"Since Israel has long wanted to embroil us with Iraq.."

Aristeides, don't you agree, that instead of us getting "embroiled" in Iraq, wouldn't it be better to use the advise in my post above, from my military pal - and simply do what we just did in Afgan...Hussien steps down or we give him 48 hours to evacuate ALL of his cities - then, bomb them all to rubble! Less U. S. casualities! bttt

Personally, I doubt if Saddam would agree to such terms unless we guaranteed him a very cushy -- and secure -- retirement. But it's politically impossible for us to do that.
