Rumsfeld-"That case will be made in the next couple of days and weeks"

Which is it, Rumsfeld, days or weeks?
(Or is there going to be more than one announcement?)

I have been waiting several weeks already for this announcement
which was supposed to made in the next couple of weeks.

Sorry for my cynicism.
But in any case, let me predict, there will be no mention of the anthrax attacks,
otherwise,
how are they going to explain the reason why they left Hatfill 'twisting in the wind'?

I'm inclined to agree that the evidence will be solely of Iraq's possession of WMD and its ongoing development of more. But this wouldn't seem to be enough to convince virtually all of the naysayers, as Blair suggests will occur.

Everybody already believes that Iraq has developed and is developing such weapons. So, what is the extra information that will be so persuasive?

Let's say the administration has known since last December that Iraq was behind last year's anthrax. The timing of revealing that is critical. If it's revealed today, the planet goes into meltdown - all stock markets crash due to the liklihood of a nuclear strike on Baghdad (given that there is likley a lot more anthrax to come and the US will have to retaliate).
Indeed, it may not be revealed until Saddam is dead.

Note that, once again, everything that is happening remains entirely consistent with the Great Satan's initial theory.

If Rumsfeld has great information that would immediately get France and Germany off our backs, why not just tell us about it in plain English today? There has to be a good reason for this. One good reason is the one given above.
