FoxNews Alert just reported that Iraqi troops have left Baghdad with heavy artillary and are heading south to the Kuwaiti boarder. More troops with SCUD missle launchers are heading west. The thought is that Saddam is about to attack our troops.

This is breaking news and details are few and far between.

TURN ON FOX

[Jhoffa_]

I have reduced my viewing of his show when he started calling for federal involvement 4 out of 5 days a week.

I take comfort in the fact that I was not the only one to notice this..

[katana]

There aren't going to be any surprises. If Fox News knows about this what do you think the screen watchers at NSA have been looking at?

[arkady_renko]

Sounded a lot like this story from ABC.

This has got to be an error, maybe they are prepositioning troops as we did BUT they are NOT going to ATTACK!

[ghostrider]

We sure have been thumping our chest for a long time.

"Why would Blix say anything about SCUDS - they are not banned weapons, are they? They certainly travel less than the 95 mile limit..."

Absolute BS. See FAS Guide: Iraqi missiles

Perhaps you don't remember that Riyahd and Tel Aviv were hit with Scuds during the 1991 war. Both of these places are considerably more than 95 miles from what was then Iraqi-held territory.

SS-21 150km, same as AL Samoud
SCUD-B 300km
SCUD-C 550km
SCUD-D 750km

[slimer]

Are we really in Kuwait?

No, Iraq is in Kuwait. We are trying to get them out of Kuwait...

no, wait that was the last time. I dunno where we are?

[Trust but Verify]

Saddam might be insane, but he is not stupid. There will be no pre-emptive attack.

[dalebert]

They could be marching out to surrender.

[StriperSniper]

Damn! surfing for more info I just caught the last few seconds of Richard Perle on Kudlow & Kramer.

[jwalsh07]

So Saddam is moving his troops? So what, we've been moving troops around for months now.

Well, strictly from the American GI's point of view, artillery shells capable of delivering VX inside the kill radius are a no-no.

[cabin]

IF THIS IS TRUE would this be in the no fly zone,an would they not be toast by now.There would be planes everywhere bombing them .

[prairiebreeze]

The heck with the UN,If he launches scuds at Israel again this time all HE$$ gonna break loose

Someone on this or another thread speculated that's precisely what he might be up to. Hit Israel, force them to retaliate and turn it into a ME vs. US/Isreal war

[small voice in the wilderness]

Wouldn't you just know it. The war starts down south and geraldo is up north. Or east. Or west.

[jacquej]

Maybe Israel will help us out a bit here, and do what they did to the Iran nuclear reactor, and take out what they perceive as a threat to them, getting the "ball", so to speak, rolling.

Anyone checking on the pizza deliveries in D.C.?

[GOPyouth]

We need to get this headline changed. This is saying that the attack has already happened.

[talleyman]

Ignorance is Blix

We have a winner!

[knak]

welcome back

thanks, I missed the place

"We sure have been thumping our chest for a long time"

No kidding! Maybe Saddam is trying to get us to take the first shot before the UN allows us (/sarcasm). Or maybe he's playing around with our troops who have been on egde in the desert for quite some time.
