Attacking Iraq with No Warning

Media Workers Against the War has two articles posted which seem to suggest an attack on Iraq is closer than imagined. There's also an AP story from Friday that contends we'll attack without a "warning" or buildup this time around, in accord with the new Bush doctrine on preemptive strikes:

Most analysts assume Bush would slowly generate support inside and outside the country with a series of warnings to Saddam and a deliberate marshaling of U.S. troops. After all, the world saw the Persian Gulf War coming for six months before Bush's father ordered the attack.

But there may be little or no warning this time.

If the United States' estimation of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program is correct, a long buildup to war could be catastrophic, analysts say.

So, the coming disaster still looms just around the corner, despite the urging of caution from the military. Also check out some comments on Iraq from two weeks ago.
