I dunno, man. I say sneak attack. Moonless night. Special Ops. Stealth bombers. Cruise missles. Decapitating strike.

This notion of giving Saddam months to disperse forces, incl missles targeted on Tel Aviv, and to distribute nerve agents and small pox to his terrorist buddies, has me really, really nervous. Even giving him weeks is, at this point, extremely dangerous IMHO.

The downside? If we go without getting all our ducks in a row, internationally speaking, we (the U.S.) could get stuck with paying the full bill. It'll be something like 20 to 30 billion (including the one to five years of sheparding and security that will have to be provided to the new government).

Would this be the sneak attack that has been trumpeted in the New York Times for months now?

Remember when the government used to be able to stay out of our private lives while keeping its own military operations a secret?

I think Bush IS going for the sneak attack - any day now. The rest is to throw Saddam off guard.
