It's impossible to keep up with all the posts and rumors, etc. on this, but you're the first one I've seen post what I've been feeling.

Remember those old Western movies when the good guys (cavalry, cowboys, etc.) move into a town with little or no resistance? Most of them are whooping it up and high fiving on a victory but there's always one guy (we hope it's the one in charge) who says something like "It's quiet in here...TOO quiet!" Right before all hell breaks loose. I call it the "Rock Ridge" scenario ala Blazing Saddles.

That's the same feeling I'm getting here, except w/o the comedy relief. Hussein or his senior command may be drawing folks in toward Baghdad and intending to go out in a blaze of CBW glory.

I really hope I'm wrong, but as Quasimodo said, it's just a hunch I've got...

It seems logical, with what Uday, Saddam's son said the other day....that the mothers and wives of our soldiers will weep blood from their eyes, and that they would send our soldiers home in body bags, "...by the thousands".

I'm very worried about the drone airplanes. Or, some attack similar to the Marine Barracks truck bombing in Lebanon, under Reagan's watch.
