Except for the fact that Iraq did not have weaponized anthrax Remember the WMD debacle Weaponized anthrax is considered by all to be a WMD Iraq s process from research only was also substantially different So either the administration DID find WMD s in Iraq and chose to instead embarrass the nation by denying them AND cover up an Iraqi WMD attack upon the US which would be a clear cut act of war or the conspiracy theory is wrong The makes sense part then yields to Occam s razor the conspiracy theory would have to be that the US choose to loose standing and face international criticism over invading Iraq and finding no WMD s AND pass up the opportunity to declare war on Iraq for a WMD attack OR the anthrax was NOT weaponized by Iraq as it was coated and prepared differently than the Iraqi anthrax weaponization program did but prepared in a way researched and used in past US programs In short the conspiracy theory fails on any examination of the facts as known
