The meter is now officially running, with the UN giving Iraq four months to determine its fate, to come clean on weapons programs.
But, with Washington’s “zero tolerance” policy on crawfishing, confrontation may come sooner.
Of course, there’s always the chance that Iraq will comply; however, that possibility isn’t interfering with the US military buildup in the Gulf.
Heavy equipment, aircraft carriers and mobile headquarters are heading east as if to war. There’s a newly leaked combat plan in the newspapers, but there are many other scenarios as well. The one missing element right now is soldiers in the field.
Balancing plans for battle, adrenalin and the ticking clock, where the buildup leads, and what another Gulf War might mean for American soldiers and sailors.
