Sharp, Well spoken. I felt that the Germans should have pulled back May 1943 200 miles westward into an established defensive line, and then held all of their remaining armored divisions in reserve for counterattacks against Zhukov's offensives. The Iraqis defense from day one was disjointed. My guess is that some key leaders died in the initial air strike. Our goal now is to create a democratic and secular Iraq, a powerful Iraq, hopefully the new leader in the Middle East. Iraq strategically then will act as a counterweight in the Middle East to the Wahhabi influence in neighboring Saudia Arabia, a country whose leaders have shown a bit of ambivalence in purpose over the last 18 months... That would reorient Arab leadership back to the northern side of the Levant where it traditionally lay for many years prior to the last 30-40 or so years .... We also need to shut Iraq's borders to fleeing Baath party members for a number of reasons, war crimes, no Baath Party exile groups, etc. If successful that will drive oil prices downward....
