Probably true. Which is why Saddam's death should occur within the first minute of the attack. If that requires a tactical nuke, so be it.

Think outside the box. Think big. Think a flight of B-52s with nukes enough to make Baghdad and surroundings a memory.

This would accomplish:
An end to Saddam.
No loss of US troops to solve the problem.
And perhaps best of all, it would piss off the european hand-wringers.

Sorry to say this, but the nutcase would launch against Israel in the first 48 hours of the war. In this scenario, Israel would nuke Iraq and leave us the "clean up" work (literally). No problem with me. No one left in command and control, no Arab governments willing to fight, and we pay $2.00 a gallon for gas until Russia gets everything online. I can live with that to put the Bedouin bast*rds back in their place. Not to mention that will motivate the Iranians to get back in line quickly.
