MM -- However, I think Cheney's comment was true. At the time (right after September 11), we weren't ready to attack a state sponsor of anthrax. Right now I believe we are...

The posters on this thread who believe we will attack Iraq sometime after this summer and the posters on this thread who believe we should have attacked Iraq six months ago perhaps should address each other on this manner instead of dirtboy -- who seems to be getting it from both directions.

IMO, like dirtboy and MM, we were not ready 6 months ago and we are ready now. The threat of WMD retaliation by Sadaam and al Qaeda has NOW been reduced greatly as Cheney alluded to several weeks ago. The attack on Iraq will happen shortly.

Thanks for the support - although I must admit that hearing absurdity played in stereo is hardly a new experience for me on FR...

It has, but has it been reduced enough to risk provoking it? Once the civilian anthrax vaccine is ready, there won't be any doubt.
