Western intelligence sources confirmed earlier reports that Iraq had moved troops near the border with Jordan.

Remember, 95%+ of these poor BASTARDS are conscripts who are facing death because of Sadam INSANE's leadership! Just as in the last conflict, the vast majority will surge towards surrender (if surviving the "friendly fire" from their "comrades in arms..(the other 5%)"....

We can't get Mullah Omar or Usama. How would we get all the key players in two days?

Maybe the deal is Jordan gives up land for a Palestinian state and gets a piece of Iraq in return. Just a guess.

I don't think the Jordanians would really think that was a fair trade. Remember, they were terribly brutal on the Palestinians several years back when they threw them OUT of Jordan. Also I believe the part of Iraq that is closest to Jordan is pretty much waste land.

And this time, no caves.

Unfortunatley there are caves in Iraq, in the northeast. Some of the WMD facilities, including a supposed dirty bomb project are or were located there,as well as hidey holes for Saddamn. I think that's what our new 30,000 lb bunker buster, which Northrop-Grumman wants to build is for. Failing that being available, the new thermobaric bomb with delay fuse along with the old 5,000 lb bunker buster from Dessert Storm, should do the job.

Yes, We are seeing it happen as the Bible says it will. Ezekiel Chs. 38 & 39 getting ready to go down?

OBL has been dead since before Dec 13th 2001. He remains so.

He's holding that flank. He won't make the same mistake twice.

Maybe Saddam is thinking "what do I have to lose? Launch everything I have at Israel first!" He would be a total fool to allow us to strike first. Don't be suprised.....

True, Daisy Cutters weren't made for caves - but they used two or three on caves in Afganistan with pretty devistating results. That big a noise is probably pretty effective wherever and whenever its used.

During the battle of Tora Bora there was a sudden flush of cell phone activity from the area shortly after a Daisy Cutter was dropped. I beleive that al-Qada's great leader OBL was killed at that point and the phone activity was the initial panic after his death.
