Wouln't it be better for one and all if the "Leader of the Free World" resolved his differences with Arab Leaders by diplomacy. Weapons inspector, Scott Ritter said Hussein's capability for producing weapons was so downgraded over the past seven years, he is no threat to the US and Bush is foisting this war on the American people based on speculation.

FEMA Preparing for Mass Destruction Attacks on Cities

FEMA, the federal agency charged with disaster preparedness, is engaged in a crash effort to prepare for multiple mass destruction attacks on U.S. cities.

FEMA is already preparing for nuclear, biological and chemical attacks against U.S. cities, including the possibility of multiple attacks with mass destruction weapons.

The agency has already notified vendors, contractors and consultants that it needs to be prepared to handle the logistics of aiding millions of displaced Americans from urban areas that may be attacked.

The agency plans to create emergency, makeshift cities that could house hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans who may have to flee their urban homes if their cities are attacked.

Ominously, FEMA has been given a deadline of having the cities ready to go by January 2003 – in about six months.
A source familiar with the deadline believes the effort is related to making the U.S. prepared for counterattacks if the U.S. invades Iraq sometime next year.

FEMA is currently seeking bids from major real estate management firms, and plans to name three firms in the near future to handle the logistics and planning for these temporary cities.

FEMA officials have told these firms they already have tents and trailers ordered. The tents and trailers would provide shelter for displaced populations.
The real estate firms are expected to provide engineers and architects to lay the plans for emergency infrastructure needs, such as sewerage and electricity.

There is no clear evidence Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, there isn't even any viable liberation resistance, like the Northern Alliance of Afghanistan. All this coming war will do is further destabilise the region. It is ominous, that FEMA are preparing for 'multiple attacks' before 2003 and their contingency plans don't seem to take radioactive fallout into consideration either.
