I was listening to the news earlier and they were talking about this beheading. Someone reported that before the Iraqi's beheaded this last man, that they wanted the release of some of the Iraqi women that were being held captive, in exchange for releasing our hostages. The reply given to them was there would be no compromise given to the terrorist's at all by doing what they wanted. Could there not possibly be SOME kind of a compromise made with the terrorists, in order to save one of our men from being beheaded?

This is probably a ridiculous question, cause I know we really can't trust terrorists at all.

Kat my sister, in all due respect, I believe there is no compromise with these insects (sorry to be so blunt and politically incorrect). They must be annihilated before they torture us all to death. You cannot reason with people(?) who are incapable of reason. It

I believe there are only a few women being held by the U.S. in Iraq. This is one of them.

Meet "Dr. Germ," the woman many consider the mother of all Iraqi biological weapons.

She is Rihab Taha, an unassuming British-trained scientist who has been identified by United Nations arms inspectors as the driving force behind Iraq's development of a weapons stockpile that, at least in the past, contained gallons of some of the most lethal germ agents known to mankind.

U.N. investigators gave her the menacing moniker during the 1990s round of inspections for Iraq's banned weapons of mass destruction. And Taha -- who burst into tears and threw chairs the last time she was questioned by U.N. personnel -- is likely high on the list of individuals the newly arrived crew of inspectors wants to interview again.

"She has a unique knowledge of all (Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's bioweapons) secrets," Jane's Intelligence Digest wrote recently.

During her bioweapons career, the plain-looking and normally mild-mannered Taha has overseen the production of at least 130,000 gallons of anthrax and botulinum toxin -- germs so deadly that a drop of either could kill a person.

In earlier inspections, U.N. personnel found videotapes of the hideous deaths of mice, monkeys, beagles and donkeys exposed to the toxins under her watch, and came to suspect, though they never found proof, that the killer germs were tested on humans as well.

Now 46 and the mother of an 8-year-old girl, Taha was not long out of the Ph.D. program at Britain's University of East Anglia when, in 1985, Iraq began a full-scale biological weapons program.

According to former inspectors, Iraqi defectors and bioweapon analysts, Taha's expertise was in tobacco diseases but she was tapped to be a scientist at the newly opened al-Muthanna weapons research center north of Baghdad.

Although considered an uninspired student with no particular management skills, Taha rose to run a 150-person bioweapon operation at the infamous Salman Pak facility, which inspectors once dubbed germ-warfare central.

There and at the secret al-Hakam weapons complex scientists concocted not only oceans of anthrax and botulism, but also experimented with the extremely deadly toxin ricin, gas gangrene that causes skin to melt, aflatoxins that cause liver cancer, hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, camel pox and various antibiotic-resistant agents, according to Great Britain's joint intelligence committee dossier on Iraq's deadly weapons program.

Taha reportedly cemented her status as the bioweapon maven when in 1994 she married Iraqi Gen. Amer Rashid, Saddam's top weapons expert. The two met in 1993 in New York during talks on U.N. inspections. Shortly after their tryst, Rashid divorced his wife for Taha.

When weapons inspections began after the 1991 Persian Gulf War, Taha insisted to U.N. investigators that the al-Hakam facility was simply a chicken feed processing complex, and that whatever bioweapons Iraq might have once had were destroyed during the war. When pressed by inspectors, the normally soft-spoken, introverted woman would scream, cry and, at least once, hurl chairs.

"It took the U.N. teams four years to expose that lie and discover that al-Hakam was the key to Iraq's biowar program," Jane's Intelligence Review reported.

Finally, in 1995, Taha grudgingly acknowledged Iraq indeed had an active germ-weapon program. The confession came after one of Saddam's sons-in-law defected and spilled the beans about Taha and her operation.

Once outed, Taha became openly proud of her bioweapon empire. She told former U.N. inspector David Huxsoll that it was patriotism and fears of Israel and its weapons programs that drove her.

Yet, the inspectors never got a full accounting from her, or anyone else in the Iraqi government, of what became of 2,200 gallons of anthrax and 500 gallons of botulinum toxin Iraq is believed to have squirreled away.

That is one of the primary questions facing the inspectors who returned to Iraq last week after a four-year absence.

The question has never been answered on what happened to the WMD that we knew they had in 1998. They never accounted for it. Hussain could have saved his regime if he would have accounted. Who knows? Buried? Syria? Destroyed? Dr. Germ was the head cook.

They where more than likely moved out of Iraq, since war with Iraq was dicussed for about a year or more before the war actually took place.

We sould have not had to go to war with Iraq. The UN should have taken care of Saddam, since there mato is to uphold human right, and he was clearly in violation of that. But we all know how the UN works.

If Bush made a mistake, it was waiting on the Useless Nations to do the right thing. This gave Saddam plenty of time to move them. Who has them now? Will they be coming across the border anytime soon? This is a real possibilty! We know he had them. Every major intel. agency on the planet knows this.

[Yahsway]

The UN wasnt about to do anything but Keep Saddam in power because so many in the UN were getting rich from that Oil for food program. Thats why they would not help.

Theres an old saying "follow the money". Thats what they were doing.

I believe Israel has said that those WMD's were moved to Syria prior the war.

These terrorists are the epitomy of EVIL. And the LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of all EVIL, and the UN certainly in my opinion has showed where their love is. Not in human rights and suffering, just their greed and love of money no matter what the cost.

I wish that beast(UN) would leave this country and go set up somewhere else.

(Sorry if I sound angry, I am, and im just venting this morning, sorry)
