The Great Satan has a theory that seems to me to make sense: Saddam used Al Qaeda to deliver anthrax as a threat, and the U.S. government refuses to admit publicly that it has been intimidated out of acting against Iraq.

I'll buy into the first part of his theory; but, I beg do differ on the latter. Intimidate George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld? I don't think so. I'm thinking that we've had nearly a decade of systematic military depletion, we are currenty fighting in a war in Afghanistan, and we're sitting tight until we are prepared to engage and defeat Iraq.

I'm with you. I have an extremely hard time believing that either GW or Rummy is in any way "intimidated" by this. Heck, they weren't "intomidated" by the WTC and Pentagon being bombed with airliners...they were PI$$ED, but not intimidated.
