Israeli monitor intercepts order: War starting on March 18

World Tribune.com ^

[A Texan]

I though it was the Little Orphin Annie secret decoder ring.

[AgentEcho]

...they will be checking their Captain Midnight secret decoder rings for verification.

Great. My Little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring Isn't compatable. I'm never gonna know what's going on now. :(

[Chairman Fred]

Maybe I can have him give me a tin-foil crown...

[savedbygrace]

Somehow, I'm picturing the airplane scene in No Time for Sargeants with Andy Griffith and Nick Adams.

"Ptttt. Ptttt. Hellooo? Hellooo?"

[Dog]

LOL!

[ez]

Yes, by all means, tell the pilots now over an open frequency instead of waiting til they return to tell them in private. After all, they only have a week to prepare.

[RummyChick]

I hope this is right...It would hack me off if something top secret was obtained like this and then leaked...

but I sure hope it is true

[Dog]

LOL!

[upchuck]

Memo to Saddam:

THE WAR STARTS TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 2003

Heh heh. Read my tag line.
My disinfo is better than your disinfo. Wanna have a disinfo war?

[mrb1960]

If this is legit, than why heck IS it being leaked??? Wouldn't we want to keep this secret?

[Redcloak]

Hmmm... Let's see if I can make this smart-ass idea work for y'all...

Here's my reponse to this story...

Where you watching this today or something?

[PsyOps]

Fat Chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These kind of details are not relayed in a means that some yahoo can intercept and decode. You may see an increase in "encrypted" traffic, but you won't know what's being sent.

Good to keep them wondering though.

[Tree of Liberty]

This is the World Tribune. Isn't that one of those supermarket fishwrappers?

I think you're thinking of Weekly World News.

[Michael.SF.]

WHILE THEY ARE PREPARING THEIR DEFENSE!!

In a related story, an Iraqi spokesmen denied any reports that Raider defensive co-ordinator Steve Bresnahan (pictured below) had been approached to help shore up the defense of the vaulted Iraqi defensive line. The spokeman added:

48-21?? That's better then we did last time around.

[Centurion2000]

These people need to keep their mouths shut!!

I wouldn't sweat this .... there has been so much disinfo we could have the equivalent of an Operation OverLord crossword puzzle with the REAL invasion dates and no one will catch it.

[ernie pantuso]

Yeah, how would the air guys know? After all, they are only the "helpers".

[Dog]

LOL!!

Cold.....man your cold!

LOL!

[Redcloak]

I have an easier time believing that an autistic child could read these codes than a reporter with a shortwave radio.

; )

[CougarGA7]

I agree. I look at this entire report kind of sarcastically (ie. see post 38).

I find it difficult to believe that there would be an uncoded ground to air transmission of war plans to pilots that would find out during any debriefing on the ground.

I hope that this line put out there is sucked up by Saddam and we go in on the 17th (or earlier) and catch him with his pants down.
