Gearing up

Besides the news about all the troops and ships that have geared up for a trip to Iraq there is currently a shortage of the IV version of Ciprofloxacin. Apparently the US military has been gloming on to lots of it so it's on national backorder. By the way, Cipro is useful in treating people who've been infected with Anthrax.

Hmmph. Blair is saying war isn't inevitable while at the same time moving virtually every free military asset he can get his hands on into range. We're going to war alright as soon as they get the slightest excuse it's going to kick off big style.

The thing is though, the Brits dont have the money to deploy the units that they've deployed there.

We already have all the excuses we need. We're just moving into position, no sence telling them "we're at war but your going to have to wait until we get some people there for you to fight with".

As far as the Cipro, well I don't think that mustached asshole will have a chance or the balls to use bio weapons but no sence in taking chances.
