saddam will kill those who spoke with us and many more.

The plan describes a popular new Iraqi leader who must not be seen as an American puppet. (He doesn't have long for this world.) The entire campaign could take eight weeks in ideal conditions, it says, but American ground troops would be required to stay longer to ensure stability.

The idea is said to have split the Bush administration, with Donald Rumsfeld, the defense secretary, and John Bolton, the senior official responsible for arms control, sympathetic to a campaign starting as early as this spring, and Colin Powell, the secretary of state, being rather cooler.

Iraqi opposition figures have held several meetings with White House officials.(They don't have long for this world.) One said: "There seems no question now that they're going after Saddam. It's not a question of whether; it's a question of when."

The article makes no mention that the CIA has twice vowed to back Iraqi opposition forces in coup attempts, then left them hanging......literally at the hands of Saddam. We have no credibility with Iraqi opposition groups anymore.
