Iraqi
military women with their weapons parade on Thursday, Aug. 8, 2002, in
Baghdad
on the 14th anniversary of the end of the 1980-88
Iraq-Iran War. The parade is coinciding with the ongoing
U.S. threats to launch a military offensive on Baghdad.

My Point: We kicked the hell out of
Iraq
’s “mighty” military once and they still want to
come back for more, huh?
At the end of the day a new offensive would be far
more dangerous because it would involve city fighting (not
open desert). Casualties
within Iraq would be much higher and the political problems arising
from such a pre-emptive strike could have global
ramifications for the
U.S.
Don’t
get me wrong, I think Saddam is a NUT and a threat to the U.S.
I think he is trying to create weapons of mass destruction
and we need to present serious evidence of this ASAP.
I believe intelligence gathering is the most
important element right now.
I
also believe that Saddam needs to start admitting weapons
inspectors ASAP. An
ultimatum should be given to him and the world needs to
hold him accountable.
This guy is a psychopath…
