Can't be. CNN does not yet have a logo or theme music.

DEPKA simply makes stories up. It is like the liberal media, but psychotic.

DEBKA's sources wear massive amounts of tinfoil and to date.... have never been proven correct on a anything they have ever published. They are a joke and should be ignored

Bush will address the nation and give enough time for the inspectors and diplomats to leave Iraq. I would say that we get the speech on Tuesday with war starting anytime after that.

Whether the war begins on Monday or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is that Iraqi soldiers will be standing in great long lines at "Surrender Points", hosted and catered by the US military.

I expect that by Wed about 175,000 Iraqi troops will have surrendered.
All that French influence was a bad thing? :D

I would agree, except the Intelligence Community has been in touch with all, if not most Iraqi Generals...

and they have been warned, use WMD and you will regret it soon and for a long time!!

It's nice you could join us yesterday, but I am starting to doubt Arizona!!

DEBKA is starting to remind me of the little piles of steaming, processed grass one tries to avoid when in the pasture at damn.

You can bet they already do--in fact, I'm sure they've got logos and themes for a victory and logos and themes for a quagmire.
