"Rogozin said the U.S. will have to sacrifice 100,000 soldiers in a bid to topple Hussein.

"... The removal of Saddam Hussein's regime will not be accomplished with missiles and bombs," he said. "It requires a large ground operation, and it should be kept in mind that this operation will not be like Desert Storm – which was comical because they did not take Baghdad. They were not capable of taking it without bleeding a lot. If the Americans want to eliminate Saddam Hussein, they must be willing to sacrifice some 100,000 Americans. America is not willing to do that. For this reason, any venture against Iraq will be nothing more than idiotic muscle-flexing.""

Well, Rogozin.............you idiot..........guess you don't watch TV much, do you? Your petty jealousy is showing.

We managed to accomplish in Afghanistan in two months with absolutely minimal loss of American (and civilian) life what YOUR country was unable to do with its idiotic muscle flexing in the same country over ten.........count 'em...........ten YEARS.

"Hussein" has been translated to mean "target". Deal with it...........and keep the hell out of the way.

[set the record straight]

Who will kill the 100,000 US soldiers, or is this a Rusian threat against the US (a terrorist threat?). Politicians always posture and they are never held accountable for what they say, nevermind for what they do. It is true in Russia and among the liberal left in America. Say anything, especially if it is outlandish, and it will get air time and never be held against the demoncrats.
