among which was the Bubonic Plague. Does that count?

Actually, someone well placed told me at the time Saddam had moved his WMD to Syria when he realized he was in fact going to be invaded. I responded, "Well, makes a lot of sense to me. Here he was the head of a small country but also a person who had tried to kill George W. Bush's* father. He hears the strongest military in the world, led by the elder Bush's son, is coming to get him. So what does he do? He moves the most potent weapons he has to defend himself out of the country. Right." He had no response.
