Re: In Plainsman's Poker . . .
. . . you only raise the stakes when you can cover it.
The U.S. is up, prepped, and primed for hits on already-determined targets of strategic value to Hussein.
Saddam is ruffling feathers to hide his nest, which is packed with WMD, and lacking in ability.
And should a terrorist assault with proven, or even implied, connections to Iraq successfully occur on any U.S. sovereign soil, be it the homeland, or any internationally recognized embassy, hell will open wide and the majestic palaces of Hussein will vanish from the face of this Earth.
