The Russians have offered us their anthrax vaccine. According to Ken Alibek, it is far superior to ours. Why haven't we taken the Russians up on their offer?

The military is by definition and necessity a results oriented organization.

Faulty premise. The military is a 'keep-the-boss-happy' oriented organization and since the CINC wanted to do 'something' about the anthrax threat, nothing was allowed to get between the immediately doable (or so it was thought) vaccination program and the troops.

Inevitably, many midlevel bosses, in the interests of their careers (AKA 'sucking-up'), committed to the vaccination program. They must now also be kept happy by their subordinates, giving the program enormous bureaucratic mass. Don't expect any serious review of the program absent either a court decision or a Presidential order.
