And Saddam expects that a few scary images on the TV screen and a few reports of American casualties will be enough to turn US public sentiment against the war and against Bush. It won't, excepting a few (like you, apparently) who don't understand what American soldiers DO understand - war is risky, but sometimes necessary. I was never for this war completely. I'm not like GST or anything, but I don't really trust Bush either. The fact that there are hundreds of thousands of protesters on the street in virtually every city in the world over this doesn't seem to faze you. I don't know why. Right or wrong, this type of sentiment towards US agression is risky and dangerous.

Masks pose Iraqi gas threat 22mar03 IRAQI soldiers in the country's south were found carrying new gas masks, a sign that Saddam Hussein might be planning chemical attacks, a British officer has said. The discovery was reported by Lieutenant Colonel Buster Howes of the 42 Commando Royal Marines who are currently securing the Fao peninsula on the third day of their drive to oust Saddam. Among the rundown weapons, ammunition and machinery found with the dead or captured Iraqis were some new respirators, with an expiry date of 2007, Howes said. "This is a dark discovery and a stark warning to my men," the officer said. "But we are all very well drilled against the threat and cannot let it stop us in our mission." US and British military officials have said their biggest fear is a possible chemical or biological attack despite warnings to Iraqi commanders to refuse any such orders or face war crimes charges. Dozens of gas masks were taken off the Iraqis, but none owned any chemical protection suits, British officers said. They said four Iraqis were killed in the Faw operation. heraldsun.news.com.au

>> What is your basis for this claim? ABC news has given plenty of air time to anti-Bush commentary, including incoherent protestors and ABC reporters seeking out Iraqis to counter the images of liberated Iraqis tearing down posters of Saddam. Peter Jennings has been "objective" to a fault. << how much time has ABC given to patriotic americans who are conservative but oppose this war. i know you don't believe it, but they're out there. you wouldn't know it from watching tv. all you see on tv is a bunch of ideologues in congress like daschle who just want to oppose the war because they hate bush, or a bunch of freaks roaming the streets. i don't need to see british, french, germans, arabs, etc. telling us why they oppose the war. how about all the current and ex-military (including generals) who have actually fought in wars but who oppose this war. where are they? they are out there but i don't see them on tv. about the only reasonable anti-war people on tv are buchanan, novak, fmr ambassador joe wilson, col david hackworth, congressman ron paul and possibly a couple of others. i can tell that schwarzkopf has hesitations about the war but he kind of keeps them to himself.
