Title: May be over before it gets started

I want to see: Large scale B52 strikes, low level F111 and F15E attacks, massive M1 tank formations ripping through Iraqi villages, Bradley fighting vehicles deploying troops and shooting stuff up with its 25mm cannon.  

Bush promised me a war and I am going to hold him to it.  It better not be over without some action.

Actually I'm glad that special forces are over there now.  It shows Bush isn't afraid to get stuff done without the consent of (a) a nation that we conquered 55 years ago, and (b) a nation that we have to rescue every 20-40 years.

The question may soon be who is to replace Saddam. Jackie Chan gets my vote. He'll put the "kick ass" on any trouble makers real quick. ;)

How about we put Ashcrap over there? Then he can put a stranglehold of personal liberty restrictions on those people? ;)

You're aren't going to see many low level F111 strikes since the USAF has them all in the boneyard.

I'd be happy to see a Presidential address one night starting with the phrase "For the past 6 weeks..." and ending with "...Next?"

Those guys are not hitman. They're not looking for Saddam. They are gathering intel on forces and the movement of forces. They're looking for hidden command and control units... etc.

Well, yeah, that's pretty much what the article said. Then again, if they were to sneak in and zap Saddam I don't think anyone would be too disappointed, 'cept maybe Davidpt40 ;)

Who's to be certain that they zap the right one? He's got many body doubles...and then you give away your concealment.

Yet another "accidental leak" of info about US troop movements.  I'm pretty sure that most of this stuff is being publicized to motivate Saddam.

They'd have to rely on inside info. Seems likely we have a few spies there, no idea how close they may be to Saddam.
