Not easy and not enough. We'd need a ground invasion to back up the air-strikes. for that we'd need to build a strong coalition. We're already striking Iraq from the air on a regular basis. We also have to worry about what oil price spikes would do to our already beaten down economy.
I say assassinate Saddam using the CIA and some of his Iraqi enemies. Or drop a daisy-cutter on him. But that's just one strike not a "war". There isn't going to be a war with iraq as much as Bush would like one.

Actually, we can attack Iraq from Turkey and from our unsinkable aircraft carrier on the Med coast. Of course, for that we will have to buy off Jordan or force the young king around to our point of view.

Why need we do either? Surely, King Abdullah is in no position to do more than utter protests?
