The administration is dropping hints, but I was under the impression that our arsenal was severely depleted and it would take many months to build it back up to the level where we'd be comfortable starting another big fight.

From what I have read of the ordnance situation, I think a move on Iraq is still far away.

Depends what World Net means by 'military action'-that could just be taking out Iraq's airforce.

Or that is what they want the enemy to believe and then... wammo...surprise attack.

That could be disinformation. I would be surprised if the President had not ordered a massive amount of ordnance on September 12. That stuff would be pouring into inventory by now.

"the ordnance situation"

My source says that the suppliers have been working 24/7 since October.
