Re: Iraq
The no-body bag mentality will cause more rather than less body bags later on. You are absolutely right, we should protect the oil fields from destruction. Post war iraq without oil would be a disaster in the making. The only battles we should avoid are the ones inside the cities. If we can pacify the rest of iraq quickly, the cities will fall without combat, and without starvation. Saddam is counting on us stepping into this trap of his. If we dont bite, he will have trapped himself once and for all. Mike

RE:"going to cut Saddam off from his oil fields first "

My take too but I think the US will not go beyond that.
Too bad Bilow did not want to answer to my question in #reply-18355845, I must be on his ignore list :-( too bad.
