Iraq attack in february??
2003-01-22
MOSCOW. Jan 22 (Interfax) - Russia's military leadership has obtained information about the possible dates and scenarios for the U.S.-led strike against Iraq, a General Headquarters source told Interfax. "According to our information, the operation is scheduled for late February. A decision to carry this out was finalized, but it has not been announced," he said.

#4  The only way to get any type of suprise attack after months of military buildup would be to get someone, say Russia, to say the attack will happen in late Feb, and then hit them in early Feb when the new moon arrives.

#3  *shakes head* Start of ground operations maybe, or the start of the siege of Baghdad. The Turks limit us to 15K men in Turkey. Which means we move in 10K, they move into Iraq, we move in ANOTHER 10K...

This may also be disinformation: Russia is trying to curry favor with the EU, and so may be backing France, but that's just the politicos. The military may have different opinions.

#2  This is depressing. My birthday is Feb 2nd and I was really hoping for a gift that was decorative yet tasteful, like Saddam's head on a pike.
