The most important part of data that could be used in this conclusion is readily available and completely disregarded....Iraq's military capabilities. He has absolutely no ability to control any other country in the middle east....not even Kuwait. The presence we have in the Middle East already precludes this.
The scenario offered is rediculous.
"From basic small unit tactics to great military minds like Clausewitz, Sun Tzu and Rommell - the soldier who sits and waits loses. The soldier who picks the time,place and battle scenario has the best chance to win."
Oh please...a stab at competence. All three of those military minds would tell you Iraq has absolutely no chance to mount an effective military campaign against anyone...save their own people.
"There is more information I have that is not in the article because I could not confirm it"
You obviously didnt try to confirm Iraq's military capabilities.
"for instance that Saddam has met with Syria to try to get Syria to join him and to coerce Egypt and other Arab states onto his scheme."
Not confirmed...yet shared.
"The limited success of mountain operations in Afghanistan shows the effectiveness of using high mountain lairs even against the US."
Another statement that discredits you completely. Tell me one Mountain operation in which we were unable to take the ground desired? We can take any cave in the Iranian Mountains.
"Saddam may well want his "legacy" to be the continuation of his WMD programs in the hands of the Ayatollahs."
Who are on ground just as shaky as Saddam.
C'mon Dude....you float too much nonsense out there.
