| President Saddam Hussein has dug trenches around Baghdad and centralized the command of the Republican Guards in preparation for a U.S. attack, Iraqi opposition members said on Monday. An official in the Iraqi National Congress main opposition group, which claims to have operatives in Iraq, told Reuters 60,000 Republican Guards troops have dug in 19 miles around the Iraqi capital, focusing on entrances facing the Jordanian border and Kurdish controlled areas. "Republican Guards brigades are reporting independently and directly to Saddam now," the official said. "He has sacked commanders to gain even more control and minimize the risk of conspiracy."

Now's the time for Bush to ignore Iraq until next September, then take it while they're all tired and taking a nap... |
