On January 2, 2003, the US held simulated war games for a hypothetical invasion of Iraq. These war games had been planned prior to the new year.
By January 4, 2003 the Turkish newspaper Millyet published photographs of Turkish tanks on an unused airstrip over 40 miles into Iraqi territory, in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq. The tanks were there to contain the flow of refugees from Iraq when the US invaded; the tanks had not just arrived.
By January 10, 2003 60,000 US troops are sent to the Persian Gulf. By January 20, 2003 Britain sends 26,000 of its troops to Kuwait.
By February 13, 2003 anonymous US military officials had tipped off The Washington Post that at least 2 US Special Forces units have been inside Iraq for WELL OVER A MONTH...
So if we are trying to rewrite history, we will have to pull back much, much further than January 1, 2003.
