There's nothing here that would fit the "loose lips, sink ships" notion. What do you think is Bravo Sierra?
All of this has been either previously reported or reflects expected outcomes for next week. We all know a televised ultimatum will occur since there won't be a UN one and Bush did the same thing against the Taliban. The only reasonable ultimatum would have nothing to do with Iraq's disarmament-- that would just toss this ball back to the UN. Also, we have said numerous times (Powell, Bush, Rumsfeld) that we support coups or exile to remove Hussein from power.
Every commentator I've seen on TV has said they expect war to occur within 7 days of Tuesday. We also know that morale in Iraq among soldiers and commanders is poor-- it's all fear-based. No one has any "loyalty" to Hussein, because he has no loyalty for them-- he'd kill them in a minute if he thought it would improve his life in any way.

Speaking of morale...my cousin "who is in theater", called my Aunt and said that his unit is getting very edgy. They are doing alot repetitive training without knowing whats going to happen tomorrow.
He said they're not scared, they're just getting a little jumpy. He said they need to get going real soon or they'll start to get at each other..which is already the case in some units. He said the desert dis-orients you like no other place he's ever been. We need to get this war on or go home.
My sentiments exactly.
God bless Jason and keep him safe!
