It seems the word for the era is "regime change" and Iraq is up to bat, now after the Afghanistan effort.
Remember the phrase "at a time of our chosing." Most would agree that if Saddam can be taken down, without massive US military effort, so much the better (saves our brave people's lives).
Iraq's military would be wise to do it, and save many Iraqi lives.
Of course, all the Iraq talk could be diversion, too. If so, where, then?
