Top Reasons You Wouldn't Want a Mobile Biological Weapons Lab-Juan Cole
Top Reasons You Wouldn't Want a Mobile Biological Weapons Lab

Not only did Bush and Cheney and Libby tell bare-faced lies about the alleged "mobile biological weapons labs" in Iraq, the idea of such never made any sense anyway.

1. How could you have a clean room in a mobile biological weapons laboratory?

2. Petrie dishes might vibrate off the table.

3. Germs might get carsick. Now that's something you don't want to have to clean up.

4. Biologists keep pulling up at the drive-through at McDonald's.

5. What if you hit a big bump while working on the plague?

1. But you know why they had to be mobile.
1) the excuse for why the inspectors couldn't ever find them.

2) the need to remove Saddam in order to find and destroy them.

First there just HAD to be mobile labs according to the ideological bias. Looking for mobile labs, knowing, hoping they existed, the first Winnebago they saw was preceived as a lab.

2. Read further down on his home page
"Iran ... Glowing Mickey Mouse Watches"

Pretty scary stuff how the Bush Administration is twisting facts again to go to war. Also there is an interesting comment on the comment page from someone in Iran. It should be read by every american who is thinking the iranians are blood thirsty monsters who hate Jesus & George. The iranians are sane people just like us with a crazy leader who got voted in using knee-jerk issues.

4. no storage! and you had better hope that your technicians were short
(yeah, I know, tiny microbiologists) -- because working in cramped conditions like that would really be painful. (One zoologist I know has permanent back problems after spending hours hunched over in his VW bus, sorting water beetles.)
