Hi D. Long; Re: "I wonder what IS up with the Saudis moving troops to the Jordan border?" Maybe it's another right wing Israeli / DEBKA fantasy / futile exercise in wishful thinking. Why this thread bothers to quote them is beyond me. DEBKA has already announced that (a) China would be sending thousands of troops to help the Taliban in Afghanistan, (b) the US was massing troops for an invasion of Iraq, (c) the "US campaign in Afghanistan achieved very little", but that Israeli's nuclear weapons would be used in the war on terror, (d) the US would need to use nukes in Afghanistan, and (e), Russia would invade Afghanistan (again) but this time on behalf of the US. For the details see: #reply-16940025 The BS from DEBKA is interesting but implausible, with very little true insight (as measured by correct predictions) into the situation in the Middle East (or anywhere else). Life is short. Before you use up too much of it thinking deeply about DEBKA ideas, you might consider their track record. Nadine says it's not so good outside Israel: #reply-16940192 -- Carl
