Bob Novak makes a United States war with Iraq sound imminent
The signal has spread through the Pentagon: on to Baghdad to get rid of Saddam Hussein, probably in September when the weather should be fine and the United States high tech arsenal will be replentished.
That's what Defense Department policymakers plan, but their cheers are balanced by apprehension among civilian and military career officials.
Some of them are apparently are crossing their fingers for Secretary of State Colin Powell to exert control over the situation. (ugh!-ed.)

Exactly as you said in reply #2.
It will not be in September......(unless something unplanned happens).
Rumsfeld will allow info to float to throw the Iraqis off on this one, I guarantee too. Rumsfeld is very cunning and it is good that he is involved in this exercise to insure a more successful outcome.
He will not lie, but the public and Iraqis just will not be given the complete picture until he is ready and even then you will not learn all at once. For instance, if someone says September in the Pentagon, something very well may be going on with Iraq in September but something else will also be going on with Iraq at a different time also, either before or after September or both.

Hitler had the means to thwart an Allied invasion if he knew where and when it was coming
But he *DID* know where it was coming ... At Pas de Calais. Led by Patton.
I think Novak will discover the timing of the attack and the real target (ever think that all this talk of it being Iraq may be disinformation itself?) when the rest of us do ... when the bombs start falling.

Saudis are sending command and control to Qatar, just type in 'Qatar' on the FR search engine for the story.

I think something is about to go down. Just hope that there aren't any more murder-suicide bombings.

Good analysis.

I was about to say --- why in the world would be give accurate info about such things? Not that Iraq would have a chance, but everyone knows that some element of surprise would help keep our casualty numbers down.
Either this is disinformation, or someone needs a swift kick in the nutsack for spilling the beans.....

Wife just told me that the Pittsburgh Medical Reservists were called up today and told to prepare for up to a two year deployment. They were also told to prepare for hospital operations to handle surgery for up to 240 patients a day. When I hear more I will post the info. The call up itself could be part of a disinfo campaign but who knows.
To: PA Engineer
I don't think this is helpful.
A lot is going on, but I wouldn't post even the little bit I know about.
To: Jim Noble
Don't worry. Any private or secret info shall remain secret. Any public info I'll post simply because it may be disseminated to confuse the enemy or simply something that can not be kept secret. Your concern is noted.
To: PA Engineer
'scuse me, but what about the "Loose lips sink ships" thing? Whether this is part of a disinformation campaign or not, you really shouldn't post this kind of thing.
Same goes for everyone else, including Novak.
To: codebreaker
What ever happened to "loose lips sink ships?" This is like a fall scheduled TV program. Are they going to sell tickets?
To: codebreaker
May those beautiful Daisycutters be falling from the sky.

Bob Novak has never realy given me what it takes to gain my trust as a concervative, however, I hope the guy is on target with this one! Saddam MUST GO for any US victory in the War. I don't doubt that Bush is gunning for Saddam, but all the bad news from the Middle East has risen opposition for a Bush move. I think Bush has the best interests of our nation in mind, I just hope Novak is right when he says we are going into Bahgdad. I think he is right though! (unlike Clinton) I do think Bush is ready to lay it all out their in the name of what is best for this nation... that's just why I voted for him!
