I don't think President Bush has given the order yet but it could be in the next couple of days. Right now Washington is waiting to see if Baghdad blinks.

[ironwill]

Is this the "fake-out" plan that gets "leaked" so as to divert from the "real" plan?

[ConservativeMan55]

Its possible this is a fake plan....everybody knows that the New York Times is going to run with this as soon as it gets it, no matter what the source.

[Doctor Raoul]

We're reading this third hand. The NYT sent this info to SADDAM first, then Drudge and now us.

[thinktwice]

Loose lips sink ships, and leftist newspapers lose wars.

[Doctor Raoul]

Let's see if the National Enquirer runs that same story. The NE scoops the NYT regularly on hard news.

[jerod]

I've gone to Drudge & I don''t see any siren.

[Libloather]

Bush has settled on war plan...

RATS take yet another dump...

[breakem]

There are deadlines for Saddam to meet in the UN resolution. Bush will not give the order in a couple of days. The first deadline is Friday November 15. Follow the dates in the resolution and you will see critical points when action may be order of Saddamn doesn't comply.

Attack on Iraq Betting Pool

[KriegerGeist]

"Quarteback sneak on 3".
You fake left and go right...
Some black ops is probably going to take out this guy and his "stunt double" look-alikes along with his generals...in their sleep.

"Look! nothing up my sleeve, nothing in my hand, nothing in my hat....KA-BOOM! Weren't expecting that were ya??? A deadly mistake like that could make ya "Saddam" mad sometimes you could just have an WOMD fit!

[demlosers]

Already posted on FR from the The NY Times: War Plan in Iraq Sees Large Force and Quick Strikes

[hole_n_one]

Of course it was already on FR before Drudge had it........

but, where's the large font and the siren?

[Arkie2]

Everybody knows we're going in and approximately when. Tactical surprise is still possible though and it really doesn't much matter anyway. For instance, the Dallas Cowboys know every play Green Bay will run at them but the outcome won't change.

[demlosers]

Ya got me beat there.

[demlosers]

[mware]

This sounds like a fake out to me. In any case, this must be giving the generals in Iraq pause.

The president was pretty blunt in what would happen to them if they used WMD on our troops or the civilians.

[Pokey78]

Probably got this from the NYT's expert on midlde eastern affairs, Maureen Dowd.
