The evidence suggests that Atta was involved in the prep work for the mail-bomb campaign. Thus, it is unlikely that the mail-bomb campaign represents merely the thrashing of a terrorist campaign that has been successfully suppressed by the host response to 9/11. Nor does it seem likely that the plot incorporating the 9/11 attack features a low-intensity letter bomb campaign as its grand finale. We know that Atta met with Iraqi intelligence six months ago. We know that Saddam Hussein's regime will likely be a target in the War on Terrorism as the campaign progresses. We know that the terrorists were researching crop-dusters and "wind patterns." We know that Iraq has extensive stocks not only of Anthrax, but of other, potentially much more terrible biological and chemical agents.

Now you do the math.

Speaking of math:

Remember when Sadaam Hussein said during Desert Shield that the impending war with the United States would be "the Mother of all Battles?"

We kind of laughed at him then, didn't we? I don't know how true that prediction will turn out to be for the future, but by letting him survive, we've made it true for the War on Terror.

Something that seems to be all too often overlooked about Sadaam Hussein: he believes himself to be the reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar, Babylonian conqueror on a par with Caesar and Alexander, Sacker of Jerusalem, and Captor of the Jews. As Nebuchadnezzar built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, so Sadaam today is rebuilding Babylon.

Hussein is an occultic megalopsychopath. All of his actions and motivations should be considered in this light.

For some time I have suspected that bin Laden and Hussein have been working on a paralell track. I think when the history of this war is written, we will learn of Hussein's intelligence personnel showing up in Southeastern Afghanistan in the last six months of 2000.

Atta was an errand boy, a senior errand boy, but an errand boy nonetheless. He knew about the plan, and now he is dead.

Dead men tell no tales.

The Bush administration knows that Hussein was probably in on this. That's why Powell hasn't quite been ruling him out. Hussein also knows that he might be a marked man, so he might want to get his licks in first.

One problem. He may have signed on to an attack on the United States homeland using biological mycotoxins. If we find out about this, we may decide to sit on it and simply have him assassinated by the Israelis after bin Laden is killed. Why? Because an attack on the American homeland with WMD requires a nuclear response. I don't think we're ready to go there, yet.

Now I suspect that we know where his biochem stuff is. I also suspect that we want to knock of Binnie and his Boyz first. A lot depends on how far Hussein and bin Laden decide to go. If Hussein and Binnie decide that Smallpox is their Thing, we'll have to nuke every high value target in Iraq worthy of the name, just to set an example. If that happens, believe me, the rest of the Arab World will put this jihadist nonsense to bed real fast. In other words, brown pants will suddenly be all the rage among Arab men. If they decide to piddle around with this anthrax nonsense just to throw a scare in them, we'll let Hussein off the hook with a dead bin Laden and a defunct al-Quaeda.

One other thing. Condoleezza Rice spent much of the 1980's in Nuclear Targeting at the JCS. I strongly suspect that she has been a busy little bee lately in that regard.

That's where it stands as far as I can tell.

What we really need to do is to start an emergency vaccination program for smallpox, plague, and anthrax. Put a fire under the CDC and get everyone vaccinated as quickly as possible. That makes the US a harder target to kill.

Let's not leave out Cuba...Saddam and Fidel are famous friends...

FROM A FEW INTERNET SOURCES:

The most important institution in Cuba's biotechnology industry is the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, CIGB. It was established in La Habana, in 1986. Located west of La Habana. 31 Ave, between158 and 190 Streets, Cubanacan. The CIGB has the most modern and efficient technology for bioscientific research as well as acilities for manufacturing and continuous work flow. It has a total area of 60,000 square meters. The Center has state-of-the-art equipment, second only to the United States in the Americas.

At the center work outstanding scientists and engineers dedicated to genetic research, virology, cloning, with the capacity to develop bioweapons, such as anthrax, smallpox, Ebola, and others.

The Cubans also have carried out studies on the propagation of microorganisms by means of fumigation aircraft or microjets. They have made use of microjet on land, and in the air. This same system could become the basis for the application of bacteriological weapons.
