Now Saddam knows that if we go to war with Iraq, we are going after him personally. From his standpoint he will have nothing to lose by using every weapon in his arsenal because he will die regardless.Perhaps, but you can apply the same reasoning to his age. When he has nukes and deployable CB weapons, what prevents a pyschopath with a Saldin complex from going out with the big bang?
So thatt begs the question, do we wait or do we act.
You also presuppose that we are going to reenact the Gulf War scenario. I'm not convinced we will go that route.
I still believe the we could get Saddam by using more subtle methods. We must have the people trained to carry it out. Then we would not look like a big bully imposing our will on a country that is basically third-world.
I read somewhere that 89% of Iraquis want him removed. It's not the Iraqi people that are the problem, it is Saddam. Doesn't eveyone agree on that, so let's get rid of him and see what happens.
