Re: Re: 2/3's of the Iraqi conscript army ready to surrender

No surprise here either. I was in Gulf War I and had the job of rounding up the cowards that surrendered. There is not a courageous soul among them. Also, the ridiculous reports that there will be 500,000 Iraqis killed are just stupid and reports of heavy American casualties are crazy. There is a higher likelyhood that we will kill more of our own with friendly fire than the Iraqi's will. That has always been a problem.

It also appears that the argument that we shouldn't attack Iraq because we cannot go after Al Qaeda at the same time has been disspelled. Anti-War protesters are idiots and chicken shits. We're doing a good thing and the future will show that Bush's leadership and action was responsible for radically ending the threat of terrorism. Terrorists are not going to be more active. They are cowards and we have them running scared.

I wouldn't refer to them as cowards - they were conscripted by force and do not support or like Saddam.

Big booms in baghdad tonight....

The peace could be shattered again soon. On Friday, eight of the 14 B-52 bombers at Fairford air base in western England took off, portending a third night of air strikes, which have been limited so far but apparently effective in shaking Iraq’s leadership.

That would probably mean 96 x 2000lb CALCMs.....

I am rather shocked by the lack of awe thus far.

OK then, for argument's sake I will accept your reply. Sadly though this brings up a whole new double standard. What about Ariel Sharon in Israel? He was committing war crimes against the Lebanese at much the same time as Saddam was gassing Kurds. Are the Americans giving him ultimatums to leave Israel?

Sharon was elected by the people of Israel.

As for the gassing soldier situation, surely you can't compare that to this:

BTW, soldiers used to stand out in the open as nuclear bombs were set off too. We know better now. I don't think Saddam does.
