The Battle for Baghdad won't last long. The real war, which will be fraught with pauses and then bursts of conflict, will probably last for years. And if you include the toppling of the Taliban in Afghnistan in all this, then I guess it has already been going for some time.

So...years.

IF and this is a big IF>............IF Saddam is out and/or his command and control structure is greatly damaged (ministers or generals dead) The war will be over in quicker and less bloody fashion than expected......

For those who cried out that the US wants to kill as many civilians as possible a succesful completion of this opertaion would send the spit right back to their faces.....But that's not really relevant at this point.....My brother in law is there....Two good friends are there (Tank Crews) and One of my good buddies is a Marine with the 1st Marine Division, First wave....God bless and protect them and all the men and women in uniform who volunteered to be there....I know I will be praying tonight

The big blast is going to happen non Saturday.

Tomorrow "Friday"
Is a Muslim pray day, and the Amercians have clearly stated they wont strike. Saturday will be the day when they open up the "light show"

I know one thing, I don't want my taxes going towards this war.

I don't think anyone here said the US wanted to kill as many Iraqi civilians as possible. I think people did take issue with the fact that they are referred to as collateral damage.

Has the Bush adminstration given a list of these "35" nations who say they are part of the willing?

Right, but civilian casualties have been called collateral damage since the days after World War I when they became more frequent, it is military jargon.........surely because Bush is an arrogant pig people take more offense to that terminology nowadays

Anyway, the US now owe two things to the world, now that they have gone in.

1. Saddam goes, and a fair and democratic system is set up, and there is no coercion and intervention if the Iraqis vote for someone that the US doesn't like (Venezuela, anyone.)

2. A mass exposure of any WMD, and I want to see a comprehensive amount of footage, I want to see the WMD in all their glory, not a few warheads, but detailed accounts of the chemical and biological weapons programs, nuclear arms development, and links to Al Queda. I don't want no more speculation, I want documents, I want laboratories, I want arsenals to be uncovered and opened up to the worlds press to photograph and record in all their glory.

I want EVIDENCE.

And I don't mean someone standing in front of a demolished building saying 'oh, this used to be the weapons plant but we bombed it', cos that proves nothing.

No. He just still has not caught on how to count yet. I don't believe 35 nations back him. If they do, it will probably be small nations like Angola, Netherlands Antilles e.t.c.

Really??? I have been probing and prompting for a response to the Venezuela situation on these boards, but maybe it was before you came along...cos noone seems to have taken the prompt.

I'm watching Iraqi television at the moment. Saddam plans to give a live television address.
