Allan-I know that Special Forces, both US and British, are inside Iraq, and have been for months, to scout out targets and collect intelligence.  As far as I am concerned, Iraq is all about oil and control over oil in the Middle East.  Iraq is only the first one.  It was revealed the other day that the Western Powers have already made deals over who gets what percentage of Iraqi oil. That includes France.
  As you might already know, France, Germany and Russia want the UN inspectors to remain for several months. That means it is too hot to wage war by then.  The US/Brits have drafted another resolution, sort of watered down version of the first 1441.  Canada and two other countries have put forward another draft resolution that would  "please" all. Wait another month before bombing if Iraq does not destroy all its non-existant weapons of destruciton.
   It has also been shown that Robert Powell's so called evidence at the UN was full of BS and untruth. 
"60 Minutes" sent a film crew to interview a so-called facility of mass destruction.  It was simply a collection of villagers who oppose Saddam but are tolerated somewhat by the regime.  They are in a very remote area of Iraq.
  It has also been mentioned by many retired Generals that you don't put that many troups over there if you are not going to use them.  It is also noised around "Beware of the Ides or March".
