Some operatives have faded into the woodwork . . .

. . . and lots have apparently faded into Iraq for further training.

Kennedy: "Israel will retailliate possibly with nuclear weapons... this escalation spirals out of control... there is a fundamental threat to Israel.

Nor can we rule out the possibility that Saddam will assault US forces with chemcial and biolgoical weapons...

Just under 70,000 have been mobilized for the War against Terrorism... if we embark on the war against Iraq... our force strength will be stretched even thinner...

If we must take that course, our burden should be shared with allies and that is less likely if war becomes an immediate response...

This is pretty series. He will be played more than gore and daschle - his views represent the hopes and dreams/aspirations of most reports, newswhores. He is calling the administration on the basic facts - IRAQ IS AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE PART OF THE WAR ON TERROR.

Bush better have ammo left to fire back. It's been my contention all along that they have some major Al-Qaeda/Iraq aces in the hole but here's Kennedy saying - I've seen it all and there's NOTHING. Not a little, not some unconfirmed yada, but NOTHING. Now I'm a little scared since most people will believe what the news spouts and they will SPURT this.

I pray Rummy, Bush, Cheney, Rice, Blair, Ari have a counterattack on this - right away or this will tear apart our efforts to defend ourselves. An we might end up nuked, anyway.
