all government agencies to prepare for war by November 1st

Present their plans by 1 Nov. A little different than war by 1 Nov.

In any case, all government agancies already have emergency plans. Also, the military and civil defense are the only ones who are always ready and will actually have something to do in case of war. The rest will wait until the dust settles before venturing forth on their mail routes again.

What I think is happening now is that we are applying so much pressure on Saddam in hopes that he will do something stupid--like attack Israel in some way. Then Israel is going to unload with both barrels--and we will clean up the mess that resulted when the $hit hit the fan.

Thanks for the link. On that front page did you read Twelve months past ..wheres the outrage? It was something I have been wondering myself. Of course I had these same feelings with OKC,the Cole..etc.

I think the headline is misleading. The article implies the headline should read "All government agencies to prepare, by November 1st, for war."

The difference between those two statements is not small.
