victory in Iraq ? but at what price?

Yeah, a good "What If" article. And "Nobody Knows." I take my stand with the "Easy Victory" gang. TWT.

>>1. Iraqi forces unleash their chemical or biological weapons arsenal.
2. Saddam Hussein makes a bloody last stand in Baghdad.
3. Iraq's oil wells are turned into fields of fire.
4. Saddam puts civilians in harm's way.
5. Terrorists acquire Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.
6. Once Saddam is ousted, Iraq descends into chaos.<<

If you honestly believe that 1 and 5 are possible, then you have to admit that Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld, et al, are correct when they say that Saddam has WMD, and he would gladly share them with our enemies.

As for me, I agree with Rummy. 1 through 6 are all within the realm of possibilities.
