President Bush had a previously undisclosed meeting last week with General Tommy Franks, commander of United States forces in Afghanistan, to dicuss what was described on Sunday as 'concrete' military plans to attack Iraq.

'One of the meetings that wasn't reported this week was a briefing by General Franks in the Oval Office of the President on Wednesday revealed 'Fox News Sunday' panelist Bill Kristol, citing an unnamed administration source.

Kristol said that the Bush-Franks meeting indicates that the administration had decided to take action against Iraq regardless of the status of Middle East peace talks adding, 'Bush may be moving faster than we think in preparing to get rid of Saddam.'

I'm with Chris here as he stated above, there is a darn good chance that the CIA or his own people will get rid of the family first.

I agree too leaks in this adminstration are so few they are only purposeful, all part of the rid-of Saddam plan.

I am of the school of thought that says use our airpower with regional troops just like Afghanistan.

Let the Turks go house to house in Baghdad, because that is where this is headed eventually

Just thought you'd like to know what Bill Kristol is up to now

Guess it's not secret anymore.

"Kristol said that the Bush-Franks meeting indicates that the administration had decided to take action against Iraq regardless of the status of Middle East peace talks adding, 'Bush may be moving faster than we think in preparing to get rid of Saddam.'"

I sure hope so. It's overdue.

I'm always hearing that stuff about another will rise up just as evil.

I don't believe that. There are few as evil as Saddam, and it sounds like an excuse to do nothing.

I know that Krystal's "rumors of wars" is an exciting, adrenaline-pumping thing to behold, but don't put too much faith in them.

Just for the short term, Syria is on the UN Security Council this month and Israel's astronaut isn't scheduled to go up on the Space Shuttle until next month.

Both of those events will pass long before we take action, so relax a little; we've got plenty of time before we fire up the barbeque.

Also, ask yourself this: what happens if Bin Laden and Omar pop up in a non-Iraqi, non-Pakistan country in the next few months? Would we want to be in the middle of an Iran/Iraq blitz when that happens...

I wouldn't be too hard on FOX News, Carl Cameron held the story about the National Security Agency getting the 'Tomorrow is Zero Hour message' and 'the match is beginning ' on Sept 10 (that they couldn't translate till Sept 12) for 3 weeks before CNN broke the embargo and aired it this week to damage the Administration.

Tony Snow and Brit are the good guys all they have is the seven second delay on the live program if Kristol shoots his mouth off.

[codebreaker]

I think John Edwards is the leaker on Senate Intelligence, he needs to butter up the media for the big run in 2004 by serving up some juicy tidbits..or Feinswine if she runs

[codebreaker]

Good point on Syria.

[Bandolier]

Perhaps they broadcast it because they know that Kristol is less accurate than Miss Cleo.

[ClancyJ]

Too bad Fox News does not understand Loose Lips Sink Ships.

And Kristol. What part of secret does he not understand? What part of aiding the enemy do either of them not understand. They will unnamed source anything in the world. Here's hoping they never get info on any U.S. planned attack or they might be responsible for many deaths and I'm sure they don't have the patriotism and respect for their co-Americans to keep their blasted mouths shut.

"Feinswine if she runs"
If only, it would be a dream come true. With Gloria Allred as VP, and Helen Thomas as Attorney General. Should we throw in El Reno just so we have the ugliest four women in America, instead of the ugliest three?

Did you notice that Feinswine didn't rule out running in the L.A. Times?

I heard Wolf Blitzer say on CNN today that CNN's source was congressional.
