"We better not go. </sarcasm>"

Let's anyway - but let's bring lots of water -


But there are some asides of this conflict that will make it even more fun to watch -

Weather in that part of the world - direction of prevailing winds might give us a giggle, rainfall, or lack of it and temperature are also a laugher -

Smart munitions will be amazing as will the gas and microbes which are relevant - so is dispersal and fallout and maybe even nuclear from a little Sadam/Israel trade-off - Hey it only took less than 72 hours for the United States to begin enjoying the fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster - A little Cesium on your lawn will keep the flea population down - now that's going to be amazing to watch on the 6 o'clock weather along with the mold count

One other thing I'm sure we'll find interesting is decontamination without water - from biological and chemical weapons of our troops and equipment - all it takes is water - lots of it and there is none there to speak of - need to mix H20 with some chemicals -

We all know how plentiful that little water resource is even in downtown Baghdad - good R&R at the Hilton - we can carry some extra H2O with us though - give everybody an extra conteen or two -

The cleanup ought to be a ball - our troops, our equipment, their civilians, their infrastructure - don't forget to put out the oil well fires (much less water available than in Kuwait - oops more water needed here -

For this one water is going to be as equally important as diesel fuel and plasma - the really amazing thing is where the hell we get it from - oh I know when the guys are going door jam to door jam in an urban war the can knock and ask to use the shower.

I think you are confusing the geography of Iraq with that of Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. Iraq has plenty of water. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers split the country almost in half. There are even large lakes within 100 miles of Baghdad. Water, isn't going to be a problem.
