On today's progam, Rush Limbaugh suggested that everyone should be prepared for the "imminent" invasion of Iraq. He continued by saying that the administration is very concerned about just how close Saddam is to Weapons of Mass Destruction or WMD's.
I recently attended a breakfast meeting and Chuckie Schumer was the speaker. His forceful statement that an Iraq invasion was to be expected sooner rather than later made an impression on me.
With Colin Powell in the Middle East, following a Cheney visit, and the Blair meeting with Bush in Texas last week, I'm beginning to believe that an invasion really is imminent.
Other signs are the increased statements of concern from many Arab states including Saudia Arabia, Turkey, and others.
I suspect we will soon be hearing about things that will also point to this such as reservists getting the "word" to be prepared for something, troop movements, etc.
I believe an imminent invasion is likely and is necessary.
