That's why I fear that at a vulnerable moment, like when the US-Brit forces have Baghdad encircled, that Iranian and Syrian jets enter the field and Iranian troops come in to bolster Saddam's battle. Both of those countries, by the way, probably have far more WDM than does Saddam. Ironic, ain't? But that's my worst fear--that the US forces could get trapped sitting duck in the desert, by unintended consequences. If you were Syria, if you were Iran would you give a realistic consideration to the possibility that your nation might be next if the US were allowed to capture Iraq and then pour in a half a million or more troops with complete base control of the country? Why fight the US when it's a half-million strong and fully operationally equipped? They might decided it's better to fight now when the US-Brit force is weaker. Has anyone else noticed how the generals we used to see confidently espousing their slaughter projections on tv don't seem to be wearing the same eager faces?
