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.

Hmmm, one simple way would be to have a sleeper agent tip a briefcase full of the stuff onto the tracks of a deserted NYC subway station round closing time, so that the aerosol gets dispersed pneumatically for maximimum exposure to the four million people who use the system the next day. Expect a death toll in the hundreds of thousands to millions, plus total economic loss of the city. That's from one sleeper -- one "human missile," to use Iraqi parlance.

Of course, we know from 9-11 and the fires of Kuwait that Saddam thinks bigger than a single attack by a single agent. This is not unanticipated: since receiving the anthrax threats, Bush has ordered 100 million doses of Cipro and 25 million doses of a new anthrax "morning after" vaccine. He's also ordered 300 million doses of smallpox vaccine.

9-11 was the mother of all surprise attacks. Expect the mother of all battles before we are finally rid of its ultimate author.

Here's a bit more background reading, if you want to figure out what's really going down:
