I still can't keep the thought of a 9/11/2002 attack on Iraq out of my mind. I personally think nothing would cement the people behind Dubya more than that.

What a great way to memorialize the fallen but go after satan himself. But I don't think the Bush Administration would do it on 9/11/02. Way too symbolic and would not want to disturb the day of mourning. The problem with America is we have too many celebrations and memorials...we need victories and need them now. This is the fight of our lives right now and it needs to be taken to the mattresses.

A bioweapon attack can be released unnoticed. It can spread all over before anyone knows it has occurred. By the time it is detected, it is too late to stop. Nerve agents tend to strike rapidly (around 1 minute from exposure to death). Stuff like VX has some staying power. A contaminated area is dangerous for 3 to 5 days. Unlike bioweapons, the chemical variety tends to remain localized to the area of release.
Saddam is probably as intent on sharing the date for his own purposes.

Naaaa .. he won't do it on 9/11 because that is a day of memorial for those that lost their lives
However, 9/12 looks like a better date

Polls shows shockingly high support for a war against Iraq. Now, if BUsh just comes out and shows photos of all these chemical labs, then the support will go sky high....even more so if he shows Iraq was connected to 9-11.

I personally think nothing would cement the people behind Dubya more than that.I had that same thought, nothing like a bit of Super-Size Whoop Ass symbolizm to boost American moral on day that might otherwise be reserved for mourning. "My Fellow Americans, our planes are over Saudi Arabia, Iraq & Iran dropping ordnance...... We can only dream..........
