Once again, Israel has to tolerate military attacks...
I think they will be coming along this time. It is a different world. A post war Iraq would be an ally to Israel. The only question is how fast the Arab nations would get in line to be friends with a pro-west Iraq/Iran/US/Brit/Russia/Israel coalition after the war. Either you are with us...or else we don't buy ANY of your oil.

unprovoked? Yes, unprovoked. As in when Adolf Hitler "unprovoked" the Frenchies and the Brits in 1935 by renouncing the Treaty of Versailles and anouncing his decision to re-arm.
Too bad Hitler didn't a little try harder to actually provoke the Brits in 1935. It would have saved the Brits a lot of trouble in 1939-1945.

>>>>>But even though Iraq's forces are weaker than in 1991, and those of the US even better armed today, General Franks knows that few military plans survive the start of the fighting. "We are prepared to do whatever we are asked to do," he said yesterday after visiting US servicemen in Kuwait.>>>>>>
"This bickering is pointless. General Franks will provide us with the location of the Iraqi fortress by the time this station is operational. We will then crush the Republican Guards with one swift stroke."

It was I who allowed the Jihadist to obtain the battle plans for the Iraqi invasion... they are falling into a trap.. oh Im afraid our smarts bombs will be quite operational when the US Air Force arrives

Benjamin Netanyahu wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal Friday. The first paragraph and the last paragraph summed it up. I'll save you all the rest of the reading.
"Sept. 11 alerted most Americans to the grave dangers that are now facing our world. Most Americans understand that had al Qaeda possessed an atomic device last September, the city of New York would not exist today. They realize that last week we could have grieved not for thousands of dead, but for millions."
......
"Today the terrorists have the will to destroy us but not the power. Today we have the power to destroy them. Now we must summon the will to do so."

February or March is giving the Iraqis a lot of time to prepare. Why is the United States so fearful of a small country like Iraq? This is like fighting California.
Not quite like fighting California.
However, the more we see "February" or "March", the more one should think "December" or "January". The dezinformatsiya is flying around so fast and furious I wonder how Rummy has time to come up with all this bullsh#t.
He's a busy man, that's for sure.
Once Bush gets his Congressional Resolution, all bets are off. Take that to the bank!
Be Seeing You,
Chris

I've always liked this guy. You know his brother died in the raid (rescue) at Entebbe. (..and Big Dadda is laid back in the life of luxury in Saudi Arabia.)

Perhaps with his crack staff of professional bs'ers.... maybee even some freepers, jeepers creepers... this website being privileged to spread the "bandini"....
"Bandini is the WORD for fertizer...."
BTW: What if it isn't iraq???
To: hchutch
But... do the Iraqi KNOW about the clone army???

But leaks of military plans do not happen by accident. Donald Rumsfeld, the Defence Secretary, may fulminate about them in public, with the straightest of faces. But they serve the administration's purpose ... Perhaps Saddam reacts to threat by moving things around, which our eyes in the sky follow.
Our preemptive strike is being done in self-defense ... The dimocrats are trying hard to sell the slogan 'pre-emptive' and paint it as some new and dangerous precedent. The fact is, taking out Saddam and disarming Iraq will be the correct continuance of the Gulf War, enforcing the U.N. resolutions Saddam has ythumbed his nose at and sinkEmperor failed to address! don't let the damn lying crimina; enterprise dimocrats set the rhetoric and the agenda. They want this to appear as a pre-emptive strike, to paint it as a terrible 'new precedent'. It isn't even that!
