#1 It's nice to see that forthought is being given to Scud hunting. It came as an afterthought last time and caused quite a bit of diverting of resources. Sounds like we have the logistics and tactics figured out in advance this time.

#2 The U.S. has also warned Israel that should it respond to an Iraqi attack with non-conventional weapons, it would immediately forfeit all international support.

What about, say, a Syrian attack? I have to believe that a lot of folks (including Israel) are looking at how they can use the impending chaos as cover for other operations.

#3 Fred, smartest thing the Israelis can do is play dumb and stay out of this. It's like scoring during a time out. We'll do all the work of removing Sammy, and the Israelis can show everyone how they were willing to restrain themselves in the name of peace. It keeps the Syrians and Soddis from having any excuse to interfere.
