* Does Saddam Hussein pose an imminent threat to the U.S.?

Here is an answer to one of Byrd's questions. Smallpox vaccine guidelines readied

There is a reason why the government has stockpiled enough smallpox vaccine to treat the entire population of the U.S.

And there is a reason why a new "morning after" anthrax vaccine has been rushed into production.

And there is a reason why, since April, pharmaceutical company field sales forces have been alerting medical personnel nationwide to be on the lookout for the symptoms of various exotic diseases and specifying how they should be reported to the public health authorities.

The administration obviously has reason to expect an biological attack on the U.S. civilian population. Who do you suppose might have the means to mount such an attack?

And where do you suppose the weaponized anthrax in last September's mailings came from?

Can you show me a link to where the Administration has made these claims? Where is their supporting documentation? What about delivery systems? I can think of several other countries that have the same capabilities, some friendly to us, some not, why is Iraq singled out as the target?

One of the things that Reagan said that has always stuck with me is "Trust but Verify".

Ames, Iowa, as it turned out. Where a federally funded animal disease laboratory has stocks of decidedly NON-weaponized anthrax strains for research.

But that fact is just too inconvenient, now, isn't it?
