[Arthur Wildfire! March]

It's amazing what half the US military on his border will make him do. If the UN is impressed now, imagine how impressed they will be when it's over.

However, I would not expect this to be a lightning quick war. It will take at least two weeks of bombing raids for starters. There might be delays as we arm freedom fighters. And, unless we are ready for everything he has, it would be insane to march straight into Bagdhad right away. Cutting off Bagdhad from the rest of the country would make more sense. Then let it wither on the vine.

I'm not so sure, there's a great article today that discusses a more "surgical" type of attack :-) Who knows at this point?

It would be preferable to do it like that, but I doubt we will. I predict tanks rolling within two days of bombing. I think we will have to go straight for Bagdhad as well. Saddam is reportedly planning to trap a few million of his own people in Baghdad, surrounding it with a ring of oily chemical agent. We'll have to move in and prevent that. Saddam wants us to nuke Baghdad, making us responsible for the deaths of millions. We're going to have to get in there and take the casualties, I'm afraid.
