Elroy > The war between the coalition and Saddam's regime. The coalition won. Saddam's regime lost.

Wrong. The coalition won the battle, in fact all the battles, but they lost the war because they cannot control the outcome.

But there were no contest. Saddam's army was weak and starved. Did you expect anything else? However most US casualties happened on so called peace time or at least after GW said "mission accomplished".

Now the $64k question what did the war accomplished and was it worth it?
