If the U.S. had not taken the opportunity to strike top Iraqi leadership when it presented itself, a lot of U.S., British, and Australian soldiers would be coughing up their lungs about now. No Iraqi leadership exists that could authorize use of WMD, and most of the remaining soldiers aren't too excited about releasing chemical and biological agents either.

No Iraqi leadership exists that could authorize use of WMD, and most of the remaining soldiers aren't too excited about releasing chemical and biological agents either. So the chem/bio rounds are still there with the units? But the units won't use them because they haven't been told to use them? Sooooo, shouldn't we be seeing reports of chem/bio rounds captured with the thousands of Iraqi troops that have surrendered so far? Strange, I don't recall seeing any reports like that.

Our troops are not all neatly lined up south of Baghdad. The chem weapon factory they found on the way was surely a Revlon plant, right allknowingone? This is serious business now. The Iraqi's have the chems and bought the delivery systems from Russia (now the real reason for Russia's "pacifism"). There is an obvious strategy that Iraq's military commanders are following and I'm affraid our strategists are having our troups are grouping too close together south of Baghdad. I'm hoping they have a counter surprise, but not counting on it. I think our missiles are trying to pick them off a few at a time, but it's pretty clear that the RepoGuard units have been given directive to wait until our troups are massed (regardless of Hussein's health). Just a few thoughts, Screamer Living is easy with eyes closed misunderstanding all you see, it's getting hard to be someone but it all works out it doesn't matter much to me J.

Saw it myself on BBC World Service and CBC Newsworld. They didn't get him; he's still alive and in control. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
