not good to let em know, and, by 2003, nutjob could have nukes or Lord knows. also, saudi as a staging nation? put down the pipe, dude.

It isn't bad to let iraq know the plans of the US military if it is misinformation, which this clearly is.

+ I would like to think we already have our "plan" figured out by now. But what I would like, and the reality of the situation, could turn out to be two totally different things. But a person can dream. :)

"It isn't bad to let iraq know the plans of the US military if it is misinformation, which this clearly is."

This is not one of those loose lips senarios. You can't very well hide movement in a treeless desert. The whole Middle East knows what's going down and the U.S. population is kept in the dark for obvious reasons. It doesn't take a CIA analyst to figure out what is going on. Spring time is the time to hit them, demand for oil will be down and conditions perfect for Air Strikes to begin.

Well, quite frankly, I would prefer we be able to finish them off in 2 months, not 6 or more if possible. THe less American deaths, the better. Keep planning, Washington. When you are ready, let it fly.

Center for Defense Information is no Debka. Anthony Zinni is a Fellow as are a few other ex-highrankers .

CDI might be a mouthpiece for the US Military to spread the words they can't say directly. This could be serious information or deliberate misinformation.

And what season is it now?

[crystalk]

Can I quote you in 90 days?

"Center for Defense Information is no Debka... CDI might be a mouthpiece for the US Military to spread the words they can't say directly."

Which is exactly what Debka is with respect to the IDF.

I looked at some of his prior posts, and at least he thinks Janet Reno should be tried for murder.

Ariel Sharon must be tried for war crimes in the Hague for the exact same alledged crime as Milosovik. the only difference between what Sharon and Milosovik did is that at least Milosivik did it in his own country. The IDF in massacreing old people, women and children in Jenin had envaded Palistine.Good for the Goose!

The US military can destroy them in much less than 2 months. The trick is winning the peace. The last time round we bombed them for 6 months and then destroyed the world's 4th largest army in 100 hours (slightly over 4 days). We didn't finish the job. In fact, we are still in Saudi playing games with Saddam.

This time we need to make Iraq cease to exist. The Kurds of Iran, Iraq, and Syria would become independent Kurdistan. Syria and Iran would receive the Arab Sunni and Arab Shii land respectively in exchange for the creation of Kurdistan.

Ethnic majority Kurd areas. Orange color represents oil fields.

Arab Shii, Arab Sunni, and Kurd Sunni divisions in Iraq.

As in much of the third world, many of the national boundaries of the Middle East and North Africa are artificial creations of the colonial era.

The center said in its report that the United States will probably launch an offensive against Iraq in the spring of 2003.

Too late, but it's not part of my job description to decide. Let us hope those in charge are successful. The lives of millions are at stake.

Welcome to FR. You will do well here if you research the subjects you opine upon. We MAY not have gotten bin Laden, and there are horrible accidents during war and peace. More during war.

However, we bombed far more Taliban/al Qaeda than "rocks".

The only reason we didn't kill Saddam durng the Gulf war was because we listened to our "allies". We certainly tried hard enough to ACCIDENTALLY drop a bomb on Saddam, but he had this nasty habit of dividing up his family members and putting them in all of his palaces to use as human shields. A fact we learned to our horror and sorrow.

Hopefully, we've learned from our mistakes.

"We arn't going to Iraq ! We can't even capture Bin Laden .All we have done in Afganistan is bomb rocks ans Canadians. Get real.

As ususal, people having nothing better to do than criticize have none of the answers.
