Sooo...I don't understand. From that article, you would assume that this is an inevitable win for our country, and a very easy one(relatively) at that. So HOW was Iraq a threat to us again? I'm apparently missing something. The government has done it's best to make us believe that any minute Saddam will be blasting into the country and attacking us, yet they don't seem to really be near a match for us.
Of course, this is something I understood before the war began. The US has a history of only engaging in fights that are thought to be an easy win. I say THOUGHT to be, that wasn't always so, and this does not apply to every war/battle/military strike.
One question---we say Iraq has all these weapons, which is why we must bust ass. But I think the only reason we're going after their country is because somebody knows they DON'T. Why do you think the Cold War lasted so long without us running in to disarm Russia? It may not be oil, but I can't help feeling there is something else that is in the interests of our government driving these events.
I dunno, I'm speaking out of my head rather than referencing my thoughts right now, so I could be missing key facts, but it seems very odd to me.
