British defense sources said that the USA is deploying in Kuwait and Jordan weapons for 45,000 troops that will be transported next week.

The sources said that the USA is redeploying some 60,000 American and British troops along the Kuwaiti - Iraqi borders, and 15,000 on the Jordanian - Iraqi borders, and other 30,000 troopers in the Kurdish area to the north of Iraq, so far 8,000 of them arrived through the Turkish territories.

The same sources indicated that these forces will use tanks stored in the Kuwaiti al-Doha base, and the fighters of the Shiite groups in the south, especially the "Bader" contingent, led by Ayatullah Muhammad Baqer al-Hakim, currently existing in Iran.

Gen Franks probably held the plan about 2 inches above the desk, but it never actually came into direct contact with it.
A-ha!

Actually, I think it depends upon how you define the word "is" - sorta like how one might say, "the plan 'is' not on my desk."

Sadamm, you think it was funny and fun when your cohorts hijacked a few planes and murdered some Americans???

And you pulled this off using the name of some god you call allah and a fake religious murdering cult. Well Saddy, the God of Creation did NOT give the inheritance to Esau and we are on the side of the rightful heirs, and you know it...So who's side do you think God is really on???

Well buckle up cause you're in for the ride of your life/death...And I hope you survive long enough to see the devastation you have brought on your people and family...

And borrowing the words of a "great patriotic American",

"Let's Roll!!!!"

I won't be surprised...I read on here somewhere that George B anticipates the Congressional vote on the war to take place before the end of Oct...

I would like to see all travel in and out of Iraq halted immediately...Hate to have Saddam and his family escape the fireworks before they start...

I also read that Tommy D. doesn't want a vote before then. My bet is that operations are planned for Nov.1 first (no October Suprise-heh,heh) and by Oct.1 the pressure will be overwhelming on Congress to S*** or get off the pot.

Actually, Jordan signed some kind of trade deal with the U.S. earlier this year. Not sure, but I think it was a free trade agreement of some kind. In any case, Jordan has billions of reasons to side with us — all green.

As of yesterday, the word was that the Senate Dems were trying to weasle out of holding a vote on a resolution before the elections.

"the plan 'is' not on my desk."

Actually, I took it to mean "The plan is not on my desk anymore."

Plans dont sit on desks any more. They occupy disk space on a server somewhere. Top people don't read plans any more -- they attend PowerPoint presentations
