now what happens when the Iraqis decide to use these chemical weapons?

Given our underestimation of their conventional troop strength, we may have no other option except to go nuclear.

This is beginning to get uncomfortable.

I think even Hollywood is beginning to sense the seriousness- that is probably why they booed Michael Moore.

Uncomfortable? No one expected a "comfortable" victory with no casualties. The Iraqis had months if not years to prepare for this. We are going to take losses--it's a war and our soldiers, valiant heros though they be, are still human.

Relax. The final outcome is not in doubt. In football terms, we're ahead 28-2 in the first quarter. Don't let that safety get you down.

"that is probably why they booed Michael Moorer"

To what is this referring? Hadn't heard about it. Can't believe the Hollywood elites would ever boo that guy.

underestimation? we've lost less than 40 men, unless you believe a russian news web site quoting iranian sources. they've lost thousands. we've lost less than 10 vehicles. their armor, artillery, sam sites, and communication facilities have been decimated. they have 12 POWs. we've captured thousands. thousands more have surrendered. why is everyone acting so depressed today?
