I realized today why Dasshole and the rest are screaming:
About a week to ten days from now the War is going to start, (probably the weekend after the congress/the UN passes it's resolution.....**) and anyone who understands how we work can see it, the signs all turned up on TV Monday.
What you may ask gives me this insight?
Well I'll tell you, as it just hit me.....and I had real reservations about posting, (and If the folks here think this should go, pull away)....
Remember the image of the skies over Bagdad during Desert Storm.....well, on Monday both Fox news and CNN launched a midday show about the "War in Iraq", and PMSNBC sent their reporter to an aircraft carrier in the gulf who has started reporting daily about "drills"
As a TV producer it tells me they are positioning themselves to be on air during the night, (Bagdad Time) and already have everything in place to cover what they expect to be a very short war.
In my field you start a week or two ahead to get your viewers in tow, but you don't start a month or two because you'll lose them......
So, at the risk of seeming like a complete fool, the motions of the TV news gatherers tells me we'll be in and over before Halloween.
And the democrats will have to run against a victorious republican President who has just beaten Iraq, liberated Afghanistan and planted the seeds of democracy in Iran at the same time........
No wonder they're pissed:
They wanted GWB to go to the UN, he did.
They wanted him to come to congress, he did.
And now, before the election, he's going to go into Iraq........(and the War will bost the economy as well)
I've said it before and I will say it again:
Don't mess with this Texan, he's too many moves ahead
This is the way I expect the speech to go:
My fellow Americans, On (Insert Date)I was given absolute evidence, that when cooberated by our intelligence sources in other countries in the region, showed me a smoking gun connection between the terrorists who attacked us on 9-11 and the regime in Iraq.
These pictures of the air strip at Kalman Pak, in Iraq, taken by, (insert agency) on (insert date) show a Boeing, (number) that was used by OBL's Al Queda to plan out and practice for the attack on 9-11.
Because this was collected under extreme cover it was impossible to tell you about it until after our response was under way.
At, (pick a Time) the forces of the United State and 7 other nations, began the disarmament of Iraq.
etc......
Nothing offensive about that -- What is absolutely disgraceful is that media outlets are being provided with information about military activity that is not being provided to the public.
Not only that, but if YOU somehow learned about this activity and passed it along to the media, you'd end up in jail.
Interesting assertion. Could you expand a little. For instance, what was the source of the heads up?
