Never on a Sunday
All sources of news are reporting the inevitability of the US and Britain going into Iraq very soon. Unocal has got the way cleared for their pipeline through Afghanistan, now it’s Halliburton’s turn for some juicy profits and tweaking the Soviet’s nose while they are at it. The war room plans no doubt call for a massive missile strike on Baghdad itself, so much for not wanting to hurt the Iraqi people.
Most asked question then becomes when? The Vegas line is for the day after Valentines Day, but with support eroding for military action daily might not the call be made to have the bombing start during the State of the Union speech to Congress on Tuesday? It’s well documented that Bush was a bully from Texas all his life, and when bullies find the crowd is beginning to sway against them they respond with more violence. With his finger pointing at the TV cameras and much of the world watching, he has a great chance to put some bang into his speech.
