<<If that's your worry, rest easy - we will find them in droves, we already are! Did you see what the Marines found in the caverns at Al Tuwaitha?>>

Nadine.....do you have a link that verifies these as wmd's? Last I saw was they were uncovered at an Agricultural processing plant where these sorts of chemicals are in everyday use. Are we talking about the same discovery? Thanks in advance.

Have to agree with you, re "Yay Special Forces!"

As of today, I'd say the Regime Change phase is over. Saddam may or may not be dead, but he no longer controls Iraq. Just a lot of mopping up to do.

Regime Change went well.
Lots of bad things that could have happened, didn't:
No attack on Israel, from Lebanon or Iraq
Few U.S./British casualties
No Stalingrads
No chemical weapons used.
No serious destruction of infrastructure
No intervention by Iran or Turkey, even by proxy
No regime-threatening protests in client states who helped us.

Now, on to Nation Building.
