In my town, everyone I know recognizes the peril from Saddam Hussein. We'd be crazy to wait for it to materialize. When our offensive begins, we're sadly going to lose brave men and women, perhaps many. But the alternative is far worse.

I hear the same "Saddam is a threat" conversations here. However, we have very capable leadership and I believe our losses in attacking Saddam & company will be minimized.

What is being hidden here is the role that the IDF will play, especially when Saddam fires off a few SCUD's at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

This is being negotiated right now. It is masked so as to present the Arab League with a faits accomplis when the war commences. In for a penny, in for a pound, if you know what I mean.

All those exercises the Israelis have been having with the Turks? There's a reason for that, you know. Just think of the SAM suppression/ground attack/anti-SCUD roles that the IAF could perform.

Be Seeing You,

I agree. And I believe that Americans will rally behind our leadership wholeheartedly.
