Has anybody heard anything new??? Haven't heard anything. Speculation: Very preferable to have the war take place in the cooler winter months. If other world leaders take great objections to the U.S. rationale for the war, it may be necessary to have another round of UN weapon inspectors, and/or further political wrangling. If the inspectors are re-sent to Iraq, war would be put off until next winter unless Bush receives incontrovertable proof of Iraq's progress in Weapon's of Mass Destruction before March, or he shoots down a US plane in the no-fly zone. Better than even chances of the match proceeding, IMO. David
