Teribus:

First of all, do you do drugs? Jus funnin' with ya'..

But really, whats with the above post? It makes no sense. You equate an urban war in the streets of Bagdad where the US will be completely surrounded by, ahhhh, the other guys with a theater in Moscow where you have the exact opposite. You can do better than this. Maybe you were just tired of wrestlin' with LH, I don't know?...

But, okay, lets just assume that you weren't on drug or worn out and that we'll even *pretend* that the US troops are not completely surrounded by the enemy or folks who look like the enemy but act like the enemy because the enemy has guns to their heads. Okay, so each apartment building in Bagdad is just like the Moscow theater. I know this is a stretch but, hey, for the point of discussion I will let you have all of these imposssible scenerios.

Lets look at the Moscow theater numbers. Roughly 10% of the hostages died. Now if the hostages in Bagdad are the folks who look like the enemy but not the enemy, if the US does as well as the Suskies then you just killed close to 400,000 civilians. Add in the 132,000 enemy folks who are loyal to Saddam and figure they might as well fight to the death since they're gonna die anyway, you're up to over a half a million Iraqi folks killed... Hmmmmmm?

Here's my calling card. Think you need to get your PR folks on the phone.

Opps, Teribus, ol' bobert forgot the US losses. Well, lets see. They are gonna have to fight house to house, apartment by apartment. Their high tech stuff ain't gonna do 'em much good at all so, hey, whaddayathink? Well, we lost over 200 folks the last time but that was a high tech war. Since this one ain't I'll go with 20,000. But now if you think that's too high you can just plug in any number you want and add it to the 532,000 you've allready killed off and, well, there you have it....

I think maybe your PR firm will be needed a healthy retainer, my friend, *before* you fire the first shot, thank you...
