The gripes about Holsinger seem to concern his credentials, though there was a hoot by someone who says Kuwait is too small to deploy a corps. My experience with credential complaints about news commentary is that those generally come from people who feel threatened. They're afraid they can't refute what was said so they attack the guy who said it.
You can generally tell when someone's an idiot about these things. This isn't.
Agreed.
Also agree about the corps comment. However, if we put that many troops in Kuwait, my guess is that they would be "influencing" Saudi Arabia as much as Iraq. They would also help keep our "friends" in the UAE, et al, from panicking, and discourage Iran from anything rash.
My guess is that the actual ground attack on Iraq will be based in Turkey. The logistics are less vulnerable to attack from the surrounding nations.
I have been seeing a pattern of 'credential challenge' on many BBS and web logs whenever the subject of the preparations for an Iraqi invasion comes up.
I was thinking I was paranoid for seeing the pattern because I couldn't take seriously the thought that it was organized.
