Obviously you have never heard of armored vehicles, Bobert. This isn't a peaceful protest in Washington with police protection for the marchers. It's war. You don't send a man out with a bullhorn. You send the bullhorn out in a tank. You'd better stick to what you know.
LH, just who the hell do you think are going to be in those buildings that US troops will be fighting in from room to room? Do you really think that Saddam will move the civilian population out before he moves the Republican Guard in?
ALL political alliances are based on mutual self-interest. I thought that was general knowledge. Our alliance with Israel gives us a foothold in the Middle East, an area that is of great strategic importance to the US. Granted that need has lessened since the breakup of the USSR but the need is still there.
