I remember when some said, "Iran will fall within weeks of Iraq" . . . . one of the bargains of time to invade is time to prepare.
I'll hold that Russia will find enough evidence in Beslan to provide logistical basing for the upcoming US operation.
Jeffers had some interesting theories.
You made a timely remark about the Russian military since the events in Beslan, etc.. Have you visited the sites that have discussed since at least June 2004, the placement of 40,000 Russian troops in Iraq in October or Nobember.
Given US intentions about future troop deployments and the above, one has to wonder, and presents interesting angles to Jeffers comments.
