The threat of WMD retaliation by Sadaam and al Qaeda has NOW been reduced greatly as Cheney alluded to several weeks ago.

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.

How are you going to convince people to get the anthrax vaccine, unless you tell them the truth about the anthrax threat? If a civilian vaccine were available right now, I bet if you took a poll and asked people if they would volunteer to take it, less then 5% would.
