Further anthrax attacks on America, before or shortly after we invade Iraq, would far more likely be done by Iraqi agents directly than by Al Qaeda. While Saddam will give anthrax to Al Qaeda after the invasion starts, it will take them months to use it in America. Our best protection from Iraqi anthrax is to kill Saddam before he orders its use or delivers more to Al Qaeda.

Anthrax alert. Personally, I believe the anthrax is already distributed and the agents are merely waiting for their marching orders.

How would you see them using the anthrax? What method of dispersal?

Not being obnoxious, I also believe Saddam and Bush have been playing some type of covert cat and mouse game. Possibly, more than likely, I think the anthrax from last year was of an Iraqi source and a sort of warning...ofcourse, I dont know any of this to be true, just a feeling.

FEMA Preparing for Mass Destruction Attacks on Cities

John O. Edwards
Monday, July 15, 2002

FEMA, the federal agency charged with disaster preparedness, is engaged in a crash effort to prepare for multiple mass destruction attacks on U.S. cities - including the creation of sprawling temporary cities to handle millions of displaced persons, NewsMax has learned. FEMA is readying for nuclear, biological and chemical attacks against U.S. cities, including the possibility of multiple attacks with mass destruction weapons.

The agency has already notified vendors, contractors and consultants that it needs to be prepared to handle the logistics of aiding millions of displaced Americans who will flee from urban areas that may be attacked.

The agency plans to create emergency, makeshift cities that could house hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans who may have to flee their urban homes if their cities are attacked.

Ominously, FEMA has been given a deadline of having the cities ready to go by January 2003 – in about six months.

A source familiar with the deadline believes the effort is related to making the U.S. prepared for counterattacks if the U.S. invades Iraq sometime next year.

FEMA is currently seeking bids from major real estate management firms, and plans to name three firms in the near future to handle the logistics and planning for these temporary cities.

FEMA officials have told these firms they already have tents and trailers ordered. The tents and trailers would provide shelter for displaced populations.

The real estate firms are expected to provide engineers and architects to lay the plans for emergency infrastructure needs, such as sewage and electricity.

This scares the absolute crap out of me. Combine somone advocating a decapitation attack on Saddam with govt. preparations for whole cities being evacuated and it looks like anthrax city when we invade Iraq.

I will avoid riding any subway system when the war with Iraq starts. I've already told my sister not to ride the Wasington metro when eveything starts up. But I think its more likely Saddam will order the release when he knows his time is almost up.
