Well, someone would have to check out the science, but it sounds knowledgeable to me.

Now this is making me paranoid. It seems as if the intelligence services REALLY, REALLY don't want to confirm an Iraqi connection. We've seen how George Tenet has bent the evidence repeatedly, especially about the Prague meeting, in order to shoot down an Iraqi connection. And we've seen how the FBI continues to bend over backward to deny any foreign terrorist connection to the anthrax mailings.

I have been assuming a combination of incompetence and clintonoid malice. But what if Saddam is BLACKMAILING the higher-ups in the CIA and the FBI? How would he do that? Well, suppose what we have heard about the OKC bombing is true? Then the FBI would be up to its neck in the cover-up of Iraqi participation, and Saddam could prove it. And there is some evidence that the CIA was involved in OKC too, because it is known that a high-level German agent was at Elohim City at the time and is thought to have been involved.

Of course clinton could be blackmailing the agencies too. It's one of his favorite techniques for keeping control over his subordinates, and no doubt he and hillary took their blackmail files with them when they left the White House.

You must be referring to Andreas Strassmeier. His connection to OKC is very interesting, that's for sure. I did a little research on Strassmeier recently and I came across this: Andreas Strassmeier: John Doe#2?

If that is indeed a picture of Strassmeier his resemblance to JD2 is quite a coincidence!!

Look, if Bush wanted to pull the rug out from under the FBI, he could have done so at any time during the last twelve months. For one thing, Bush had the results of the weaponization analysis within, at most, days after the first anthrax case. The scenario that has now become a reality -- a massive terrorist attack sponsored by Saddam, with followup anthrax blackmail -- is not exactly unanticipated. They were onto this immediately, because it's such an obvious one-two play, given Saddam's known proclivities and technical capabilities. However, far from blowing the lid on the bumbling FBI "Operation Amerithrax" scam, the administration has encouraged it. Hell, they came up with this Potemkin Village in the first place.

Saddam isn't blackmailing the FBI or the CIA. He's blackmailing the entire country. Think it through. If Saddam is behind the anthrax, then he's behind 9-11. If the anthrax is aerosolizable and hand-deliverable by suicide bombers, there's not a damn thing we can do today to stop Saddam taking out millions of Americans and inflicting the total economic loss of our major East Coast cities in a showdown. Therefore, Bush can't go public on the anthrax. Everything must be kept ambiguous, until we are in a position to take out Saddam with impunity -- something that is at least a year away, still, perhaps much more.

It's not that complicated. You've just got to snap out of the Walt Disney happy-happy joy-joy mode of thinking and face the fact that whoever pulled off 9-11 is very smart, very patient, and thought the whole thing through very carefully -- including the backend security. In warfare, the advantage is almost always with the aggressor, because his moves are planned out beforehand. This, BTW, is how a jumped-up lance corporal was able to take over the entire European continent in a year. Saddam will be dispatched, but don't assume that it will be easy, or that the price in human life will be any less than it was in 1945. 9-11 was just a sneak peak at Bill Clinton's legacy. The really big stuff is yet to come.
