Like I have said in earlier posts, Teribus, there is always the option of starving out Saddam and his folks. Only problem with that is you can bet that the first to starve will be the civilians. Starving a million folks to get to 100,000 is gonna create one heck of a PR headache.

And where is SH gonna hide. Well, he'll be like Waldo in Bagdad. You can bet on that. You seem to loose sight of the fact that he has the guns and with them the power over the folks in Bagdad. Couple that with an American invasion, I think you're gonna find a whole lot more Iraqis that are not going to volunteer to be the mythical poster boy of folks taking to the streets with American flags telling Bush just how happy they are to be attacked.

You brush this a more grave scenerio aside, Teribus, like it can't happen. Well, I'll guarentee you that such a scenerio is the Pentagon's worst fear. Why do you think there has been so much bickering in military over the last month? Why is it that Bush and Rumsfield are distancing themselves from lots of folks in the Defense Department. Why is it that Bush has even talked with Newt Gingrich about stratregies. This ain't Desert Storm. This is more like Viet Nam.

You can ignore these realities as long as you like but, should the huffing and puffing fail to blow SH's house down, remember what I have warned of.
