The acinetobacter baumannii is a waterborne bacteria, obviously water is the culprit here. Things are worse than ever in Iraq, sanitary conditions, sewage, water sources. This pathogen would not cause any problems in normal conditions, but infrastructure is worse than ever over in Iraq and I am not suprised there are more of these types of problems.

And here we go the 9/11 trials have not even started but yet, Saddam Hussein, supposidly part of this has already been tried and hung.

Talk about set up yes we were set up royally by the Bush Administration. While in New York area all I heard is the building wasn't suppose to fall as the material used would support anything. After it came down it was seen that the builders didn't use the material they were paid for.
