Iraq is whispering something

[Willybob]

The only problem is that the American armed forces aren't very efficient at fighting. Sure you have the best technology on the planet but everyones high on speed. Us Brits think there will be more danger from the Yanks than the Iraqi's.

The ideal scenario is:

1) Use American aircraft
2) Use British ground forces

An American General said as much 6 weeks ago.

This will not be a Vietnam, the whole thing will crumble like a pack of cards, perhaps excluding Baghdad as Saddam and his cronies will be toast in any case so expect them to fight to the death.

Now you cannot just bomb a city if a battle enrages else you will be guilty of war crimes under International Law. You have to go in on foot. Believe me this is messy and bloody, I've been there.

I'd locate most of the uncertainty here- the real cost of this cheap oil. Most of the US states are going broke; what will it cost to build the US protectorate/puppet/state/colony or whatever of Iraq? Not even to mention the costs of securing this US island in a hostile sea of nations.

And for anyone who knows history, name the empire that has not gone broke.

China.

This is a rather interesting observation. Not sure how many people have taken notice of what is going on in the Muni Bond Market lately. Some of this could be related to the proposed Dividend Tax Cut. I suspect though that the larger reason is that investors are demanding more vig for the risk they are taking. Not good for local economies.

nah ... don't leave ... who's support do u need when the whole world knows it's a war for money (oil) and future votes in a year time ?

Who's support do you need when you got that of George Bush Sr ? Haven't you heard him bragging that his "most stupid son" become US president ? Rather stay, and enjoy whichever nonsense presented to you

OK. Well I entirely agree that the poll is completely unscientific, but do you know why ? 'coz as someone I know once said, they should have used names instead of countries. Saddam, Bush and whoever is in charge in North Korea. Only then we would have seen a more scientific poll. I don't see Bush or Saddam as representing the people in Iraq or the US, both people are far better educated and smarter than both dictators.
