He used that vial as a prop to justify an Iraq invasion because of alleged weapons of mass destruction (for which there never was any evidence IIRC). Something along the lines of it takes this much anthrax to shut down the US government or something like that.
What we did find that never really made it into the news. The best way I have to explain it is imagine that the State of California outlaws hot brewed cups of coffee. One day the state raids the HQ of some tech firm that has 1M square feet of office space. What they find are green coffee beans, roasters, coffee pots, filters, grinders, powdered creamer (heathens), cups, mugs, sugar, sweet'n low, equal, and some coffee cups in the sink that have a little bit of old stale coffee at the bottom. We found everything you need to make a hot brewed cup of coffee, old coffee that had been brewed a long time ago, but not actual coffee brewing or hot cups of coffee ready to go.
Or in the case of Syria we set up the coffee lab ourself, hired a couple actors, and had them put on a skit where they threw cold water with brown food coloring in it at kids.
Rookie mistake by the spokesman. Should have whipped out a tiny vial labeled "evidence".
Jesus Christ. Was it supposed to be anthrax?
