Iraqi and French? Are you sure, John? The decision over which ones surrender first will probably have to be done using instant replay cameras.

his country will not fall as easily as Afghanistan

Sounds like he's already resigned to the fact the it will it, only the effort required is in question.

Iraqis will fight ``tooth and nail'' against any U.S. invasion.

OK!!! You guys go ahead and use your “teeth and nails”.

I think we will be using Guns and bombs ( Nukes, I hope )

I hear tell the networks are secretly trying to pay the Iraqi military to surrender to their news crew first.

Let it be said of Babylon II. They fought hard, died good.

New York Times:

Jacques Chirac rules out France Joining anti-Saddam Coalition

However since President Bush has taken this long to strike back it is obviouse that he doesn't have the will to do what needs done....

Ever heard of the words, "preparation," "planning," or "logistics?"

Running a war is not like flipping a light switch. Maroon.

We will have to have a deep water port close to the theater of action. I don't think we have that lined up yet. We might could go overland through Turkey; I don't know if that option is being prepared either.

The key is sustainable power and that means logistics and that means a port or some sort of logistics tail out of Turkey (or maybe Kuwait).
