As for the war..
This whole play should be underscored by something..solemn..Handel maybe..
The word from the American Defence Secretary is that this war will be short and sweet..
Well those aren't exactly Rumsfeld's words, but that's the gist of it.
What is remarkable, is that both the US and the British have gone to great lengths to make sure someone hears them saying 'this war is not a certainty..it can be stopped..' while winding up the clockworks of the greatest set of soldiers ever collected by one head of state.. The latest American deployments involve 23 thousand of the 101st Airborn and a 5th aircraft carrier..that would be the USS Kittyhawk..
A full third of all British combat aircraft are now in or on their way to the Gulf.. Those Tornado GR4's can put a bomb on you're dinner plate.
Literally.
There must be a 'drastic' change in attitude in Baghdad, says Mohamed el Baradei, the leader of the UN's nuclear watchdog, as the inspectors head back to pick up where they left off..
We won't hold our breath..
