What will Saddam do? If Bush is right and he has tons of Anthrax and VX then what if he uses them against us or Israel or Kuwait? What if he blows up all his oil-fields with our men in them and creates the most massive air pollution ever, denying us most of our reason for going into Iraq too?

And what if many of the Iraqis fight us? After all, they have their one-sided media and hear propaganda all their lives. What if they don't realize we're liberators? Like someone who only listens to Rush Limbaugh, they never hear the other side, so how could they know? And if they fight, we will lose a lot of good men, even if we kill them at a 50-1 ratio.

Those are the three realistic possibilities I worry about most. Hopefully none of them happen. even one of them would make the war very costly. But maybe if waited for the UN to come along with us Saddam would just give up. Maybe. We just don't know now. Very pricey gambit Bush is playing. He's either bold or reckless. We'll see which soon.
