Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "Remind me again what supplies the 8,000 American troops in Jordan are "resupplying"? -g-" So your implication is that those 8000 troops are going to push Saddam Hussein over. These exercises (which happen every 6 months or so and have been going on since 1996) are over in a few months. After they're over, and there still is no war with Iraq, are you going to admit that you were wrong, or are you just going to retreat to predicting war being the cover for the next month's exercises like you did back when you were wrong, wrong, wrong about the war starting in February or May? I guess what I'm asking is this: How many times do you have to be wrong about your prediction of war before you admit that you are just completely, totally wrong? One way to be wrong is to cry "peace, peace", but there is no peace. The other way is to cry "war, war", but there is no war. Yes, sometimes there is a war, sometimes there is a peace, but those who only predict one and never the other, are just as wrong as a stopped clock. -- Carl P.S. Some more links you should consider as evidence that Saddam Hussein was already forced from power years ago: More than 4,000 U.S. Marines took part in the wargames, designed to demonstrate "U.S. commitment to regional security and (willingness to) provide increased inter-operability between U.S. naval amphibious forces and Jordanian infantry and air units," a U.S. embassy statement said. jordanembassyus.org Evidence that the US linked up with Egypt to force Saddam out of power in 1999: defenselink.mil Also see: 216.239.33.100
