Do you find it at all ironic that when this war is over that it'll likely be the US which has killed more people than Saddam over Iraqi issues?

Actually, I would find that astonishing... But if you're including those who are foolish enough to stand fast and fight to defend his regime, then you might be right...

But I don't consider them much of a loss.. After all, an estimated 80,000 Iraqi soldiers died because Saddam was stupid enough to invade Kuwait.. So for us to kill more than that amount is going to take some real effort on our part.

Personally, I think we'll see the largest majority of Iraq's army surrender at their first opportunity.. And I think we'll take great pains to ensure they have the opportunity to do so before attacking them them in force.
