    Read about it here.

    Hundreds of American troops have taken control of a civilian airport in Saudi Arabia, close to the border with Iraq, according to a witness. The move - which has not been officially confirmed - calls into question the kingdom's public statements that it will not facilitate a military strike against the Baghdad regime...

    Saudi Arabia has been nervous about openly cooperating with the US, fearing it could inflame public opinion, and especially Islamic militants.


    We need not worry about that last bit. Wolfowitz has calculated it into the master plan that none of the US actions will inflame Islamic militants. I mean he said so. What more assurance do we need?

    LOL. Welcome to the beginning of the end, not of the "War on Terror" but rather of the US effective ability to lead the world community. You can get mad or get glad...

    The head of Interpol is concerned war with Iraq will increase the risk of terror attacks.

    Link please, or is this just another "I'm a Republican, so I'm going to blame Bill Clinton for everything ever until the day I die" argument that helps you sleep at night?
