Anyone got a link to this game? I'd like to play it, even though it seems to have an antiwar bias.

Don't waste your time.

I've seen it, and it's just a bunch of lamer anti-war, anti-Bush propaganda.

[Bogey78O]

Wow, he forgot to read Der Spiegel and mine anti-American rhetoric from there.

[AntiGuv]

It's got a very antiwar, antiBush bias - but here it is:

Gulf War 2

It also makes some worthy points to ponder, for all its lack of objectivity.

It's not really a game - you just click a couple of buttons that have no effect on the outcome. Total anti-war propaganda.

'The game appears interactive but leads players down a set path...'

In other words, it's not truly a game, it's anti-war (anti-US ) propaganda.

[Bobby777]

I've seen it ... it's not a game, just show potential scenarios ... it does assume worst case in nearly all situations, but it was interesting ... given our "allies" around the world ... I don't have the link ...

[Bogey78O]

There's no interactivity. You simply click "continue".,

Your only choice is who replaces Saddam.

I was just there and watched part of it, you have absolutely no choices, other than click on "continue" and watch Iraq nuke Israel and so on.

One question -- if they do have all those weapons, why should we wait, for them to get even stronger? Or do they think the US should get on our knees in front of Saddam and allow him to blackmail us and the whole world?

Logic is not the anti-war crowd's strong point.

Oh Good Lord what a gigantic waste of time, at least they could have made it fun. This thing is stick figures and the assumptions they make are absolutely meritless and cynical. At least they could have launched the damn nukes so that we could have a good fantasy out of it.

Not Worth Your Time.

"... it does assume worst case in nearly all situations, but it was interesting ... given our "allies" around the world ...

LOL.

[weegee]

Do any of those worst case scenarios include the loss of many Hollywood A-list actors to the cause of "human shields" defending Saddam and his property?

Excellent!!!

[Bobby777]

exactly ... I think in the end Islam will always side with Islam ... I don't say that as a good thing, simply an observation ...

[AntiGuv]

Great work!

[Bobby777]

could we drop Jerry Springer and Rosie O'Donnell on Saddam? ... I think Saddam would sue for peace ...

[Slainte]

I was hoping for a game with at least a nod to the depth of Chris Crawford's geopolitical game from the 80's "Balance of Power." Boy, was I disappointed. I didn't always agree with Crawford's underlying assumptions, but at least you could put forward policies that actually had an effect on the game.

He forgot to put in the part where the simultaneous detonation of hundreds of 2000lb JDAMs in Iraq cause the Earth to crack open, spewing hot lava all over a kennel containing innocent Iraqi-Labrador puppies. When the crack reaches the water, it causes tidal waves which sink our carrier groups in the Med and Persian Gulf. Iraq's biological weapons are released and kill all human life on the planet in 22 days. All of this happens because Dubya wanted to line his pockets with oil money and get revenge for the attempted assassination of his father!

This is the most probable outcome.

The worst case senario is is going to happen in the Iraqi case.
