1. Maybe because of what is happening in Kuwait BFITW?

Looking forward to seeing what comes up. Kuwait is certainly not looking good from some of the articles I've seen posted here.

3. Exactly what Admirals and other military leaders said would be up

if we waged this war and took on Saddam. It would SPREAD terrorism not end it...tat is my suspicion. Frankly, I think this photo op last weekend will escalate terrorism and attacks far beyond Iraq's borders and we will now see it escalate.

4. Residental areas targetted ....

Terrorists have attacked residential housing compounds in the Riyadh area in 2003. Credible information indicates that terrorists continue to target residential compounds in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the Riyadh area, but also compounds throughout the country.

5. They want everyone to leave Saudi Arabia

because with Hussein captured, it's now TOO safe.

I don't know. That's as good as any explanation we're going to get from Oberstromgruppenfuhrer Bush.

6. Save money. If they're nonessential, fire them.

What do we have a bunch of non-essential employees hanging around for anyway? Are we just living in the lap of luxury hiring people who don't do anything important?

7. This is another fine mess you've gotten us into, Chimpy

Imminent Ballistic Fecal Rotational Displacement (IBFRD).

9. Once the AF base was vacated in SA I figured as much

In fact the people on the base were confined to it, couldn't leave under any circumstances.
