Iīm afraid that Iraq will not be that easy to invade, if CIA/Pentagon is not successful in getting some of the iraq forces to turn on Saddam himself, then it could be a very long and bloody war.
Saddam has build a whole social class of soliders/military in Iraq, which would not have a job, house, car etc. if Saddam was not in power.
Also the propoganda from muslim media, since the last gulf war have made alot of muslims very angry at western and US trops.... this could mean that even when/if Iraq is invaded, then trops will encounter things like the Russians have seen in their wars in muslim areas.
Iraq have also learned from the last gulf war, and are putting weapons very close, if not exactly, in civilian areas... a bomb hitting a school or hospital could swift world opinion very fast.
And again, what if Saddam feels his life is in danger - will he use any of the missing mass destruction weapons? And how will the US react, if the weapons is tartget at US trops based just outside Bagdag potential killing thousands of trops?
This war will be nothing like the war against Taliban... Here there will be real military targets, and real threads of mass destruction.
I thought that the USīs CIA/Pentagon would be able to start a revolt in Iraq, and someone would take Saddamīs place, however Saddam is like Stalin... getting rid of his generals and officers every few years, so no one would be able to take his place.
I personal hope for no war, and that somehow in the next few weeks someone in Iraq will take the power from Saddam, and start working with the UN. But I guess, if that doesnīt happen, then a few weeks from now we all will be watching CNN
