I have read the comments in this thread, many quite logical. I just cannot understand why the gov't has taken the position that is has.

And, FWIW, I think that the anthrax attacks are Bio-Attack Round Two from Iraq. I think that Round One was the West Nile attack; there has been low level scuttlebutt amongst health care workers for a couple years that this was an intentional bio-attack.

What is it gonna take for people to "connect the dots" as the media talking heads like to say?

I just cannot understand why the gov't has taken the position that is has.

One can understand why the Clintonized FBI and previously Hooverized FBI is not trained to think beyond its small box.

My guess is that the Bush defense and national security team has not pushed pointing the finger at Saddam because they weren't ready to take him on. They thought through the logistics of attacking Saddam, which included, among a million other details, manufacturing enough small pox vaccine for everyone in the United States and Britain; and realized that they needed to get the Taliban and scatter al-Qaida first, and build an airstrip in Qatar, etc., etc..

You can't get the American public mad as hell at Iraq for dumping anthrax on them until you are ready to act. It's the psychology of states craft at work.

You have to read Bush in code. He talks in code. When he said we would get the perpetrators of 9/11 in the time and manner of our choosing, when he said America would need patience, when he called Iraq/Iran/North Korea the axis of evil, he was letting those who can think that he was on top of this but it was going to take time.

And, I think, the time will be pretty much right after the November 5th elections and Powell is telling the UN they pretty much have only about a week left to be part of the party.

So, start praying for our country and our wonderful military, as the stakes and the risks are high enough, even with all the careful preparations that have been made.

Speaking of WNV, I saw a bit of a segment on the local news tonight (sorry, had the volume off) in which they were saying (according to titles on the screen) that the WNV is apparently contaminating some marine life now. Watch for some story to be posted about that, I'd expect.
