#1 The Kleptothugracy of Egypt has upscale ideas about the importance of protocol. When high level visitors come, they frequently change their reception committee, dates of the meeting, subject of the meeting, etc. All this is of immense importance to the egos and self importance of the higher levels in Egypt.

#2 Fred --- Sounds like your evil plan (TM) is working. The USA et al are staging for massive war (this is beyond threats), applying psyops on the troops and high command, the UN is equivocating a bit less, and the arab governments are publicly calling for him to step down. Nobody in the mainstream press talks about it, but after Iraq, others will move into our crosshairs. Anybody who takes Saddam needs to be a bonafide tyranny, too. Pinning everything on Israel does not have the effect that it used to have in the good olde days. About time these guys started feeling the heat.

#3 Lot's of psyop action on the home front, too. History Channel is running all sorts of GWI stuff, AMC has John Wayne (Jacksonian Icon) starring in lots of "Indian Wars" flicks. How's that for a meme?

If Saddam isn't sweating, he's an idiot.

#4 He is sweating, and he is an idiot.

The History Channel stuff has been excellent this week.

#5 The nice thing about the buildup is that if Saddam leaves and we occupy without firing a shot we're in position to use that equipment to take out (a) Syria (b) Saudi Arabia (c) Iran.

It'd be nice to keep the three of them nervous and guessing.
