Already, 1,800 US troops (mostly Special Forces) are inside Iraq, at least since the end of March and, in fact, units there were visited two months ago by CIA director George Tenet during a side trip from Israel and Palestine.

I must admit that that paragraph is the one that souded entirely too Debka-like for me. Some of these troop deployments are accurate. Others I don't know about.

But Tenet in Iraq? He doesn't seem to me to be the type to take such a risk, and furthermore I don't see the administration as taking such a risk as allowing someone like that into enemy territory.

President Bush better make another one of those speeches telling us how patient we are, because I am gettting a bit antsy. LOL!
