    What if the Leahy / Daschle Anthrax HAD contained Bentonite...

    If there had been bentonite in the anthrax, the Iraqi invasion would have been Late 2001, early 2002 at the latest. All the need to get a UN mandate would have been moot. Iraq attacked the US with WMDs and we responded. End of discussion.
