The guy I talked to was talking about the southern oil wells, close to Kuwait. He's usually pretty accurate on what he says.

Months ago I read where our guys were building air bases in Northern Iraq. I guess if you own the skies you can do what and where you want.

<<If Saddam isn't screaming about it, then he is afraid of what would happen if it became common knowledge, maybe?>>

That's probably it. Don't announce you've lost before the war and hope for a miracle.

<<But I am surprised we aren't seeing leaks from refugees.>>

I'm not. I bet they are muzzled as soon as they leave. Can't let them say we've won the war before it begins.
