Anyone remember the Russian term [b][i]'maskirovka'[/i][/b]? It means 'deception' or 'trickery' and the Soviets were quite good at deceiving their enemies as to the true object of their preparations and movements.
I sincerely hope that the Bush Administration's military and intelligence advisors, experts, and technicians have arranged for some [u]other[/u] surprise attack against Bin Laden and his high command that do [b]not[/b] involve the forces being arrayed in the Red Sea, Diego Garcia, Pakistan, etc.
I hope that this is an American 'maskirovka' and that we hit them blindside from another direction.
The last Gulf War was [u]almost[/u] accomplished with very little loss of American lives. I'm not so certain that we can get in and get out of Afghanistan with such little loss of life!
