It's official: No military action against Iraq (beyond the usual perpetual bombing)

[Max Sawicky]

Sandbagging alert!!  I for one recall all the awed descriptions
of the Iraqi military by the Pentagon, before they went in and
cleaned their clock.

I noticed a leak or announcement, I don't know which,
about a month ago to the effect that it would take six
months for the U.S. to restock its inventory of munitions,
including 'smart' bombs, to the point where it was equipped
to invade Iraq.  That plus the following tells me there is a 20%
chance the U.S. invades tomorrow morning.
