Hawkmoon--Perhaps you can answer the question. I note neither of your colleagues who support this war has adequately addressed this. Before I ask the question, however, let me point out that America's best reason for moving forward with war is speculation. To date, there's been no beef that has been shown and the intelligence put forward has been caked more in convenience than in fact. Here's the question: How do you propose that Bush capture Baghdad and take over the government within? Baghdad has 5.5 million citizens and it will be protected by the forces who are most loyal to Saddam Hussein, the Republican Guard and special security forces. These forces will number between 100,000 and 200,000, maybe more if the Iraqi regular army units retreat into the city. Moreover, it's rumored that Saddam has issues weapons to the citizens. So how do you propose this happen, this question keyed for consideration purposes in the background of Stalingrad and Morgadishu? I'm interested in learning your answer. By the way, I don't think they talk about this question on Lazarus' new Start the War thread.
