Especially after all the warnings from Saddam about the dire consequences we would face if we dared attack....
I know most of that is bravado....but I also know that our Govt has told us about these terrible WMDs Saddam, and his sons have.
I just can't see them giving up without a fight..or any attempt to cause a huge amount of casualties. This is just too easy.
If Saddam is dead, or his Govt is weaker than we even imagined...great!
But where are all the troops and Iraqi leaders surrendering? This is creepy.
..."I have never seen Baghdad like this. Today the Ba’ath party people started taking their places in the trenches and main squares and intersections, fully armed and freshly shaven. They looked too clean and well groomed to defend anything. And the most shocking thing was the number of kids. They couldn’t be older than 20, sitting in trenches sipping Miranda fizzy drinks and eating chocolate (that was at the end of our street) other places you would see them sitting bored in the sun. more cars with guns and loads of Kalashnikovs everywhere....
