That was actually Plan A, until Saddam changed their picture by sending his thugs to destroy Baghdad's infrastructure deliberately, thereby creating a tar baby for the Americans.

Oh, and by the way ..... key advice that persuaded Saddam not to flee the country entirely, but to stay and fight a guerrilla war, was offered by uniformed PLA officers from the attache' staff of the PRC embassy.

I read that at the time, but in LSMspeak ..... "it doesn't resonate" .... with the b.s. narrative they started pushing the minute we got to Baghdad.

Here's something for y'all to ask yourself and think about:

If the Iranian government were in charge of the U.S. Department of Defense and orchestrated the U.S. military action in Iraq from 2003 onward, would they have done anything differently than the U.S. did ourselves?
