Jordan opens up Iraq's western front

Asia Times
"The surprise is not the attack on Baghdad or the advance from Kuwait. The surprise will come from Jordan," a top Jordanian source who requested anonymity told Asia Times Online. The source says that well over 400 American tanks and more than 7,000 American troops may well be on their way to Baghdad from a remote launching pad in eastern Jordan.

Not sure if this is true

That would be strange if it is, from the point of view of Jordans stance!

I do however beleive that we will be going into Baghdad from all possible angles.

Just stated by Central Command that UK, US and Australian special forces are "going about their business, from left to right and top to bottom" in Iraq, operating in small groups. Refused to give any details obviously.

A Military advisor is saying all this stuff while taking questions right now mate.

Remember this is a war though, and it would absolutely stupid to give loads of details about troop movements.
