Give him time...he'll do the job for us by his actions. VX gas, human shields, surrender ruses, POW executions, etc.

As a long-time observer of the Israeli/Pal PR war, I'll predict we'll still lose. Everything will be excused for Saddam because he's weak, everything will be blamed on us because we're strong. If he kills ten thousand Iraqis with gas, it will be our fault.

Half the world now has a moral system that blames the strong and excuses the weak in all circumstances. Why else does the fact that the Palestinians have chosen to suicide bomb kids on buses seem to bother nobody but the Israelis and the Americans?

"It is truly amazing, that we have managed to lose a global PR campaign, against the likes of Saddam Hussain."

Could be the rest of the world doesn't buy into the hype that the U.S. is in Iraq for nothing but altruistic reasons. The U.S. image may further tarnish as the gloves inevitably come off and things get real ugly.
