Add to the call for morticians, the massive ordering of the following body bags and coffins...it looks like the Busheviks expect a lot of collateral damage on our side, the first week....
"But in a grim sign of America's intentions, as many as 100,000 body bags and 6,000 coffins were reported to have been secretly delivered to a US military base in Italy as President Bush became even more determined on war." (the coffins are probably for the commissioned officers, ncos will be cremated, after 180 days or more combat, military personnel is being told they will get 2.3 FHA loans for buying homes, but what about those who die the first week?) ISOLATED BUSH AND BLAIR SHUN NEW PEACE PLAN Feb 10 2003
By Stephen White
BRITAIN and America stood alone last night against the world push for peace.
As Russia and China backed a plan by France and Germany to head off war with Iraq, President Bush and Tony Blair remained defiant.
Bush warned that the United Nations could be brushed aside and said: "One thing is certain - for the sake of peace and the sake of security, the United States and our friends and allies, we will disarm Saddam Hussein if he will not disarm himself."
The UN chief weapons inspectors spoke of a possible breakthrough after two days of talks with officials in Baghdad.
Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, who will report to the UN Security Council on Friday, said they believed they had seen the start of a "change of heart" by the Iraqis.
But in a grim sign of America's intentions, as many as 100,000 body bags and 6,000 coffins were reported to have been secretly delivered to a US military base in Italy as President Bush became even more determined on war.
France and Germany outlined a route to a resolution, involving a huge step-up in weapons inspections - backed by United Nations troops with French air patrols.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin supports the idea and fellow big-hitter China is also thought to be in broad agreement mirror.co.uk. |
