If the USA goes into Iraq and tries to obey international guides of war, we will loose, indeed. Because Iraq is hiding weapons in hospitals, homes, schools, and offices not intended for that purpose. If we allow Iraq to carry on communications and propaganda, as if nothing has happened, yes, we will loose. If we try to protect the infastructure and civilians, yes we will loose, for the military is mixed in with the civilians. The Iraqis are not stupid, and if we loose, it is because we are stupid, and do not know how to play the game their way, for that is the way that they are going to play it. And Iraq does not mind us playing stupid. We try to follow guidelines and they do not. So this is getting very, very serious.

The Iraqis are not stupid,

I wouldn't be too quick to say that.

It was the Clinton administration that killed hundreds and maybe thousands of Christian civilians in Kosovo by bombing from 15,000 feet up.

Didn't hear much about that from the leftist press, after all, Milosevic apparently posed a greater threat to the USA than Saddm Hussein and his bad mustachioed minions.

If the Iraqis weren't stupid they wouldn't believe that we won't be killing their military no matter where its parked next to.

While the US military is sincere about wanting to avoid Iraqi civilian casualties, we never said we wouldn't bomb targets in civilian areas.

Iraqi TV was next to a day care center, and its gone.

What exactly does it mean to 'loose' something?
