Hi CobaltBlue; That would be a hell of a trick, given that he has no guerilla forces. By the way, his comment that "The entire population of Iraq will not fight for or defend Saddam Hussein ...", is exactly what the Iranians believed when they invaded Iraq back in the last half of the Iran / Iraq war.

Instead, what the Iranians discovered is that the Iraqis fought a hell of a lot harder when they were defending their own territory in Iraq than they had when they were operating in territory they took from Iran.
