Another thought occurred to me about this Saudi Arabia thing that I posted yesterday. I am reminded of an email I received from a roommate (at the time) of mine in the summer of 2002. It was from his dad, who was stationed in Afghanistan at the time. He forwarded it to my roommate with the preface "I'm not sure why this isn't classified, but here you go" and it basically told him that he might be restationed to Iraq in November of 2002. It took about two months for word to get around, and by then we were mobilizing to go over there. The connection? It looks like our perpetual state of war is about to shift fronts again.
