A reader named Bob Macaraeg sent the excerpt from Debkafile (below, "War?") to a friend of his in the Navy. The friend is skeptical about waves of American warplanes "buzzing Baghdad":
Having been stationed at prince Sultan Air Base numerous times and knowing first hand how the Saudi Government limits our military activities from their air base, I find it hard to believe that waves of anything left PSAB for a flight over Baghdad. Secondly, with Afghanistan still going on and a carrier actively engaged in the North Indian Ocean, which "carriers" are left to be launching waves of bombers over Iraq??
Radio Free Mike's surveillance satellite is on the fritz, I'm afraid, so I have no idea.
