I wonder if Saddam is quaking in his boots? Is it all a scare campaing to destabilize Iraq? ala Reagan's "Star Wars" campaign?

[Militiaman7]

Senator InHofe (R-OK) should be jailed. Talk about aiding the enemy.

[toast]

What commities is Inhofe on? Does he have access to sensitive information? Is he leaking classifed stuff?

[hoosierboy]

Inhofe is good man, and a devout christian. I can't believe he is out telling everybody this. Hey senator shut your trap! Loose lips sink ships.

[lsee]

If the senator is leaking, he will soon be in deep trouble. I've heard Bush detests this kind of behavior.

[mhking]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. When's the next NYT story - oops, they're busy hosing down the sidewalk.

When's the next Washington Post or Time or CNN or Dallas Morning News or Arizona Republic or Detroit Free Press or Indianapolis Star/News or New Orleans Times-Picayune or...

You get the picture. This sounds like yet more smoke and mirrors.

The only other thing to say is that the next new moon is on 9/7. Do you really think we'd telegraph our punch that far in advance?

Naaaaaaaaa...

[PoorMuttly]

I have it on VERY solid authority that we have been beaming mind-control waves into Iraq for quite some time now, which by now should undoubtedly be having their effect. The less Saddam says about it, either the more frightened he is...or the better it is working.

Won't be long now. Trust me.

[blam]

I heard someone else say this, imminent, the other day too.

[Dog Gone]

"Fairly soon" and "imminent" are two quite different things.

I say "fairly soon" when my mother asks when I'm going to visit her.

[Centurion2000]

Senator InHofe (R-OK): Bush will order iraq attack 'fairly soon', attack is 'immenent'.

I hoped they filmed him or recorded him actually saying this. This is by definition, treason.

Before anyone says otherwise imagine if someone blurbed on national news that we were planning to invade Normandy.

[widgysoft]

anyone here care to guess the date?

i'll say 1st September....

[Charlie OK]

ironic that I clicked on this when I did... Sen Inhofe is getting ready to talk to my local radio talk guy here in Tulsa, and it sounds as if they are going to ask him about it. I will listen and try to report back ASAP (may be tomorrow).

[Feiny]

I predict January 2003...maybe delayed until February.

[Magnum44]

InHofe won't know any more than the rest of us about an attack until a few hours before GW comes on TV to tell us about it, which will be a few hours after the steel starts falling.

This is the way it works. Plans will have been made. They are constantly being updated and massaged. At some point a go date and hour will be decided. The rubberband will start to wind up so as to be snapped at the go hour. Any time up to that the operation can be halted, and in fact wont proceed unless the final approval is given. Given approval, the operation begins a short phase where it will proceed unless a late decision is made to halt it. This phase usually lasts from time of first launch of combat aircraft to first bombs away ( a few hours ). Lacking a last minute change of mind, the war will begin.

[George W. Bush]

This war talk might be an attempt to encourage the natives (military) to just shoot Saddam and save themselves a lot of trouble with us.

[LiteKeeper]

Can we announce it in any more media outlets?
Have we filed an evironmental impact report with the Iraqi government?
And we have them sent official notification of intent to attack and invade?
Can our elected representatives be any more ignorant?

[sanchmo]

Psst, Saddam:
Beware the ides of September.

American Heritage Dictionary:
ides
The 15th day of March, May, July, or October or the 13th day of the other months in the ancient Roman calendar.

[KineticKitty]

If this isn't dis-information, he needs to be shot. Although it just occured to me... what message would we be sending if say... if we invaded iraq on 9/11 2002. Makes you go hmmmm....

[teletech]

Don't the Domino's pizza orders increse in D.C. right before we attack?

[Delmarksman]

Personally, me thinks that we are giving Sodumm the double reverse shuck and jive.

We keep letting these things "slip" to see what happens on the ground in Iraq.

sorta like waving your hand at the cat, just to see if it jumps and which way it goes if it does.
