#4 3dc,
I believe our new nuclear doctrine mandates the use of nukes to combat WMD attacks.

Uh, oh! Look out allah.

Ignoring it, hoping the story goes away, and trying to find a domestic scapegoat to blame it on.

You doubt me? That's how we responded to the anthrax letters.

#6 We treated the Anthrax attacks as such because it was perpetrated by a domestic actor, an employee of a DoD contractor in Maryland, a South African. He's still the prime suspect. He had motive, opportunity, and expertise.

Not that Al Qaeda couldn't do the same, but the Anthrax attacks aren't the same as this.

Chemical weapons are a different beast than bio as well, and much much easier to produce.

Thus, why he has chem weapons. And you bet your sweet ass it was Saddam's intent for Zarq and his kind to get ahold of Iraq's remaining toys of this sort. Not that they couldn't happen upon some of Saddam's "destroyeed anthrax" tonnage.
