YOU HAVE A POINT. HOWEVER, THE SANCTIONS HAVE REDUCED THEIR MILITARY ARTILLARY TO NEXT TO NOTHING. HE HAD A FEW THINGS THAT WE DIDNT KNOW ABOUT AND OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME BIO/CHEM WEAPONS BUT THATS ABOUT IT. HE CAN HAVE ALL THE FORCES HE WANTS BUT WITH NO WEAPONRY, IT DOESNT DO ANY GOOD. EVEN WITH ALL SADDAM HAD IN THE FIRST GULF WAR, WE WENT THROUGH THE COUNTRY IN ROUGHLY 200 DAYS. THIS TIME IT ONLY TOOK 2 WEEKS.
IRAQ AND ISREAL (IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY) FAUGHT FOR 7 YEARS TO A STALEMATE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD THE 4TH LARGEST MILITARY. WE WENT THROUGH THAT COUNTRY EXTREMELY FAST BOTH TIMES. THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT MIDDLE EASTERN MILITARIES DOESNT IT?
