"Iraq is not Afghanistan..."

Yeah, I don't recall hearing about hundreds of Taliban or Al Qaeda surrendering to journalists.

That's correct: Iraq is not Afghanistan; It's flatter.

They have nowhere to hide...

Good grief, if we could capture all this Islamic hot air we could float a fleet of dirigibles and not worry about B-52s.

Iraq said on Friday the United States would not be able to bring down President Saddam Hussein the same way it toppled Afghanistan's Taliban...

Not a problem. We're all about "diversity" these days...

Not to mention the fact that they have a more or less traditional army - uniforms and everything!

Excellent point - I'd like to ask a serviceman who fought both in Iraq and in Afghanistan what his opinion is of the two in terms of fighting men. Care to make a wager on the answer?

Iraq Tells U.S. It's No Afghanistan

To quote Ralph Peters, "American troops went through the Iraqi Army faster than Lizzie Grubman could back an SUV through a Hamptons Party."

Your no Japan or Nazi Germany either. If these idiots could fight or work as hard as they blow smoke they would be the dominant world culture.

"... Us troops killed in Gulf war 157..Iraqi troops killed 100,000.."

I thought the estimated number of Iraqi dead was reported to be as high as 400,000.

That said, I hope it was the lower number. Those poor bastards were thrown into a meatgrinder by their fiendish dictator.
