Saddam's Address

It's looking to me like Bush cannot fight this war with one arm tied
behind his back trying to please everybody. Playing right into this bastard's hands and troops will die because of it.

Any war worth fighting is a war worth winning - I think that is a famous quote, meaning if you ain't there to win you shouldn't be there at all.

Hussein is worth going to war against so take the gloves off and win it.
IF he puts civilians in harm's way, too bad, their blood is on his hands, not America's.

I bought Bush's pitch that the people of Iraq want to be liberated and will rejoice - uh..............we're not seeing much rejoicing even in the cities secured by American troops. That would have been nice to see. I heard what Mike said, that the people there felt burned the last time by the U.S., i've heard Iraqi citizens have asked the soldiers if the Americans are going to do what they did the last time. So even the Iraqis who hate Hussein aren't so excited by the war, guess they don't want to get their hopes up too much.

Shock and Awe campaign doesn't seem to have worked - it was supposed to cause so much confusion, be so overwhelming that Hussein's key military guys would turn against him and surrender. Haven't seen much of that.

Maybe it's just because yesterday was so bad for American troops but man if everybody was being honest the word 'VIETNAM' had to have crossed your mind. I even hear Hackworth invoke Vietnam on CNN.
And that is scary.
