don't know why they're moving west, unless they think we're going to do another left hook. Looking at a map of Iraq, even if we did a "left hook", a westward deployment of troops would be a foolish defense against the US. The original hook, as well as virtually all of the oil and political/military targets in Saudi Arabia, are southeast of Baghdad.

Remember how that Iraqi plane going into Saudi airspace all of a sudden got the Saudi's off the dime -- we have quite a few soldiers stationed at a Saudi base near the border with Iraq and my understanding that our planes are ready!
Note how Saudi has been very quiet in all of this. Believe we already have the agreements in place to once again use Saudi to launch.
