hard to have any sort of surprise element when the liberal media won't shaddup!

That's what bugs me. On the other hand, I heard a report (speculation really) that we might be considering attacking Irag on 9/11. I would think that it would be a good idea to float an idea like that and then hit them on 9/12, just when they're sighing a breath of relief.

Of course, I take all of the various reports with the grain of salt because each report seems to contradict the one before it.

Maybe that's the strategy -- flood the airwaves with so many conflicting reports that none of the reports can be taken seriously. That way if the real plan is leaked, who will be able to tell it apart from all of the other reports.

Hi everybody. Interesting discussion this evening. I am also someone of the mind that 9/12 would be an appropriate time to invade Iraq. 9/11 is evidently going to be a big day of memorials and news coverage. I think it's important to not invade on 9/11, because everyone in this country--everyone in the world--needs to watch the memorials, replaying of the terrorist attacks, etc. all day long, again without the distraction of other world events. The timing of an invasion on 9/12 would be like the government saying to our 'allies' (and even to many in this country) "Remember that? THAT was why we have to do what we're doing today."
