Laura, We should probably be worrying more about Saddam Hussein .. Y2k is shoring up nicely. Maybe we should worry about Sadam AND Y2k. I believe there could be a connection between Sadam & Y2k. US-Army will be finished dealing with the Y2k-bug in 2009. Pentagon made Y2k-planning a national security-item and put a blanket over it. This mean they are not ready in 2000 (nor in 2004). This mean the President can't fully rely on his army after 2000. So he will use it before 2000 to eliminate every possible threat to US-safety. How to do this Step one; change NATO-policy and tell the world from now on you strike whenever you think it is necessary without consulting or even informing other members of the NATO or the security-council. (Remember, you are in a hurry. Talking takes time) Step 2; create a conflict with Sadam (read Scott Ritters side of the UNSCOM-story. America stopped cooperation with UNSCOM in april this year) Step 3; create other conflicts in the Middle East. For example; let Israel bomb Lebanon "by accident". Hezbollah will strike back (and did by launching 12 rockets on Northern Israel) so you have a legitimate reason to strike back and voila you got the escalation that is needed. Ever heard of embedded software. How many embedded software-problems will the US-fleet have. How many time will it take to replace all the bugs. Were am I wrong? With regards, Paul P.S. Clinton canceled a strike on Iraq in November at the last minute. He said; "the PLANES were already in the sky". On the first night of the real attack US only launched missiles from ships. No PLANES.
