Senator InHofe (R-OK): Bush will order iraq attack 'fairly soon', attack is 'immenent'.
Bush said otherwise, as (apparently) did Peter King (R -NY) on Hannity's show the other day.
I put my dime on disinformation.
Like I said lining them up like the tin ducks they are!
Black September later known as the PFLP staged the Lod Airport Massacre killing 26 innocents and injuring 76 others, and as planned by one of the leaders at the time Abu Nidal, attacked the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany killing 11 of the Israeli team and seriously injuring 3 others
Also that bit caught my eye. I don't know if Dubya was just seizing upon the opportunity to say that or if he was literally demonstrating something to Saddam. He shows Saddam that he knows the truth by pointing out the exact number of gunshot wounds and then says "you can't hide forever".
Well, if we didn't do it, I would figure Bush's statement also means US Intelligence also knows Saddam didn't have it done. My reasoning, if Bush gave the details to show he knew and then went on to send Saddam the "you can't hide" message- he would have to have known Saddam didn't do it or obviously Saddam would know he was bluffing.
Then again... Maybe Saddam did do it but Bush is giving away that little detail to remind Saddam that we have people on the inside in Iraq- people who he trusts- and that sooner or later he's going to wake up in Hell and look back at his own corpse with a knife sticking out the back.
Who knows? Wheels within wheels. Maybe Israel did it to send a message to Saddam- "we can get you if we have to- we can strike deep"- to encourage him not to use his Scuds against Israel this time around. They're letting him know maybe that they'll retaliate in a way he doesn't expect.
Ach, questions questions. I just hope I don't die before I find out the answers. I hope someone fills us all in on the details one day.
This brings up a good question. Does this mean he wouldn't lie? Are we about to strike soon? (the treason part aside for now)
If he really gave something away, then yes. However, I don't see anything new.
On the positive side, a constant stream of articles and quasi "leaks" like this will make it very hard for good ol Saddam to tell when some jerk leaks the real thing.
In the meantime, if Saddam is stupid (and he ain't too bright...), he'll do something in response to "leaks" like this. The more we see him respond, the better we can plan for it.
Doesn't approval from Congress fit in here somewhere?
Bush gets mad about the americans killed by terriosts in Isreal, but he does nothing about it. He detests people leaking military secrets, but he does nothing about it. Bush is against terriorism but he has done very little about it. He sounds like clinton used to sound when he told the terrorists that they had better stop doing what they were doing. He didn't do anything about it either.
By hope is that he is making like Don Corleone. Let the enemies think they can relax and then end them all in one quick move.
I am sure he is saying exactly what he has been asked to say by military leadership, and furthermore he is right.
My own date for this is the evening Sep 2/3, and it is to be remembered that the new moon will be Sep 5/6, when if a catastrophe for Islam occurs on that date, it is bad luck for them for a whole generation.
That was under the "old" Constitution...
