"U.S. officials fear that once President Bush signals the U.S. is headed to war, Saddam Hussein will
strike pre-emptively, administration sources told ABCNEWS. But if the United States takes action to stop an Iraqi first
strike, especially if they try to seize and protect the oil fields, U.S. officials admit they may end up starting the war itself."

But, if, could, would, maybe, especially, may....

I think we should pull everything and everybody out of the Mideast and watch the mainstream media's head just explode right off their shoulders.

Kinda obvious all the news outlets want to be first to "break" the invasion story. Kiss strategic and tactical surprise -GOODBYE- on this war.

Now would be a -great- time to sucker punch North Korea.

Surprise!

Yeah, he'll just be waiting for the phone call from Klinton.
