The solution is "Rather" simple but then again, it is "Rather" difficult. Fox News and Michelle Malkin are talking about the issue but no one is actually bringing about the meat of the subject.
Saddam was a cagey fellow and routinely used the "victim card" - sound familiar to anyone? - to garner sympathies from the weak-minded and he generally used this tactic to hide his true intents. Such is thought to be the case here. He tried to make it appear that Iran was responsible for the anthrax attacks seeing that there has been a state of war between Iran and the USA since 1979.
In Chapter 16 entitled Saddam's Anthrax Attack Warning, Ray Robison spells out that which we had already known but political expediency does not allow the confirmations nor does it behoove the Leftinistra and the Blame America First crowds to accept truth. I say that we already knew this data but I will state that we didn't know The How or The Why.
The article linked above was written prior to the release of Ray's book, Both In One Trench. Ray Robison was on the ISG Team and is heavily involved in the research and translations of the "captured" documents. On page 288 of Ray's book, he writes the following:
Read the book. Read the reports and the supporting documentation. Also, remember, that the complete translations of the documents has not been concluded at this time.

Begin Translation for CMPC-2003-006051The above is part of the on-going translations of the millions of documents captured and/or seized in Iraq and elsewhere as a result of the GWOT. I find it ironic - for a lack of a better descriptor - that prior to the Anthrax attacks in the United States following the Day of Infamy Part II - 91101 - that Iraq and Iran were dealing with the Anthrax issue. I don't believe in the Coincidence Theory. Ever.

In Chapter 16 entitled Saddam's Anthrax Attack Warning, Ray Robison spells out that which we had already known but political expediency does not allow the confirmations nor does it behoove the Leftinistra and the Blame America First crowds to accept truth. I say that we already knew this data but I will state that we didn't know The How or The Why.
The article linked above was written prior to the release of Ray's book, Both In One Trench. Ray Robison was on the ISG Team and is heavily involved in the research and translations of the "captured" documents. On page 288 of Ray's book, he writes the following:
[...] Our finding is that there is still substantial reason to investigate if the anthrax attack was part of the 9/11 attack. If that is actually the case, the Saddam regime would be the most likely originator of the anthrax. There is no information available to the public (that we are aware of) that excludes that possibility. [...]As he and his team so presents, there were laboratories and research facilities that went undiscovered until after the invasion and defeat of Saddam Hussein's Iraq that were more than capable of developing small stockpiles of BW.
Read the book. Read the reports and the supporting documentation. Also, remember, that the complete translations of the documents has not been concluded at this time.
