I, for one remember how many Iraqi's surrendered to anything that resembled Americans the last time around. Blowing smoke is what Husseiniacs do best.

In Gulf War I, Bush Sr.'s hands were tied by the UN. clintler had no spine in dealings with saddam. There's a new sheriff in town, and methinks saddam, "misunderestimates," GWB's resolve.

If the Iraqi vermin unleashes suicide killers over here i'll bet some American citizens throw their own laws out the window and we will see some good old fashion lynchings.

I suspect you'll not find many of their remains to lynch if they are "suicide" killers. And it won't do much good to go after their family members because they won't be allowed to bring any with them. So, are you suggesting that American citizens will lynch anyone who looks even remotely Middle Eastern?

This SHOULD have been Bush's top priority after 9/11. One has to wonder why this is not being done.

I bet there would be a huge line of volunteers in Iraq.

Then, the instant their foot hits US soil they'd probably make a beeline for the nearest person and request sanctuary.

Sadly, I believe the answer to your question is "yes". There won't be a 7-11 left standing.
