Sounds about right. March 17 IS the deadline.

[Jim Noble]

But they didn't include the secret Kofi Annan approval code...

[js1138]

This would not be leaking if we didn't want it to leak.

[rhombus]

Good I'll program my VCR.

[big'ol_freeper]

These people need to keep their mouths shut!!

[US_MilitaryRules]

More psyc-ops?

[Billthedrill]

Bovine feces. Strategic war plans are not broadcast to pilots, especially not in the clear.

[tet68]

that he heard the order being relayed to U.S. fighter-jet pilots and others over U.S. military radio communications he intercepted.



Hey Saddam, did you get that too?

Bwahahahahaha!

[way-right-of-center]

Hey, the US DID say we would extend the deadline. We just didn't say how long. Time to Go!

[Tallguy]

Gurdus told Israel's Channel 2 television that he heard the order being relayed to U.S. fighter-jet pilots and others over U.S. military radio communications he intercepted.

Yeah, right.

[Cicero]

The bad cows are about to be turned into kebabs?

[jerseygirl]

Would we really allow info. like this, if true, to be intercepted ? Could this be a ploy (1. to confuse Saddam, 2.to give other countries the impression that it is a done deal and they need to decide whether or not to get onboard-sooner rather than later.)

[finnman69]

The US broadcast attack orders over the radio anyone could intercept....


rrrrrriiigggghhtttt

[Congressman Billybob]

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

There is the practical point that no nation, especially the US government, is in the business of transmitting the date to start a war on an open communications channel to an individual fighter pilot in the Middle East. Anyone who understands the concept of need to know, understands that this article is a steaming pile of horse hockey.

Latest column, now up on UPI, and FR, "Truth, the First Casualty?"

Latest book(let), "to Restore Trust in America."

Gurdus told Israel's Channel 2 television that he heard the order being relayed to U.S. fighter-jet pilots and others over U.S. military radio communications he intercepted.

I can tell you as one who was there in 90-91, this is a total BS article. This is not how its done. Every serviceman over there from boot up to general is being told only one thing - 'Be ready! You could go at any time.'. No one outside of NCA and Centcom will know more than that until the movement order comes down.

[Starrgaizr]

Hey! I heard this too! It came on my neighbor's baby monitor!

[Chairman Fred]

Nope, it'll be March 14th, and this is how I can prove it.

On 9-11-2001, I had an appointment with my dentist to have a crown put on a tooth. We know what happened 9-11-2001.

This Friday, 3-14-2003, I will have another crown put on (another tooth!).

Guaranteed, since everyone knows how much bad luck is involved with dentists. It'll be Friday!!

[Michael.SF.]

the order was relayed by U.S. Central Command to all American forces in the Persian Gulf. Gurdus told Israel's Channel 2 television that he heard the order being relayed to U.S. fighter-jet pilots and others over U.S. military radio communications he intercepted.

I guess they over looked this little comment on the pre flight briefing and decided to make sure everyone was up to speed.

[AgentEcho]

Gee, the Prez got me a war for my birthday.

[Right Wing Professor]

The way he knew they were secret orders, was that they said at the very end, "psst, don't tell anyone, especially the media".

[jlogajan]

He has broken numerous stories

Yeah, leaving it to others to fix them.
