Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "But we've found over a 1 million tonnes of soviet ordnance in Iraq. That's equivalent to some 40% of the total US inventory. All for a little country of 20 million people."

If the Iraqis had been sure that they were going to be fighting the US, they undoubtedly would have had a lot more ordnance. Maybe they would have kept their WMDs.

You really can't expect the Iraqis to face down a threat, like the US war machine, unarmed.
