Signs Point to Imminent Showdown in Iraq


BAGHDAD, Iraq - An uptick in airstrikes and other military moves point to an imminent showdown between U.S. forces and Sunni Muslim insurgents west of Baghdad — a decisive battle that could determine whether the campaign to bring democracy and stability to Iraq (news - web sites) can succeed.

2. Battle, hell. I wouldn't put it past him to attack Iran. eom

3. Sitting on the fence

If he does then he will do it right before or on election day so there won't be enough time for word about the massive casualties to get out. People are going to die, mostly civilians, could be bad move for Bush. Shame on him though for trying to time this thing with the election, the commanders have expressed desire to go in earlier, except for this political micromanagement crap.

4. If they're willing to powergrab on the graves of the WTC dead....

...you think they wouldn't use our troops to cement their hold on power? These fuckers are totally shameless.

7. Depends - he still has 6 days to find Osama

Hmm - they can't find a 6'7" Arab on Dialysis in Afganistan.

They lost 380 TONS of explosives.

Anyone seen the keys to the White House and Air Force 1?

8. My guess

It is too close to the election. He will be wanting to get in all the last minute campaigning because the election is so close.

9. I'm not sure

My sister's good friend whose son is in Falljuah now called her yesterday. This was the first she's heard from him in 3 weeks and she said all he said was "Mom, just watch the news, I can't say anymore, just watch the news". Me and my sister wondered what the hell that meant. This could be it..... I've got no other ideas. Also they sent care packages to him 2 months ago and he has nothing.
