Hehe, Superfly. purple monkey dishwasher.
I'll give you a hint. I was being facetious in regard to your post as you went off track on my question to Tysonboss.
Please re read my halarious post in that light and try again.
It's really been a day for it, hasn't it. First Kennas lost his mind, Redrob and 2020 was duking it out, and my jokes fall flat. (as usual)
Well, it sounds like someone doesn't want a free ticket when I make the second round of raw comedy 2009.Claiming you typed up a joke doesn't get you of the hook ..... if anyone believes that was a joke then I can now see how Kevin Rudd got voted into government back in Australia.
You asked how to deliver such weapons in the field.
Again, your name is Superfly. Lovely a name it is, it's not TysonBoss1. So me being me, decided to have a little laugh at your expense.I replied by pointing you in the direction of someone who would have access to that knowledge.
Could you please highlight and quote where I said that. I can't find it. What was on my mind was the sarin attacks on the Tokyo underground, actually.In the reply you posted you have deemed the US correct for entering Iraq.
Now, I don't know either way on that, but I do know it sounds like you need a big hug. I wish I could just put my arms around you for a big man hug, ya big softy!Nothing wrong with that San-Quar, because the US were correct to enter Iraq.

Interesting and yes fortunate the Tokyo attacks were so crude. I'd always assumesd that in gas form there was just an nerve agent and a bonding agent compressed with air in an aerosol style delivery system.
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its FBI case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two Democratic U.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. The crime remains unsolved.
interesting they would target senators opposed to the Patriot ActTwo more anthrax letters, bearing the same Trenton postmark, were dated October 9, three weeks after the first mailing. The letters were addressed to two Democratic Senators, Tom Daschle of South Dakota and Patrick Leahy of Vermont. At the time Daschle was the Senate Majority leader and Leahy was head of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Both were identified in the media as holding up the proposed Patriot Act because of concerns that some parts of it would violate civil liberties.
The Daschle letter was opened by an aide on October 15, and the government mail service was shut down. etc
More potent than the first anthrax letters, the material in the Senate letters was a highly refined dry powder consisting of about one gram of nearly pure spores. Earlier reports described the material in the Senate letters as "weaponized" or "weapons grade" anthrax. However, in September 2006, the Washington Post reported that the FBI no longer believes the anthrax was weaponized.
At least 22 people developed anthrax infections, with 11 of the especially life-threatening inhalation variety.. etc.

Image of envelope in which the letter containing Anthrax was sent to Senator en:Tom Daschle during the en:2001 anthrax attacks.
The return address given in the top left says: "4th Grade, Greendale School, Franklin Park, New Jersey, 08852." There is no Greendale School at that address, though there is a Greenbrook School in the locality.
Tests conducted at en:USAMRIID confirmed the presence of fine, "energetic", powdered anthrax within this prestamped 34 cent transmittal envelope. Also present was a one page handwritten letter, clues from which enabled the en:FBI to create a profile of the sender.
The letter was postmarked at the Hamilton Township postal facility at 5:45 p.m. on en:October 9 en:2001. By October 11 it had reached the Brentwood postal facility in Washington which processes US Government mail. Two postal workers, Joseph Curseen Jr. and Thomas Morris Jr., died after contracting inhalational anthrax at the Brentwood facility.
The 14 000 square foot facility was decontaminated on enecember 14, en:2002 using en:chlorine dioxide gas. When it was reopened 26 months after the incident the facility was renamed the "Joseph Curseen Junior and Thomas Morris Junior Processing Distribution Center."
US scientist in anthrax case in apparent suicide

A US Army scientist who apparently committed suicide this week was close to being charged in connection with a series of deadly anthrax attacks in 2001, federal law enforcement officials said.
They said Bruce Ivins, 62, who worked for the last 18 years at government biodefence research laboratories at Fort Detrick, Maryland, took an overdose of painkillers over the weekend and died on Tuesday in an apparent suicide.
A lawyer representing Ivins said the scientist had fully cooperated with the government's anthrax investigation for six years, that he was innocent and they would have established that at trial.
"We are saddened by his death and disappointed that we will not have the opportunity to defend his good name and reputation in a court of law," attorney Paul Kemp said in a statement.
"The relentless pressure of accusation and innuendo takes its toll in different ways on different people, as has already been seen in this investigation. In Dr Ivins's case, it led to his untimely death."
The finely powdered anthrax was sent through the mail to media organisations and politicians shortly after the September 11 attacks by Al Qaeda militants in 2001.
The anthrax mailings killed five people and sickened 17, shut down a Senate office building and spread fear of further biological attacks among Americans already reeling from September 11.
The only deadly biological attack to take place on US soil, it severely disrupted the national postal service, forcing billions of dollars in changes to its operations and turned ordinary envelopes into something to be feared.
The law enforcement officials said the death of Ivins could lead to the end of the FBI's long-running and much-criticised criminal investigation.
Earlier, suspicion centered on another government scientist, Steven Hatfill, but he was not charged and the government agreed in June to pay him $5.85 million to drop his lawsuit against the Justice Department. etc
