After today's events at the UN, the chances have drastically increased that Saddam will go without a war. Which would mean there would be no chance of a military debacle in Iraq.
I believe that Atta received an anthrax sample in Prague from the European head of Iraqi intelligence, and that they were responsible for last year's anthrax letters as a subtle and "deniable" warning shot across our bow.
Instead of three grams, the next attack could involve 300 kilograms put into hundreds of USPS, FedEx and UPS packages on the same day, as well as thrown in glass jars onto the subway tracks of our ten largest cities, effectively destroying our economy for months at least and killing tens of thousands at a minimum.
That is what I mean when I say "Iraq could blow up in our face," NOT that Saddam will defeat the US military.
