early (~Feb) 2002 the US was beefing up the staging areas and US bases along the Kuwait-Iraq border areas and moving and prepositioning lots of equipment/supplies into the Middle East near Iraq.
It would be very interesting to get the details and precise dates under which the $2.4 Billion in invasion planning funds was rebudgeted for, encumbered and paid out during 2001/2002.

It is a terrible shame that it was commented on by so few persons at the time.
You really should re-release it.

Most are foreign, and therefore 'suspect' I had originally culled these reports for DSM.com, for a time line on the diversion of the $700 million from Afghanistan war appropriations toward preparations for Iraq. But then Rep. Conyers' office took over the project. I don't have the link to his time line on this computer. I was disappointed that his time line only included 'reputable' US media sources, and therefore missed a lot of 'ears on the ground' reporting from the areas in question. I'll bet an Arabic speaker could find a lot more.
In case you missed it, read andrethegiant's The American Dream Dies, Economic wolves on the prowl.... We are living in a predator nation. The US preys on the rest of the world, and is now eating its own (us) as well.
