An impoverished and corrupt feudal country can fire off all the bluster it wants to when faced with a great industrialized and technological power.

Tough talk from a little nobody who didn't win against even their neighbor Iran....and was washed up in less than 3 months with its war against America last time. And I seriously doubt that we will use half the number of troops this time around. We have learned how to use missiles and bombs....and Saddam needs to think about his future...its getting shorter and shorter each day.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Hopefully the U.S. Senate will get to debate war powers for the commander-in-chief for Gulf War II

Translation: Get our allies within the U.S., who hate America as much as we do (the Democrats), to hamstring Bush so that we can negotiate a victory out of battlefield defeat once again.

[Gritty]

Frightening stuff!

First thing you know, he will be threatening us with the "Mother Of All Battles!".

[livius]

Yawn.

[muir_redwoods]

Oh No!! not another vivious response from the Elite Republican Guard. Please, anything but that.

Last time it took the military about 96 hours on the ground to bury a few thousand alive so the rest would wet themselves trying to give up. The stalwarts even surrendered to unarmed news crews.

I suspect it will be different this time but I do not expect a different outcome.

IOW, don't bring a knife to a gunfight!

[Skwidd]

The Iraqi soldiers are dangerous. They might poke an American soldier's eye out with their aggressive white-flag waving.

[demsux]

Or shouting "NEEEEE" at us.

[cpdiii]

An attack on Israel or the United States with Chemical, Biological or Nuclear will result in a nuclear strike on Iraq and its division into several smaller nations. Iraq would cease to exist and the United States would posses the 4th largest pool of proven oil reserves as a prize of war.

[okisok]

Just like our massive reply for the world trade center.

[tracer]

One can only hope that the Butcher of Baghdad and his toadies

Live long enough to experience the humiliation of hearing a recording

Of this blather and bluster through the bars of a concrete cell while watching

A firing squad assemble on the parade ground of a U.S. military base --

And the truckload of hungry pigs brought in to clean up the mess......

(Are they still hiring at Hallmark?).

But Mr. Ritter said there is not any proof that Saddam has any weapons of mass destruction. I'd love to know who turned Ritter into a turncoat, and what the price was.

The only part of the article that is belieable is this:

At the very least, concluded an anonymous top security official in a large Arab state – widely rumored to be Saudi Prince Turki, the retired chief of Saudi intelligence who held the job for 25 years - what will happen between Bush 43 and Hussein will be larger and more dangerous than what happened between Hussein and Bush 41.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

LOL, Conjures up amusing images.

Hussein then told the participants he wanted to hear their views and analysis, "calmly without getting emotional."

The conference room table probably still had bloodstains from previous department heads who made the mistake of speaking calmly without getting emotional.

[BenLurkin]

Yep! People need to be reminnded how the demo-lefties in Congress made the vote on the Gulf War a very close event!

[morjon]

Personally I don't look for a bio or chem attack on our soil...more likely about two dozen homicide bombers sent into crowded malls, as in Israel.
