Funny, I just was linked to, and sent the Debka site to Groverat this morning.
It was a friend with family in the UAE who sent it to me, he said that this was where the real news comes from in that region. I believe him.

I wish I could remember the source, but last week I read that the fence between Kuwait and Iraq had been cut in 7 places by the US Military, and tanks had already crossed into Iraq at that point in time.
Doesn't it worry anyone else that they had to cut holes in the fence to let the tanks through? What's going to happen when they encounter sand dunes, trenches, mine fields and tank traps?
