Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "Earlier this week, for example, about 2,000 Marines and Navy sailors initiated ground and naval training exercises, dubbed "Eager Mace," with the military of Kuwait, which borders Iraq."

Eager Mace dates to 1994:

DefenseLink.mil, December 20, 1994
...
No. The Essex ARG is still involved in Exercise Eager Mace, and it will finish that up this week--about the 23rd. It may well then at that point begin to head south.

Re: "Just for you, and related to connecting the dots."

I haven't done a "connect the dots" since I was about 4 years old.

Re: "Seems all those "routine" war games weren't so routine after all."

So are you moving up the date for your predicted war with Iraq? I've got you down for April 2003, but with your rhetoric it seems that you should move the date up. It only took the US what, 4 months to establish a multilateral army and begin festivities after the invasion of Kuwait. So why the big delay now, LOL? Come on, you can do it. Say there's going to be a war by January 31st.

Re: "And you can quit posting the reservist mobilization figures now. They're irrelevant."

What you mean to say is that "They're inconvenient."
