In the face of the awesome power we are going to bring to bear from every conceivable angle and with the speed of revelation, the Iraqi regime's weapons of mass destruction would be little more than suicide kits...My own worst fear would be Saddam's use of chemical or biological weapons on his own people, killings many thousands of Arabs, just to kill some hundreds of Americans.

Good point. When Saddam realizes his time is nearly up he may want to take revenge on the Iraqi people for "failing" him as well. What better way than to release bio-weapons in Iraqi cities?

Make no mistake: The anti-war voices long for us to lose any war they cannot prevent.

It was the same 30+ years ago and the same today. In fact it's many of the same folks. What these morons don't understand is
1 The world is full of people that only understand raw naked violence(I have a stick and if you're not nice I'm going to hit you with it)
2 The only people standing between them and the bullies of the world are the men an women in the military. And if they fail in thier job thesae "peace advocates" will be the first ones to stand up against the wall.

This is the single best article that I have yet read about the Iraq campaign and about the anti-war leftists.

There is nothing here that fails to commend the author, one who speaks with the authority of knowledge, nothing that carries anything other than the ring of truth.

Yeah, if congress is so concerned about losing so many soldiers, why don't they just vote to cut the military? Our fighting boys and girls won't die in war if they are not in the army.

The author is correct. The truth is they aren't afraid our men and women will die, they don't want us to win this war.
