September 16, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence officials fear that Saddam Hussein has concocted a doomsday plan that would use al Qaeda to attack America with Iraqi-provided biological weapons, The Post has learned.
The threat has been raised in secret intelligence assessments provided to top military officials and White House policymakers as they prepare for war, administration officials told The Post.

I have wondered at Saddam being so ballsy with Bush. But I figured he had something nasty to shock our troops with. You know, we go blow something up and spread who knows what for miles....makes more sense for him to foul our nest rather than his though.
Trying desperately to get out of another damned cruise with the blue hair crowd.... Most of the bitchs are widows - lucky husbands - and they look at every healthy male like meat on the hook, or finding fault with politics, language, dress, table manners..etc, etc..... I don't need that crap at my age..

We're being told everyday.. that the "Peaceful Muslims" have long toothed "trained" enemy cells all over the U.S...we're going to have to eyeball and cover 360 24/7 - almost impossible..
If the SHTF - and urban war breaks out -- it could quickly get uglier than the Civil War..if our "Peaceful Muslims" spring into defensive mode for the radical Islamanazis on a rampage... Also unknown in this scenario - is how will the Black Muslims, Black Panthers, White Supremists, Greens, Marxists, Communists and other domestic trash - react...
Are your eyes and legs up for another campaign...at least this one is close to home....we won't have to go so far.

I don't doubt that he has them. I don't doubt that he'll use them. I don't doubt that they're already here.
I don't doubt that this country will become a war zone, somewhere along the line in this fight. I don't doubt there are other homegrown subversive groups who will try to take advantage of the chaos.
But most of all, I don't doubt that I'm an American. Let's roll.
Stay Safe RR !
A sweep of all "captured ordnance to be disposed" by qualified Explosive Ordnance Disposal troops will preclude such hopefully from happening.
Now the possibility does exist for Zoomies to drop Mark Series Gravity Bombs on such a site as you describe ......... Entirely possible.
Stay Safe !
50!..... Hell, you're still a kid.... I'm beginning to fear that I may just be almost the oldest old fart on the site... Damn, that is disheartening!
Take care partner --- I don't believe either of us will be going anywhere this time... Worse case scenario - we'll be in our own streets.

Nah, the smart thing is to get a big RV, pack up your hunting rifles, and head for the mountains.
"Honest honey, that's the safest place to be".
end snip.........
Pat Buchanan says....
From hard evidence, what may we reasonably conclude? A) Saddam does not have an atom bomb or the critical component to build one, and is not known to be in the market for the uranium he would need. B) While he has chemical and biological weapons, his delivery systems have been degraded. C) He has had these toxins for 15 years and never once used them on U.S. forces, though we smashed his country, tried to kill him half a dozen times and have a CIA contract out on his head.
Why, if Saddam is a madman, has he not used gas or anthrax on us? Osama would in a heartbeat. Probable answer: Saddam does not want himself, his sons, his legacy, his monuments, his dynasty, his army and his country obliterated and occupied by Americans, and himself entering the history books as the dumbest Arab of them all. Rational fear has deterred this supposedly irrational man. Has it not?
Yea, what is Pat anyway?
She's old Travis.......She ain't stupid..
Besides, if I swung open the door on that BIG gun vault in the Garage -- she would see what I have accumulated over the years.... That would be an unwinnable battle... She would have me committed as a danger to the community.
I'll just do like I always do.....complain to strangers, smile sweetly and just say - "Yes, Dear -- another cruise to Alaska would be nice.......Yes, Dear -- I'll pack the Tux and look lovely for you......
Truth of the matter, Travis..... That little 120 pounder terrorizes me.... I get NO slack.... I don't know why I put up with it...................Yes, I do....xxxxy whipped.

Who should we watch out for? Kamikaze A-rabs, or Homeland Security thugs and the newly-deputized "citizen snoops" sent to peek in our windows to make sure we're not doing anything naughty?
I'm half-joking on that, but I fear opportunistic bureaucrat tyrants-in-waiting almost as much as a foreign suicide bomber.
My 6 is covered...
