they don't have any suitcase nukes.

But the nerve gas and anthrax is the big risk - that alleged attack in Jordan has been totally buried for some reason, still alot of stories out there about iraqi material being moved to Syria and the Bekaa Valley, and we never did "solve" the 2001 anthrax attacks.

" we never did "solve" the 2001 anthrax attacks."

I thought the FBI had a suspect. A disaffected scientist or something?

I'm not so concerned about an anthrax attack, although supposedly the anthrax that was delivered to the Speaker's (or was that to Daschle?) office was weaponized and could have killed many thousands. I think I heard a hundred thousand? But it didn't. Such an attack will take too long to "spin up" methinks, to be an effective primary strike. However, it would serve well as a "follow-on" attack to another type of strike and which would serve to disrupt responses to the first. Kind of like the good old "albanian doublecross" where a bomb goes off and there is a delay while the rescuers gather and then the second device goes off. But on a massive scale.
