Official says Bush could wait to give "go" order and let Iraqi military "stare up at the sky for a little bit"

Sorry if this was posted already, thought this would answer some questions on what's up. This was just a blurb on CNN's site. That was all it said.

Sure sets ones nerves on edge...waiting...looking...wondering...worrying. Good psy-ops.

"stare up at the sky for a little bit"

LOL!

If the cruise missiles hit first, then they would not have launched until 8pm EST. I think that if you add an hour or so to the 8pm deadline, then the time we would first hit them would be more like 9pm

Good God, I"M ON PINS AND NEEDLES and I'm in Az, they must be dying in Baghdad.

It's sure working on me, LOL.

On the radio home from work tonight they said the only businesses open in Baghdad are gun shops doing brisk business.

I was just outside looking up in the air and I'm in Alabama, lol.

How about this: Bush bombs a little and stops, bombs a little and stops, totally different scenario than what's been put out.

He does this in the hopes of frying the nerves of the Iraqui troops and leaders and maybe someone will put a bullet in Saddam.

What do you think?

While they are developing stiff-neck from staring up at the sky, they will probably be side-lined by a cruise missile. At least, that's my hope.

I may be imagining it but I hear alot of helicopters over baltimore now, maybe it is usual but they are buzzing around. I realized today that I am truely scared, like really scared a terrorist attack will happen here in Baltimre. Tell me I am nuts.

In the NFL this is known as "icing" the kicker. A very effective psychological strategem...

Nice clear night here in mid Tennessee. Did you see anything?

[My Favorite Headache]

Good God, I"M ON PINS AND NEEDLES and I'm in Az, they must be dying in Baghdad.>>>>>>>>

They will be soon...literally.

[yooper]

I think we'll see a few days of this, not hours.

[oceanview]

Well, my first idea did not materialize tonight. I would have flown some drones over the city tonight exactly at the zero hour, to force the Iraqi AAA to open up. Alot of the fire would have hit parts of the city on the way down, would have been a real morale breaker. They probably would have kept firing for hours.

"Tell me I am nuts."

Show us your nuts.

[Blood of Tyrants]

That is what I hypothecized on another thread. A little skirmish here, a bombing there all to make the Iraqis stay alert for way more than the optimum.

No, it's cloudy here in East Tennessee!
