Aha! Official word.Dan Hartung sent a press release from U.S. Central Command. He thinks I should take that Debka report (below, "War?") with a grain of salt. The release confirms the destroyed air-defense base: "In response to recent Iraqi hostile acts against Coalition aircraft monitoring the Southern No-Fly Zone, Operation SOUTHERN WATCH Coalition aircraft used precision-guided weapons today to strike an air defense command and control facility at a military site in southern Iraq. The strike occurred at approximately 1 a.m., EDT." That seems routine enough -- not an act of war, under the circumstances. But nothing about warplanes buzzing Baghdad ... Anyone else?
