TGS has been correct up till now, no full scale attack on Iraq, but like TGS stated, Bush has had his foot on the accelerator while the rest of those 'in the know' have had their foots on the brakes. IMHO - The brakes are about to melt off. Now you can jump up and down about being right when that happens, but you might want to be a little careful because they still have 'no clue' as to who sent the anthrax and the blackmailing letters.

No, that's simply stating: "the attack hasn't happened yet, ergo, my first assumtions about the situation are entirely correct". Then insert cut and paste links about anthrax to prove your point, Q.E.D.. That's just nonsense. If you follow Occam's Razor, the more prosaic and realistic reasons have to do with logistics and political factors (i.e.: getting troops in place and lining up allies, something that wasn't in place last summer) appear far more reasonable.

The only people who have had their feet on the brakes have been the folks at State, if only because that's the institutional culture of that department. I don't believe it has anything to do with anthrax. The rest of the "in the know" crowd, Rice, Rumsfeld, and Cheney, have all been full speed ahead on the entire issue.

One thing: I am in no way denying Saddam's potential ability to use anthrax, VX, etc., on a massive scale in this country using cutouts. I am saying that I believe TGS to be wrong when he indicates that the attack will not happen because Saddam has seeded this country with anthrax-carrying sleeper cells. That was the central thrust of his entire thesis. It is as wrong as wrong can be and is easily disproven by a casual look at the current deployment schedule.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Occam's Razor is a concept developed by a hairless ape living in a complex universe.

Russia. Which has otherwise been with Bush. Remember Putin and Bush riding in his truck together ? Russia's current stance is even more odd since it just banned the mere existance of some Islamic Organizations within Russia. I wonder if they got UN approval to do that ?

The rest of the "in the know" crowd, Rice, Rumsfeld, and Cheney, have all been full speed ahead on the entire issue.

That the Bush Team, minus of course Powell who was recently still looking for an exile golden parachute for Saddam.

Okay. It appears to be close to a full moon. Next new moon is in about two weeks. We began the air war in gulf war 1 on a new moon. Of course to me this is 'deja vu all over again'. Been looking at the moon since prior to mid-term elections.
