It's going to be interesting to see if the US proceeds with an attack within the next week or so.. We still have ships enroute who aren't scheduled to arrive until March... (101st Air Assault).. And it will then take a week or so to get the equipment off-loaded and relocated.... My guess is that Powell is going to have to go the extra mile to support Tony Blair, so two or three weeks of dancing and arm-twisting at the UN to try to get the "half-resolution" - Iraq is in material breach - passed.

Lots of efforts towards getting defectors, however. washingtonpost.com And the story is now beyond debka. Iraq denials--naturally--set forth here: albawaba.com

My guess is around March 1st. The first week or two will be massive air attacks plus special units taking over the oil fields. If it lasts longer than that, then the 101 etal will be involved.
