuff off on a million soldiers, but they have. Are we going to be invading England? Or someplace equally damp?

[aikido15]

7. Oh, p-l-e-a-s-e....

Like we're going to fall for that shit again!

[necso]

8. What?

Did he get his hands on a new batch?

[havocmom]

12. A handfull of guys on TV are falling out of step and wandering off topic.

Gotta rope 'em back in with a friendly little reminder.

[Goldeneye]

23. Is it true

that the guy who took pictures of jenna and barbara when they were drunk was sent anthrax and died?

[Ranec]

9. Bizarre!

Where is this guy's head?

Soldiers are dieing because they don't have armor--there is your emergency.

[bunny planet]

44. Hence the warning about anthrax. Let's give them something else to worry

about to take their minds off missing armor, which is not scheduled to be delivered until March 2005. I am going to investigate how to buy individual armor for a soldier just called up in my town. Maybe we can all do this, sort of adopt a troop kind of thing. Shame the government, let'show them we support our troops more than they do. Troops need more than yellow ribbons on SUV's to protect them. (sorry, maybe this belongs in that thread yesterday about the troops)

[xxqqqzme]

11. somebody give the turntable

a bump. I think the needle's stuck again.

Yea, I'm THAT old!!!

[MatrixEscape]

13. For their plan to work ...

Banana Republic. Our Emperor won't allow all those dangerous things like freedom and a Constitution and such.

Fortress America has to be gradually forged into the most terrified, suspicious, xenophobic, country on the planet!

Extreme paranoia and the psychological impact that cognitive disassociation from fear creates in the mass psyche will assure that the inmates will gladly build and then march to occupy a virtual prison for the mind and even the body.

Only brave hearts, clearly focused minds, combined with a quick shift away from the blatant consumerism, entertainment immersion addiction, and numb acceptance of being exploited, can stem and change the Fascist tide before it goes crimson.

Freedom is getting very expensive and the labor to preserve it, along with the kinds of sacrifices large numbers of people would have to make, is very foreboding to our comfort zones.

What is it worth? There's the rub.

[daleo]

14. Maybe a warning about the vote recount

If any media or politicians out there want to make a big deal about it, he is just gently reminding them about anthrax.

[Dem2theMax]

16. Wolfowitz, go lick your comb.

:puke:

[BernieBear]

17. Dem2theMax --- the comb licking was soooo gross!

:cry:

[DoYouEverWonder]

20. I think I'm more afraid

of the stuff in Wolfie's hair comb than I am of anthrax.

[Dem2theMax]

58. lmao! I would be as well. Ick. Just thinking about it makes me want to

:puke: again! lol.

[EFerrari]

18. We should just all change our names to Yossarian.

When the FBI was hounding Steve Hatfill after the anthrax scare, I tracked down who made the vaccines for the military. At that time (maybe a year ago or so?) it was only one Repug company with its obligatory ex-general.

And I seem to remember a lot of problems with the vaccine -- like people getiing sick and dying and other nasty stuff. Some were refusing it in fact.

Wolfowitz may be delusional but that would be a hefty contract to land, wouldn't it.

[Chalco]

21. Hey, Wolfie, catch the guy who anthraxed us in 2001,

why don't you? Otherwise shut up.

[Massachusetts]

22. LICK MY COMB!

[BrainRants]

24. Conyers must be getting REALLY close in Ohio!

Fucking comb licker!

[goforit]

30. Yep........A coral around the wagons!!!

[DS1]

25. Impossible. Wolfowitz took the fight to the enemy in Iraq so we

didn't have to fight terrorists here!

So it has been said on CNN, so it was done.

[wicket]

26. Looks like Wolfowitz is auditioning for Rummy's job

:eyes:

[Art_from_Ark]

27. Someone needs to ring the gong already

[Vidar]

28. The new, improved CIA must have a surplus of the toxin.

[goforit]

29. "Lions and tigers and bears ....oh my!!!"

Is wolfowitz threatenning us????

[Swamp Rat]

31. PNAC Nazis aren't done with us yet.

[American Tragedy]

35. Thanks Swamp Rat, that piece of shit has been cryin for a reptilian morph

He doesn't get nearly the degree of attention that he deserves, both here and in the MSM.

[Swamp Rat]

37. dupe

[Swamp Rat]

38. Just doing my civic duty.

:D

[Oilwellian]

32. Surprisingly, Lou Dobbs covered this issue

Recently, he reported it's not necessary to take the vaccine. If our soldiers become infected with Anthrax, they can be treated with Cipro within 6 days of infection. It's far cheaper and much safer. So why is Wolfowitz fighting to inject our troops with a mercury-laden Anthrax vaccine if an antibiotic works just as well?

[TexasBushwhacker]

47. Good for Lou!

I know he's not a Democrat, but he doesn't seem to be beholden to the GOP either. He is all over the job exporting and H1B visa problem.

[annabanana]

33. He must think the "scare factor" needs a tweak...

The regulars aren't supplying enough "omph" for The Plan.

[bvar22]

39. YUMMMM!

Dandruff Flakes or Anthrax Spores?
Doesn't Matter.
I've had my Vaccination!


Copy this picture.
Send it around the Net.
Print it out and mail it to everyone you know.
When the name Wolfowitz is mentioned,
every American should see this in his/her mind.

[lovuian]

40. OMG!!! LOL!!! BAAWAAAHAAA!!!

Thats great!!!

[Hard_Work]

41. tinfoil hat time...

Wolfie and his ilk are planning an anthrax attack on our troops. In order to minimize the risk but still maximize the fear factor, it is necessary that the troops be innoculated...wouldn't want too many to actually die, we will need them for out 'revenge' strike...

[PATRICK]

42. Vaccine problems and rebellious troops

The old problem is that before the war few soldiers wanted the dangerous vaccine and its side effects. It may be part of the disciplinary crackdown that is supposed to do with the heretofore silent morale problem.

Maybe a bait and switch to distract the troops with another worry.
Then Wolfie is nuts anyway.

[Massachusetts]

51. WOLFIE THE NASTY BASTARD!

:puke: :puke:

[shanti]

57. gee thanks

i was just sitting down to lunch! :puke:

[Dem2theMax]

59. LMAO. The pic with what you wrote under it, priceless!

:bounce: :) :)

[hangloose]

43. No what Wolfy is signaling is that we will be the victim of an attack

from a targeted county in the middle east. See we can't justify going in another time in a preemptive manner so now we need to create an excuse. So who's it going to be, Iran, Syria, Lebanon?

[yorkiemommie1]

45. have to keep that anxiety level percolating

amongst the populace so that it will accept any measures taken by this group, 'for our own good'. and 51% will buy into it.

[susu369]

48. Booga!! Booga!!

WOLFowitz - is that a pack of wolves watching us?

[LeftCoast]

49. I was going to post the exact same thing!

More Booga! Booga! scare tactics to keep the sheeple in line. Afterall, the sheep don't need a herder if there's no wolf.

[Hand]

52. Keep in mind that Wolfie's a Straussian

Thus by his ethos the enlightened rulers (including, conveniently, himself) have the right--actually the obligation--to say whatever's required, true or false, to maintain control over the populace. This "warning" is exactly that.

He's making it up from whole cloth. It's entirely legitimate, according to the Straussians, to do so--in fact, it's a moral imperative.

To which I can only say: Wolfowitz, I spit on your warning. And I shit on the grave of Leo Strauss.

:grr:

[Griffy]

54. WMD.. weapon of mass distraction, pay no attention to Fraud! nt

[goodboy]

56. when things go bad for the admin...threat levels go up...(nt)

[lonestarnot]

60. LOL He must have been fookin' watching DU posts re We're coming to DC

and we don't have reservations for a fucking bench! But we're com'n because there is not a private owner of 1600 Pen Ave.

[spanone]

61. Where has this cretin been hiding?

This asshole was put in the spider hole during the election so as not to put a negative face forward for the bushits. I couldn't give a shit less what Wolfoshit has to say, this man has NO credibility.
