... war is now inevitable ...

When a hard man - the bully- the thug - beats up someone in a bar - he always has a justification. He is usually 'reluctant' to start the fight - but he must be shown 'respect'. So its usually the 'accidental' spill of a drink - the reasonable demand for respect such as 'who are you looking at?' - before the fist - broken glass or boot hits the innocent victim

What we are seeing in the Iraq situation is a similar build up to the attack.

The war is less likely - says Jack Straw - UK Foreign Minister. But this is all part of a set piece. Saddam is being set up - continually provoked - and when the American and British troops are in position - and ready - then the buttons will be pushed - and the public will be given the impression - that reluctantly - we have to fight.

The Odtaa Files predict the following will happen:

In the near future technical breeches of the UN mandate will be found by the weapons inspectors - or American intelligence - using data gleaned from the inspectors - eg where are you storing the weapons we gave you? - you remember - when you were the good guy - fighting Iran - we want to see them now!!!!

This will enable George Bush to issue stern warnings - that will be followed up by a huge media campaign - in which other accusations - most will already be known - such as the use of gas warfare - when Saddam was still a friend - will be paraded - and repeated - and repeated.

Sometime in the two weeks beginning the 27th January there will be an incident - that will finally provoke the war in Iraq. The most probable cause will be an attack on a British plane flying over the 'No - Fly Zone'. The attack will be reported by American and British military and there will be no independent verification.

Why a British plane? - to give the incident more credibility - and to avoid the accusation that America provoked the incident.

Then the bombing starts. The troops invade - and the killings - and injuries - start - in a war that is likely to be far worse than the Gulf War - as the Iraqis - are defending their country - and they will fight in the towns and cities - and we will either bomb those towns and cities - and be blamed for killing - and injuring - thousands - tens of thousands - of innocent Iraqi civilians or ...

... we will send in troops - to fight - in the towns and the cities - and they will kill and injure - thousands - of innocent Iraqi civilians - and yet we will also lose - hundreds - and maybe thousands of our troops - before the war is over.

And few of those that fight - few of those that survive - few of those injured - on either side - will benefit from the profits of the oil companies that will take over the Iraqi oil fields.

And the world will be a more dangerous place - as the war will recruit - thousands to the bin Laden cause - will attract millions of dollars - to the Al Qaeda coffers - and the terrorist bombings will continue -and no one will be safe - anywhere.

Britain in particular will be unsafe as to hit the UK - you hit at America - but without the risk of retaliation - as - when it comes to the crunch - America will not launch a second Afghanistan type attack - or risk many American lives - to avenge an attack on Britain - and we have not got the resources - to mount our own attack.
