World Net/ DEBKA is reporting the hospital story they usually get that from the Reuters Wire, and Kristol is his usual self.

Okay, anyone want to take bets as to how Rush is going to spin this on Monday?

That is, if he's back on Monday?

" ... the hospital story ..."

If the new offensive is anything like Desert Storm, the field hospitals will be treating far more enemy casualties than our own.

"'One of the meetings that wasn't reported this week was a briefing by General Franks in the Oval Office of the President on Wednesday revealed 'Fox News Sunday'
panelist Bill Kristol, citing an unnamed administration source."

Too bad Fox News does not understand Loose Lips Sink Ships.
But it's all about ratings, not national security, as usual for the media.

[Mixer]

I heard on FOX News this morning that Saddam was planning on possibly stepping down and turning over all power to his son. They claimed that he would do this to delay an attack from the US. Do you think that would stop us?

"Kristol is his usual self."

He is a pompous pr**k.

You will stay right where you are on the thread.

Just thought you'd like to know what Bill Kristol is up to now

Guess it's not secret anymore.

Where's Senator Depends?

"Kristol said that the Bush-Franks meeting indicates that the administration had decided to take action against Iraq regardless of the status of Middle East peace talks adding, 'Bush may be moving faster than we think in preparing to get rid of Saddam.'"

I sure hope so. It's overdue.

[Southack]

I know that Krystal's "rumors of wars" is an exciting, adrenaline-pumping thing to behold, but don't put too much faith in them.

Just for the short term, Syria is on the UN Security Council this month and Israel's astronaut isn't scheduled to go up on the Space Shuttle until next month.

Both of those events will pass long before we take action, so relax a little; we've got plenty of time before we fire up the barbeque.

Also, ask yourself this: what happens if Bin Laden and Omar pop up in a non-Iraqi, non-Pakistan country in the next few months? Would we want to be in the middle of an Iran/Iraq blitz when that happens...

Jordan's King Abdullah II meets U.S. Air Force commander
Tue Jun 18, 2:45 PM ET

AMMAN, Jordan - Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday met with a U.S. Air
Force commander for talks on military cooperation, the official Petra News
Agency reported.


Lt. Gen. Buzz Moseley arrived in Amman for a two-day visit to the Arab
kingdom, U.S. Embassy officials said.

Petra said Abdullah and Moseley discussed military cooperation between both
countries.

Moseley also met with the Jordanian chief of staff, Gen. Khalid Sarayrah, to
discuss the Mideast crisis, and Prince Faisal bin Al-Hussein, the Jordanian
Royal Air Force Commander.

No further details were available.

Abdullah also held talks with the president of Eisenhower Scholarship
Organization for cultural exchange, Adrian Basoura, to discuss the group's
work in promoting international mutual understanding through exchange visits
of young leaders to both countries.

The Eisenhower Scholarship Organization, a nonprofit body, was established
in 1953.

um, kill this thread.....loose lips

[Lucky2]

If this is true, which I think it is, then why does the public know? If these are secret operations, then they should stay secret. I'm getting sick of these big mouth lefties who keep giving out war plans to the press. This is all done to undermine Bush and I'm getting sick of it!
This behavior amounts to treason and something harsh needs to be done to stop these "loose lips."

[Michael2001]

If this stuff is so secret, how does the press get a hold of it. And why do they report it?

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Secret? If this is even slightly accurate I would not call it secret, anymore.

[guitfiddlist]

This is the silliest, most widely discussed telegraphed punch I've ever heard an administration talking about. I just wonder who the hell this whole charade is intended to fool.

[Kryptonite]

It's coming, and faster than previously thought. Reserves are being called up for active duty (Kuwait).

Oh and the LMT and RTN charts signal war is right around the corner.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

The element of surprise is a great ally in a war.

My contention all along has been that we will stun Iraq with a lightning attack against the oil fields in the south and the north.

Once secured, these areas will be defended easily by overwhelming air supremacy......come to us Saddam.

The Iraqi elites will see their wealth and power near collapse and oust Saddam.

The continued misinformation about a potential 2003 attack makes me believe that a September operation is in the cards.

Iraq will be the second domino to fall after Afghanistan and it will set off a chain reaction throughout the remainder of the arab middle east.

The irresistable force in this undertaking will remain President Bush's stark sense of right and wrong, good and evil.

[TommyDale]

This is such a secret that Debka knows about it...wow. Big "Secret"!!
