"whats the population in baghdad thats going to die? thats what around a third of the nation?

this act will probably make him the greatest tryant of all time....has anything exceeded this?"

Not even close.
1. The Holocaust.
2. The Battle of Berlin.
3. Japanese refusal to surrender resulting in Tokyo firebombing (over 100,000 killed in two nights), Hiroshima, and Nagasaki.
4. The entire rule of Stalin.
5. Mao's entire dictatorship.
The list could go on and on, but it would be up there if 5 million people died, but that's not going to happen.

SO HOW COME IRAQI SOLDIERS WEAR GREEN UNIFORMS???

It's not all desert. As we get closer to Baghdad, some of our soldiers are switching to darker uniforms also.

"Iraq is in the desert right?"

There's plenty of mountain and swamp, and the area between the rivers (Greek: Meso = between, Potamia = rivers) is full of good croplands that can be quite green.

Believe it or not Dept.: Before Saddam and the sicko socialists ruined the place, Iraq was a net exporter of RICE.

"Chatter" is an intel term for radio or telephone intercepts of enemy communications.

Native Iraqies presumably know that they are in the desert right? Everything is tan right??
SO HOW COME IRAQI SOLDIERS WEAR GREEN UNIFORMS???

Almost all of the 8-year long Iran-Iraq War was fought in Louisiana-style green marshes.

In Gulf War I, the Iraqi Army went into it with basically no desert fighting experience whatsoever, while most US troops had trained in the desert in California, ironically. Media never told you that prior to the war, though.

Very few people actually live in the desert in Iraq.

"I think the military should either bomb the damn mosuqes or invade them."

Blonde? No, plus my wife would kill me. Suicidal? Yes. Then we would have the Jihad for real and about 400,000,000 angry Muslims to deal with. We have pros doing the job. Eventually the snipers have to come out for food. Psyops will take over once the perimeters stabalize outside these mosques. Who knows, maybe we'll bomb the snipers inside with 24/7 of the VICHY CHICKS causing them to go insane and shoot themselves.

"If he's dead, who's going to take the responsibility for using something that makes all invovled (from general to private) an instant war criminal?"

Good question. Here's another: Who's nuttier, the insane egomaniac or his blindly obedient followers?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

You are correct, Mesopotamia was the ' Fertile Crescent' of the ancient world. Between the Tigris and Eurphrates was very fertile farmland. That is how that area became the birthplace of civilization.

Bradly was the mayor of l.a.

Keep in mind that the followers we are fighting, the so-called "hard-core" of Sadamn's group are all guilty of mulitiple war crimes. They know they are toast once we win so they will go down doing the worst things imaginable on the way to meet Allah.

Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, red China... all in excess.

One of them (the nuclear bazooka, forgot the name*retired weapon*) has a blast radius larger than the range of the weapon

Is there supposed to be another big sandstorm starting Friday? How will that affect matters?

Prayer is the best thing we can do!! I pray a lot for them!

Actually 6 million only counts the Jews that he slaughtered. Most estimates of the 'final solution' put the total at 12-15 million... Christians, gypsies, dissidents, etc. No other sizable group lost anywhere near the proportion of the Jews.

[flutters]

I know this is a serious thread, but ROTFLMAO at your tag line.

May all of Saddam's virgins look like Helen Thomas

[cajungirl]

Yep,,

[Calvin Locke]

Saddam's color blind and everybody is afraid to tell him?

[Plutarch]

I think Chemical Weapons are feared more by the French than by Coalition forces. Our forces have protection, but the French would be fully exposed.
