Cogratulations to Gertz and Scarborough (for not being invited to Rummy's little tea party), for being inside without being "insiders".

Iraq's military readiness can be equated to that of the USSR, at any point following WWII. A land of empty scabbards, missiles without warheads (assuming there were any cabable of flying), morale in the cellar, and big, loud talk. Oh, and lest I forget, myriads of people in the West who are (were) overwrought by the threat posed by these dictatorial wienies.

Sir,

You have Ronald Reagan to thank for your country and military, considering his marathon race with USSR to the bitter end caused USSR to collapse financially, while the US survived and even thrived.

Now, for you or anyone to call the USSR military (before 1985) comparable to Iraq is the utmost lie and insult. If you only knew the truth my friend.
