I have been posting for about two weeks, what your reply below is saying. That Uncle Saddam could force this attack to start on him before the 9th by some rash act or acts.

You posted, Keep in mind that if Saddam feels that we're close to the endgame of this charade, he might get jumpy and try to go first, trying to take out as much as he can with that one "good shot." Not only watch Sunday, but keep an eye on everything after Wednesday or so of this week. Things could happen much faster than anyone suspects.

If he attacks the UK or Israel with massive terror attacks of some type of WMD, all hell will break lose ASAP. Tony Blair or Sharon will not wait for us to start retaliation.

Also, if intel shows that he intends to try some WMD, GW has told us that we will use preemptive strikes to prevent another 9/11.

If Saddam so much as twitches the wrong way - we're going to shoot first and ask questions later.

One question - if Saddam starts to make a move while the inspectors are still in there, do we try to get the inspectors out? It would be a smart move, IMO, a means of A) preventing hostages and B) it just emphasizes the UN's lack of ability - we had to bail `em out.
