I would like to believe that such plans are in place (see post #158 from SamAdams). I would like to believe that key leaders have been informed of the likely consequences of certain actions, but I have a difficult time believing it. Why? For the simple reason that in a city that leaks like DC, we've heard not a peep, not a rumor, not a hint that anything like this is in place. Now just think for a minute, wouldn't you want this kind of "leak" to happen if you were high up in the administration or military? It should have quite a deterrent effect. But so far, in over two years, complete silence.

Good point but were that made even semi public knowledge via a leak there would be absolute hell to pay from the rest of the spineless world and the dems.

Perhaps this might explain a couple of Crawford BBQ's with high ranking Arabs ? Just a simple little 'don't-jack-with-me' chat with the right people.

I remember reading about that interview between us and the Iraqi rep just before the first Gulf War that involved our rep sliding an envelope (from Bush 1) across the table to the other. It read something to the effect that if one toe of the Iraqi army crossed the border to Saudi they would be nuked. It brought fear to the eyes of the rep. Sorry that I can't remember the individuals involved.
