Debka said that back in February. No, they said the build up was on going and the war would begin soon. The US government leaks information like a sieve. Mostly what it wants to leak. The Pentagon, I've noticed, does NOT want to leak the positions and activities of its men in the field. They've learned the lessons of Vietnam. Reporters in Afghanistan saw what they were meant to see. If it did happen, why aren't the Iraqis screaming to the United Nations that their territory has been invaded? Because it's been going on for eleven years under UN sanctions. Skirmishing over Iraq is not exactly new news. Where's CNN? Al Jazeera? Why hasn't anyone been killed? CNN's reporting has been timid and formulaic lately imo, and as I said, Iraq skirmishes are in themselves not much of a story. I don't follow Al Jazeera because I don't speak Arabic. Memri says that the Iraqi government just shut their Baghdad offices for 10 days in some tiff over control. As for the dead, have American media reported any dead Iraqis in the last eleven years?
