Mrs. Wasp and I were just discussing the fact that after Gulf War I, we stood by while both the Kurds and the Shiites got such a Saddam blood baath, that they have probably been waiting to see if American blood was spilled before investing lives in another up-rising.
Also while all the "embedded" reporters are amassed with our troops on the south of Barfdad, we'll probably attack with paratroopers from the north as a surprise, just to make sure the Baathers are pist-off!!! (literally pist-off, that is!)(as in flies pist-offa the toilet rim)
