Everything DEBKA reports as correct is simply previously reported from a network or a newswire; the remaining 20% of stuff they make up, or simply don't understand (example: their laughable conclusion that since Chinese small arms ammo was found in AQ caves in Afghanistan, that meant China directly supported AQ.)

I think this sounds accurate. If we are to be in Baghdad by Sunday or Monday this would make sense..

beginning of the Bagdad assault is scheduled to coincide with opening of the Academy Awards.

Just one guy's opinion, but I suspect we'll do a "hurry up and wait" once we get to Baghdad. Rather than simply assault, we'll spend some time trying to talk the RG and SPG units out without a fight.
