from The Wrap, Guardian Unlimited's round-up of today's papers. 11 July 2002 >>> SPECULATION MOUNTS OVER US ATTACK ON IRAQ The Times speculates about the timing of a possible US attack on Iraq. It says the looming 2004 elections will encourage George Bush to invade sooner rather than later - possibly at the beginning of next year, to avoid the summer heat in the desert. The president will also want to avoid a clash with the mid-term elections in November this year. Not only would a successful campaign get rid of Saddam Hussein, the paper adds, but it would also open up Iraqi oilfields and reduce America's dependence on Saudi oil. But Jordan indicated yesterday that it would not cooperate with any US invasion. "We can see war coming," says Hugo Young in the Guardian. "European nations need to formulate some positions or, ideally, one position. What do they propose to do about Saddam? How do they think about his weapons of mass destruction?" Britain must start to debate the war now, he says, "before these severe anxieties are buried under the juggernaut of a son's revenge for what happened to his father". * Hugo Young: We need to talk about the war on Iraq before it begins http://politics.guardian.co.uk/green/story/0,9061,753171,00.html * Times: American elections dictate timing of an attack http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-352826,00.html ______________________________ Were you forwarded this email?
