Looks like his defense plans are underway. Hopefully, he won't use chem/bio on our troops.

Or on Israel, who WILL use nukes in retaliation.

Gotta be honest...I don't see him going bio on our troops. I see him using them on Israel and the Kurds. He will leave the damage on the U.S. for the oil fires and spills as well as terrorist attacks he will have funded.

He is on his last leg.

It smells/feels like a rumor to me. He would be a fool to give us a reason to come in a day early.

They're idiots and hypocrites. This war is exposing the enviros and the feminists for what they truly are.

We knew this would happen. Setting it on fire produces black smoke. Alas, our missiles don't see smoke, they see palaces.

We can only hope that Saddam is killed by some right thinking Iraqis before the crap hits the fan.

In that case, I can see the Islamists praying to a radioactive hole in the ground. Oh well.

These are not defense, they are offense if he lights a match.

Saddam wants to trap our troops in a tar baby. That's his idea of low-tech defense.

Greenpeace hippies are the only legitimate targets for the French military.

France is terrorized to fight someone who can fight back!
