The Inevitable War Against Iraq

Re #1

In my opinion, the all-out assault will be preceded by internal guerilla uprising probably by Kurds. This will distract Saddam. He has to divert part of his elite troops to fight these guerillas. While this insurgency is in progress under the direction of CIA/SpecOps, U.S. will try to instigate defection of high ranking people or army units. Then U.S. can mount an invasion. But due to WMD, the invasion force may be spread out and move in slower pace. Anytime Saddam uses his WMD to Kurds, American troops or Israelis, U.S. will use her small nukes for retaliations. It is politically less provacative for U.S. to nuke Iraq than Israel. I know, U.S. is a great satan in Mid-East. But U.S. is still more popular than Israel. Finally, if the stalemate develops in the battlefield for some reason, U.S. will again use nukes to finish the war. U.S. cannot afford to have prolonged attrition battle Muslim extremists are so fond of waging. U.S. should not give any hopes to them. If they play madmen, they will be nuked.

So basically what you guys are saying is we had better hope that Saddam doesnt have the capabilities to launch his WMDs.

Problem Turkey also hates curds and may not be amenable to having them getting rambunctious in areas they want in Turkey,besides after 1991 I don't think they'll play they got well and truly shafted,they probably consider their current anarchic no go zone for Saddams military a better option.

Did we ever get any confirmation regarding a Turkish News Site saying that families of US Military should start to pack up and go home in the next three months?

A rather over-simplistic and flawed viewpoint to say the least.
American patriotism is about as far removed for Islamic Extremisim as you can get.

Inform us of your personal "set of ideologies" please. I'll be very interested to see what motivates you to declare such bizarre statements.
