Has Bush sold us a pig in a poke?

[p_p_man]

Where are the mass defections from the Iraqi armed forces?

Where is the popular uprising from the civilians who have long lived under terror?

Where is the token resistance we were meant to come across?

Why haven't the people of Baghdad caved in with the almost 24 hour bomb runs?

Why haven't the Northern Kurds come in on the allied side yet?

Bush probably sold us a load of lying shit just to get his hands on that oil...

He's still the most dangerous man on the planet in my eyes...

I think that people are beginning to wake up to the fact that this is not going to be a quick in and out affair and that the Iraqi army has learnt from the last time .

They are not going to wait in the desert to be blown apart - they are going to fight a guerilla war - attacking weak points and hiding in buildings etc -

If the forces are being held up in the South then Bagdad will be very tough - will our politicians hold their nerve ?

 

[p_p_man]

will our politicians hold their nerve ?

Some will, who didn't let themselves get carried away with overblown belief in the might of military power...

Others will start fading if the going does get tougher, especially when their constituents start asking questions...

And Bush? Probably not. He's a man on a mission...

1. Everyone outside of Republican Guard range is surrenduring. The others still don't wat to be shot.

2. Everyone outside of Republican Guard range has revolted (some YERS AGO dolt). The other don't want to be shot, again, or gassed, again. Even the Iraqi troops have been issued gas masks...

3. This is token resistence. Casualties are measured in the 10's, not the hundreds, or thousands. It's disorganized and geared towards Saddam's survival. He considers even captured and on trial as being a victory.

4. See 1 and 2...

5. Well he's done a piss-poor job of keeping the oil. Stupid Son of a Buscuit eater gave it to the Iraqi People. What a Fawktard. He should have kept in to fuel the engines of Imperialism and world conquest.

6. Short of anyone within the range of your Bacardi and beer breath...

Gord, I don't know about you Brits, but when aomeone pisses down my back, it sure as hell strengthens my resolve. But, we understand the high cost of compassion. We could have done some things that would have terrified these people into coming anywhere near us.

We can turn it into Viet Nam for p_p_'s amusement.

If they run they're Republican Guard. If they stand still, they're DISCIPLINED Republican Guard...

well, we had better hurry up and win this war then because...

the increasingly violent protests in neighboring Arab countries already look as though they're about to spill over into larger conflicts...

Hi ppman . . . and Turkey has moved troops into the Kurdish region of North Iraq to "stabilise" the area . . . U$ was not happy, frightened that the Turks may take the north Iraq oilfields . . . can't let those lazy Arabs get the benefits of the war spoils . . .

I somehow get the feeling that the Dubyah Shrub Administration has double-crossed the American people by setting up a domino strategy to extend the war for as long as possible, and into Iran and Central Asia . . .

Hi Don...

Now that's an interesting theory...

Think it has been the strategy all the time . . . the longer the war, the greater the profits for the NE military-industrial complex . . . and the further into debt the U$ gofernment will go, thus preventing recovery by subsequent Democrat Administrations . . . and the greater reliance that will be placed on trade agreements to keep the declining U$ economy "on top" of the free world . . .
