agreed--and will Freepers stop having orgasms whenever they hear of iraqi soldiers giving up before the fight. Those poor souls giving up are gangpressed youths who have no beef with us and are fodder for Saddam's Republican Guards.
If Saddam has any strategic ability he is drawing us into Baghdad and urban warfare, where his tribe will fight not for him but to keep themselves alive from other vengful Iraqis and to secure the oil wealth they now control. They would fight us even if Saddam was not there because of those reasons.
And the reports of Iraq soldiers blending into the civilan populace taking off their uniforms would probably necessitate a lightening strike to Baghdad.
