Over 100,000 US and UK troops along Iraq's borders? We're starting to talk real forces here. I wonder how many of them are Special Forces?

Of course, Carl will still claim that they are just there for routine war games -g-

<<The sources said that the USA is redeploying some 60,000 American and British troops along the Kuwaiti - Iraqi borders, and 15,000 on the Jordanian - Iraqi borders, and other 30,000 troopers in the Kurdish area to the north of Iraq, so far 8,000 of them arrived through the Turkish territories.>>

That seems to negate the posts here that say the countries in the area won't allow any staging places for the US.
